#Usher To Marry Girlfriend Following Super Bowl Performance
According to records obtained by HipHopDX, the R&B legend obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on February 9, four days ago.
The Daily Mail claims that Usher made the decision to wed Goicoechea after consulting his spiritual advisor Amba Kahly Su. The newspaper said the wedding will be a small and intimate affair.
Usher was previously married to Tameka Foster between 2007 and 2009 and Grace Miguel between 2015 and 2018.
The singer and Goicoechea have been together since 2019, with the couple welcoming their first child in 2020 and their second in 2021.
Usher previously spoke about their relationship to People, where he said: “I have an amazing partner, a support system. We have an amazing dynamic between our relationship where I’m able to be passionate still about what I do and have an incredible partner to work through some of the harder times as a young man dealing with children and dealing with the dynamic of how you communicate with them.”
He also praised her abilities as a parent: “She’s better at it than me in many lights. I’m a man-man, so I’m like, ‘This is what we’re doing,’ and I might be a little bit more disciplinary at times. If there’s a slap and a hug, I’m the slap and she’s the hug. But that creates balance.”
Usher’s Super Bowl performance saw him perform a medley of his biggest hits such as “Yeah!,” “My Boo” and “Burn” while bringing out special guests such as Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Lil Jon, will.i.am and Jermaine Dupri.
The singer also recently defended R&B from claims that the genre was “dead”.
“I’m very happy that there’s a new installation of R&B artists who care to be authentic to what they are creating, inspired by artists of the past,” he said in an interview with Billboard.
“Everybody who has ever said to me that R&B is dead sounds crazy. Especially when I know the origins of R&B are in all other genres of music. It’s about creating commerce in other spaces.”
He added: “My point is, I never felt like R&B was dying. I think it just needs expansion. We’re moving toward a standard where people are looking at snippets — TikTok, Instagram and other things — and when fans get it, they take it and do something with it.
“But if we start to think of it that way and create from that place, the standards for R&B will change. You won’t be able to compare it in an old-versus-new way. It’ll just be what it is.”
