Roger Waters and Kamilah Chavis are going their separate ways.
The former Pink Floyd bassist, 83, filed for divorce from his wife, 48, in New York Supreme Court Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to records obtained by USA TODAY. The case is listed as "contested," which is when one spouse does not agree with one or more major terms of the divorce, but additional details of the filing are not public.
The former couple tied the knot in October 2021, marking Waters' fifth marriage. He announced the news in a Facebook post at the time, sharing photos from their wedding day.
"I’m so happy, finally a keeper," he wrote in the caption. Alongside solo shots of the two, he called himself "a very happy man" and Chavis "a very beautiful bride."
Who were Roger Waters' five wives?
Waters was previously
married to Judith Trim from 1968 to 1975 followed by Carolyne Christie – with whom he shares son Harry and daughter India – from 1976 to 1992. In 1993, he wed Priscilla Phillips and welcomed son Jack before their split in 2001. He said "I do" to his fourth wife, actress Laurie Durning, in 2012, and they divorced in 2015.
In a 2018 interview with Argentinian outlet Infobae, Waters, who co-founded legendary rock band Pink Floyd in 1965, spoke about the role love has played in his life.
“Love is good, obviously. It requires maturing,” he explained. “If you have real love, it will surely last a long time. Because love is about giving, not receiving.”
He also opened up about his relationship with Chavis, revealing they had been together "for a couple of years" after meeting at one of his concerts.
"She worked in transportation – she drove the car that took me around," Waters recalled. "I was in the same place for two weeks, and there were a lot of transfers between the hotel and the stadium. My security guard would sit up front with her, and they would talk while I was in the back. I don’t know, something attracted me."
He added, "One day I said, 'Excuse me,' and she turned around. "Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful cheekbones?" I said. I saw a small reaction, and that was the beginning."
