Roger has initiated legal proceedings to end his marriage to Kamilah Chavis, marking the fifth divorce for the 83-year-old Pink Floyd co-founder after five years of marriage, according to People.
- Waters filed a contested divorce petition against Chavis on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at the Supreme Court of New York, as reported by People.
- Waters was 78 years old at the time of the wedding, while Chavis is 48 years old.
- The court documents do not explain why the couple are separating, and the divorce is not yet concluded.
The relationship between Waters and Chavis began in 2016 when Chavis worked in the transportation area, driving the vehicle that transferred Waters between his hotel and the venue during his performance at the Coachella festival. Waters recalled that he stayed in the same place for two weeks while being driven between the hotel and the stadium.
“Un día le dije: ‘Disculpe’, y ella se giró. ‘¿Alguna vez te han dicho que tienes unos pómulos preciosos?’. Vi una leve reacción, y ahí empezó todo,” Waters told Infobae, as cited by REFORMA.
He also reflected on his view of love, stating that it is good and requires maturity, and adding, “El amor es bueno, obviamente. Requiere madurez. Si tienes un amor verdadero, seguramente durará mucho tiempo. Porque el amor consiste en dar, no en recibir,” while also confessing that he felt Kamilah was his real love.
In October 2021, Waters announced his fifth marriage by sharing photographs on Facebook of a ceremony held at his property in Bridgehampton, New York, where the couple were pictured cutting a cake in a kitchen and posing on a bridge alongside their dog, Sweet Georgia Brown.
“Estoy muy feliz; por fin he encontrado a la persona ideal,” he wrote in the post, while another post featured the message, “Estoy muy feliz, por fin alguien que se queda.”
In 2023, Roger commented on Facebook that his wife and he had visited the Friedhof am Perlacher Forst cemetery in Munich, where Sophie and Hans Scholl and Christoph Probst are buried, noting they are three of the seven members of the White Rose movement who were executed by the Nazis in Munich in 1943, and writing that they deposited white roses on the graves.
Throughout his life, Waters has been married four times prior to his union with Chavis. His first marriage was to Judith Trim, ending in divorce in 1975, with reports indicating she was his great youthful love before constant infidelities by Waters led to their separation.
His marriage to Priscilla Phillips lasted from 1993 to 2001, producing a son named Jack. In January 2012, Waters married actress and director Laurie Durning in an intimate ceremony, and the couple had a stable marriage for three years before suffering a strong crisis and breaking their ties in 2015 not quietly.
