Roger Waters Files for Divorce from Fifth Wife Kamilah Chavis After Five Years of Marriage

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, 83, has filed for divorce from his wife Kamilah Chavis, 48, in New York Supreme Court. The filing was submitted on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and brings an end to Waters’ fifth marriage after five years with Chavis.

• The case is listed as a contested divorce, meaning at least one term of the split has not been agreed upon; no further filing details have been made public.
• Waters and Chavis married in October 2021 in a ceremony held at his private estate in Bridgehampton, New York.
• The two do not share any children and had been living in a townhouse in New York City during their marriage.
• Waters’ previous marriages were to Judith Trim (1968 to 1975), Carolyne Christie (1976 to 1992), Priscilla Phillips (1993 to 2001) and Laurie Durning (2012 to 2015).

How Roger Waters Announced His Marriage to Kamilah Chavis

When Waters and Chavis wed in October 2021, he shared the news himself on Facebook rather than through a formal statement. Posting photos from the day, he wrote, “I’m so happy, finally a keeper,” describing himself as “a very happy man” and referring to Chavis as “a very beautiful bride.”

How Roger Waters and Kamilah Chavis Met

The couple’s relationship traces back to around 2016, when Chavis was working in transportation and was responsible for driving Waters between his hotel and the venue during a run of concerts that included a stop at Coachella. Waters recounted the encounter in a 2018 interview with the Argentinian outlet Infobae, saying, “I was in the same place for two weeks and we were being transported between the hotel and the stadium. My security guard would sit with her and they’d talk while I was in the back. I don’t know, something attracted me.”

He described making the first move, recalling, “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.”

Roger Waters’ Family From Previous Marriages

Waters has two children, Harry and India, from his marriage to Carolyne Christie, and a son, Jack, from his marriage to Priscilla Phillips. He co-founded Pink Floyd in 1965 alongside Syd Barrett, Nick Mason and Richard Wright.

Roger Waters’ Upcoming Tour With Son Harry

Separate from the divorce filing, Waters and his son Harry have announced a tribute tour called “Legacy: A Pink Floyd Show,” set to run throughout 2027.
