Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters is headed for divorce court — again. The 83-year-old rock legend has filed for divorce from his fifth wife, Kamilah Chavis, 48, in New York Supreme Court, just five years after telling the world he had finally found a “keeper.”

Page Six reports that Waters submitted the divorce papers on Tuesday, and court records list the proceedings as “contested” — meaning the couple has yet to agree on at least one issue. No reason for the split has been made public.

It is a stunning turn for a marriage that began with so much optimism. Waters married Chavis in October 2021, sharing photos from their Hamptons wedding ceremony on Facebook and declaring that he had finally found a “keeper.” Five years later, that chapter is closing — and, for now, the “why” is staying private.

For Toledo’s classic-rock crowd, the news lands with a familiar sting. Waters is not just a rock star here — he is the voice behind “Another Brick in the Wall,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Comfortably Numb,” the soundtrack to countless drives down I-75, late nights at the Huntington Center and vinyl nights in living rooms across northwest Ohio. Even as Pink Floyd’s legacy keeps growing — including the 50th-anniversary reissue of Animals, featuring a never-heard Roger Waters song — the man behind the music is making headlines for his personal life, not his catalog.

Waters, who co-founded Pink Floyd in 1965 and left the band in 1985, has been married five times. His previous marriage, to Laurie Durning, ended in 2015. Chavis, whom Waters has said he met while she was working in transportation during one of his tours, largely stayed out of the spotlight during their marriage, with the couple sharing only occasional updates on social media.

For now, fans are left with the same question that follows every high-profile split: what happened? Until Waters or Chavis speaks out — or the court filings say more — the answer is anybody’s guess. What is certain is that the “keeper” era is over, and one of rock’s most outspoken legends is single again at 83. Toledo, as always, will be watching — and probably spinning The Wall a little louder tonight.
