I've wondered for a while what happened to Amos after the events in Chicago- Do you think he divorced Roxie? Did they get back together? Or did he just live all alone after that?

I'm sure he found a nice lady who appreciated him. Maybe that nice Mary Sunshine.

He definitely divorced Roxie, at least in the movie version, because at the end she's desperately searching for work and doesn't even have a room with a toilet. I would think that once he found out she lied to him about being pregnant, he was finally smart enough to see that her for what she was and bailed. You do hope that he eventually found some nice woman who appreciated him.

SHE divorced him. He'd still be willing to try to save it. As much as we love Amos, he's the person we abandon, too.
What this musical shows us? When people show you who they are, believe them. People don't/can't/seldom change.

We all know he hooks up with the little-known widow of Fred Casely and has a booze-filled summer romp, before her father, the even-lesser-known owner of the furniture store that once employed his unfortunately-deceased son-in-law threatens to disinherit unless the relationship is ended, so she abandons her plans to become the next Mrs Cellophane and dumps Amos like a hot potato. Or, was it that he becomes a podiatrist and lives merrily-ever-after with his boyfriend Irving in Scarsdale where they collect vintage wool bowler hats and raise two pugs named Fred and Ginger.
It’s one of those two. I can’t remember. I read it on Wikipedia.

After decades of desperate loneliness and invisibility, he found true love in a long-term polyamorous relationship with Lazar Wolf and the Baroness Elsa Schraeder.

Beulah Annan, the inspiration for the original play, divorced and remarried. Then divorced her new husband 3 months later.

This article claims that in 1934 Albert Annan, the inspiration for Amos, murdered his new common-law wife. I haven't found other sources to verify this claim yet.

In the 1942 film "Roxie Hart" he and Roxie divorce. Roxie (Ginger Rogers) is seen at the end married to the court reporter and unhappily caring for a bunch of screaming kids.

I think he’d eventually move on and find someone, maybe a widow or divorcee.

He started sleeping with the carburetor.

I'm sure there's plenty of fan fic out there.

It's like the question of "What happens to Mama Rose after Gypsy?" Well, historically, something, something, then "lesbian axe murderer."

Roxie divorced him and ironically he died in the great movie fire of 1935. He was sitting in the first row and nobody yelled fire in the second row so he was trapped.

Some other Roxie type who desperate for a place to live seduces him.
