Elizabeth Chambers' kids don't know about her romantic link to her new boyfriend because she wants to "mitigate trauma."
The Bird Bakery founder said in an Instagram Q&A Monday that she's holding off on sharing the news with daughter Harper, 8, and son Ford, 6, because she's still going through her divorce from disgraced actor Armie Hammer.
"They don't know he's my BF," Chambers wrote in response to a follower who asked how her kids were with her beau, Ricardas Kazinec.
"Over the past two and a half years, my main (and only) priority has been to mitigate trauma and protect my kids at all costs."
Chambers, 40, said she doesn't find it "helpful, productive, or necessary" for her kids to meet Kazinec while they're still "emotionally processing" their parents' divorce. Although the Texas native has not informed her kids about Kazinec, she went Instagram-official with the 26-year-old in September 2022 after weeks of teasing his presence in her life. The pair met in the Cayman Islands, where Chambers has been living since the start of the pandemic.
