Pink Floyd legend Roger Waters files for divorce from fifth wife just 5 years after declaring her a ‘keeper’

Pink Floyd rocker Roger Waters has filed for divorce from his fifth wife, Kamilah Chavis, just five years after the music legend proclaimed that he had finally found a “keeper.”

The legendary bassist, 83, submitted divorce papers to the New York Supreme Court on Tuesday; however, the reason for his split from the 48-year-old has not been made public.

The proceedings have been listed as “contested,” according to court records, which suggests that the former couple are yet to reach an agreement on at least one issue regarding their separation.

The music legend filed for divorce five years after declaring he had finally found a “keeper” (the former couple seen in October 2021).

Waters, who co-founded Pink Floyd in 1965, hinted that his fifth attempt at marriage would be the one to stick when he announced that he had tied the knot with Chavis in October 2021.

Taking to Facebook to share photos of their wedding ceremony in the Hamptons, he wrote in the caption, “I’m so happy, finally a keeper.”

The former couple kept their relationship out of the public eye, sharing only a few updates on social media over the years.

However, Waters previously confirmed he met Chavis when she was working in transportation while he was performing at 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 told the Argentinian publication “Infobae” 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.”

Waters continued, “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 music star also shared some of his views on love as he mused, “Love is good, obviously. It requires maturing. If you have real love, it will surely last a long time. Because love is about giving, not receiving.”

Waters, who left Pink Floyd in 1985, was previously married to Judith Trim from 1969 until 1975.

He then tied the knot with Carolyne Christie from 1976 to 1992. The pair share two children named Harry and India.

The musician was next married to Priscilla Phillips from 1993 to 2001, and the pair share one son named Jack.

Page Six exclusively revealed his split from Laurie Durning in 2015, whom he married in 2012 after they had lived together for 10 years.
