Indeed, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters filed for divorce from his latest wife, Kamilah Chavis, at the New York Supreme Court earlier this week, per Page Six. However, according to the outlet, the divorce papers claim the proceedings are "contested," meaning at least one issue remains unresolved before the 83-year-old bassist and singer can call it quits with his 48-year-old wife.
That said, the rock legend's current marriage outlasted his previous union. He divorced his 4th wife, actress and director Laurie Durning, in 2015 after just 3 years of marriage.
Waters gushed over his 5th wife when he went public with Chavis in October 2021, posting snapshots from their wedding ceremony in the Hamptons. According to Page Six, the British rocker wrote, "I'm so happy, finally a keeper," alongside the series of shots.
Famous last words, Roger...
Argentinian outlet Infobae reports that Waters met Chavis when she was working in transportation and driving the car that took him to one of his shows at the Coachella Festival in 2016.
"I was in the same place for two weeks, and we were being transported between the hotel and the stadium," he recalled to the outlet in 2018. "My security guard would sit with her, and they'd talk while I was in the back. I don't know, something attracted me."
"One day I said, 'Excuse me,' and she turned around. 'Did someone ever tell you that you have beautiful cheekbones?' I saw a small reaction, and that was the beginning," the rock legend added.
Roger Waters Once Waxed Poetic About "Real Love" While Courting His 5th Wife
Waters, who co-founded Pink Floyd in 1965, also waxed poetic about love elsewhere in the interview.
"Love is good, obviously. It requires maturing," Waters said at the time. "If you have real love, it will surely last a long time. Because love is about giving, not receiving."
Indeed, Waters is something of an expert on love, marriage, and divorce. Waters first married Judith Trim in 1968, divorcing her in 1975. Next, he wed Carolyne Christie from 1976 to 1992, and Priscilla Phillips from 1993 to 2001. He married Laurie Durning in 2012, and they split in 2015.
He and Christie have two children, Harry, 49, and India, 48. Waters also has a son, Jack, with Phillips.
