But PEOPLE has now reported that the musician, 83, is seeking divorce and filed documents regarding the same in New York Supreme Court on Tuesday, November 10.

The publication also shared that the case has been recorded as a contested divorce filing, which means there are multiple issues between the two.

The latest development came five years after in October 2021, the 83-year-old announced his marriage to Chavis.

At the time, he took to Facebook to share photos of himself and his new wife. He captioned them as “I’m so happy, finally a keeper.”

Also in May 2023, the political activist posted a video on Facebook of him and his wife, writing, “Today I am doing a concert in Munich. It will be great, I will play many of my best known songs, more than half from the Pink Floyd years, 1968 -1985. The audience will be very appreciative, we will all have a good time.”

Roger Waters shares how he met Kamilah Chavis

During a 2018 interview with the Argentinian outlet Infobae, Waters revealed he met his fifth wife at one of his concerts.

He reportedly said, “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.”

“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 co-founder of the rock band added.

In the same interview, he explained, “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.”

Roger Waters shares three children with two different wives

Waters married Chavis six years after divorcing his fourth wife, actress and director Laurie Durning, in 2015 after three years of marriage. 

Actress Priscilla Phillips was his third wife, with whom he shares a son named Jack. They were married from 1993 to 2001.

Waters’ second wife was Carolyne Christie. They were married from 1976 to 1992 and shared two children — Harry and India.

The singer’s first wife was Judith Trim.
