Roger Waters Files for Divorce from Kamilah Chavis

Roger Waters, the Pink Floyd co-founder, has filed for divorce from his wife, Kamilah Chavis, after five years of marriage. Rolling Stone reported the filing on 13 November 2026.

The papers were filed in New York Supreme Court, the trial-level court that handles divorce cases in the state. A divorce filing is the formal document that opens the legal process, putting the couple's request on the court record and starting the steps that lead to a final decision.

Waters announced his marriage to Chavis in October 2021. The filing ends a relationship that lasted about five years. For Waters, it is also his fourth marriage, because Chavis is his fourth wife.

The case is listed as "contested". In court records, that word means the two sides have not agreed on every point, and one or more terms of the split are still unresolved. Those terms could cover any part of the divorce.

Waters is best known as the bassist and principal songwriter of Pink Floyd, the British rock group behind albums such as The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. He has pursued a solo career since leaving the band, and his personal life has rarely been far from the headlines.

For now, the divorce stays open until the disputed terms are settled. Anyone following the case will need to watch the court record, because that is where each decision is formally made.
