Waters first met Chavis at one of his concerts, who was working in transportation at the time and drove the car that shuttled him between his hotel the show. In a 2018 interview with the Argentinian outlet Infobae, he said, “My bodyguard would sit in the front with her, and they’d talk, while I stayed in the back. I don’t know, something about her attracted me.” He added, “One day I said to her, ‘Excuse me,’ and she turned around. ‘Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful cheekbones?’ I asked. I saw a small reaction, and that was the beginning.” Music Music News More News Go to PMC.com Most Popular You might also like
