ARMIE HAMMER FILES FOR JOINT CUSTODY: Armie Hammer has filed for joint custody of the two children he shares with estranged wife Elizabeth Chambers. He is asking Chambers to return to the U.S. so they can set up a custody schedule for Harper, 5, and Ford, 3. She is currently in the Cayman Islands with the kids. In legal docs obtained by The Blast, his lawyers write: “As the coronavirus pandemic worsened in the United States, Elizabeth and Armie elected to stay with their children temporarily in the Cayman Islands where the pandemic appeared to be under greater control. Armie returned to Los Angeles this past July, with a promise from Elizabeth that she and the children would follow shortly thereafter. To date, however, Elizabeth and the children remain in the Cayman Islands and Armie has not seen the children in several months now.”
