The rocker decided on his fifth marriage out of love for a former driver
A few days ago, two big stars changed their marital status. Rocker Roger Waters has announced that he is married for the fifth time, and actor Sean Penn was surprised by a divorce petition from his third wife. In the world of stars, such news is not uncommon, but nevertheless, social networks reacted with a heated discussion. Maybe because both women are far younger than their star halves, which always carries the risk of creating a lasting relationship. And when it comes to very wealthy people, the doubts become even more serious. As one network user honestly writes, I just can’t understand why they keep getting married once it’s clear what will happen.
Sean Penn’s last marriage lasted only 15 months. The 61-year-old actor married 29-year-old Leila George after a four-year relationship, which gave hope that things could last longer, as his first marriage lasted approximately as long. He was married to the singer Madonna from 1985 to 1989, and on several occasions she complained to the police about domestic violence.
His second wife, actress Robin Wright, stayed with him for 14 years, although on several occasions one of them filed for divorce and withdrew it in the name of the future of their two children. After their marriage fell apart, the actor explained that they had different ethical views on their upbringing, but this did not prevent their good relationship with them after that. “I am increasingly convinced that the relationship should be mutually beneficial, but it is not so easy to find someone to make you better day after day. If I meet such a person, I will keep him, “said Sean Penn in 2018 in one of his rare interviews about his personal life. By this time, he had already begun dating the young Australian actress Leila George, who became his third wife during the pandemic. The two are so eager to formalize their relationship that an employee performs the civil marriage ritual via video link while they are at home in the United States. But even if there were no coronavirus restrictions last year, the actor would certainly still marry away from the spotlight, as he always did. When he decides to take Madonna to the altar, they try to hide in the coastal town of Malibu, but are discovered by paparazzi. Sean is so angry with the photojournalists flying over their heads in a helicopter that he shoots into the air and writes on the sand, “Fuck you.” Then they were both at the beginning of their careers and could not afford expensive security and secure mansions – something that Roger Waters had no problem with in his last marriage, as it became clear from the photos he released from his fifth wedding. They show the 78-year-old founder of the legendary band Pink Floyd marrying 43-year-old Camilla Chavis in an intimate ceremony at his American home. It is a picturesque mansion on the ocean, which he bought for 16.2 million dollars in 2010. They are both on the pier and company makes their dog.
“I am very happy, I finally found the woman of my life,” the musician wrote under the photos he shared on Instagram from his fifth wedding. He has had a love affair with Camilla for several years. They met during his concert. She drove the car that was supposed to take her from the hotel to the stadium where she would play. “I was in one place for two weeks and there were a lot of transfers between different points. She was driving the car I was traveling in and talking to the security guard sitting next to her. Something attracted me and one day I told her: “Excuse me, did anyone tell you that you have beautiful cheekbones?”. I saw a small reaction and that was the beginning “, admits Waters in 2018.
His previous marriage to actress Lori Durning, 20 years his junior, ended in 2015. The two are dating after a 10-year relationship. When they get married in 2012, he says he couldn’t be happier because they’ve realized together for so long that they love waking up together. During the divorce, 3 years later, they got into a serious quarrel, as Laurie insisted in court to return a gold Rolex for $ 35,000. So Roger Waters saw Chavis long before he vowed allegiance to Chavis, 35 years his junior.
“People are optimistic. They love to be in love, ”said Marnie Skye, who runs a divorce agency in Toronto. According to her, those who decide on a third or subsequent marriage have usually undergone therapy or have learned on their own how to more easily cope with the divisions and move forward. They tend to look for someone to motivate them to have a better life or what’s left of it, she added. They have managed to learn from their previous family relationships, and they often follow the same line.
The first wedding is emotional and without prejudice, the second is sobering, and the third carries a verdict on how you will move forward. The reason is that you have usually already gained experience, but also a condition that you are not inclined to scatter among people who accidentally come into your life. You want to play it safe and, if possible, protect yourself from new failures. It is far more difficult to give credit to trust. This is proved by this interesting American statistic, according to which 67% of second marriages end in divorce and 73% of third ones.
“If you enter into a third marriage without a prenuptial agreement, it’s like going to a zoo, opening all the cages and releasing the animals,” said Canadian divorce lawyer Stephen Durbin, who went through two sections on his own. He advises anyone who is set to enter into a series of marriages to carefully document their relationship and be sure to sign prenuptial agreements. Only in this way will he be saved from severe divorces and great disappointments.
Tips on how not to be disappointed again
A third marriage can be fascinating if you play your cards well. In addition, after failing twice, it becomes more difficult to continue to blame the other party entirely, explains American psychiatrist Mark Holston.
Therefore, he gives some practical advice on how a person who enters a series of family relationships should behave so as not to experience more disappointments. “Whether you are interested or not, what your partner says, listen. Don’t forget to say thank you and I’m sorry. Remember that sorry gives a new chance. If you keep making the same mistake, it not only looks empty, but also annoying. Do not rush to conclusions. If you accept that you know how your partner feels and why, without understanding all the facts, it can also repel him, “explains Holston. He recommends never playing the role of a victim, as this creates guilt in the other person, which can easily escalate into a serious insult if he has not hurt you in any way.
“Talk well about your partner, even behind his back, because if you stain his image, it only adds to the list of secrets you keep from him, but it also tells others how little you respect them. Have basic rules for dealing with different opinions, such as not using words like never before, ”advises the psychiatrist, who is the author of a book on proper listening in relationships. He points out that younger partners are more likely to argue and seek solutions to all problems, while with age the belief that it is a waste of time and the desire to reach the end of life with calm.
