Roger Waters, the former Pink Floyd bassist, has reportedly filed for divorce from his fifth wife, Kamilah Chavis, according to court records cited by several outlets. The reports say the divorce filing is in New York Supreme Court and that the case is listed as “contested,” indicating at least one part of the separation has not been agreed.
The filings come about five years after Waters went public with the marriage. He announced he had wed Chavis in October 2021 and posted photos online, describing himself as “finally a keeper” and “a very happy man.” Across the coverage, outlets also revisit how Waters met Chavis: she is described as having worked as a driver/transport for him during his 2016 appearance at Coachella, with accounts that she transported him between his hotel and the concert venue.
While the outlets largely align on the basic timeline—meeting at Coachella in 2016, marriage in October 2021, and the divorce filing years later—each story emphasizes different elements such as the court listing details, the earlier “keeper” remark, or the circumstances of their meeting. One outlet notes the split’s reason has not been made public.
