In the August 2013 issue of Town & Country, Chambers told the magazine that Armie Hammer said to her, “Look, we don't have to do this. We could just go our own ways, and then one day you'll be 40 and divorced and we'll run into each other, and we'll laugh and go out to dinner and have this same connection, and we'll wonder why we wasted all of that time.

Chambers even walked seven miles the day she went into labor with her daughter. Although the pregnancy went 16 days past its due date, Chambers said “I don’t know if it’s because I’m taking more supplements and more focused on nutrition (drinking green smoothies and protein shakes in place of red wine!), but I have to say, I feel best when I’m pregnant.” Chambers opted for a natural hypno-birth and labored for 18 hours. Doting father Armie Hammer was right by his wife’s side the entire time. Once she accepted her doctor’s recommendation of a walking epidural, she relaxed and gave birth to her daughter within a few hours.
