Usher Honors His ‘Best Friend’ and Wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, During Acceptance Speech at New York Benefit

Usher and Jennifer share two children: a daughter, Sovereign Bo, who is 3 years old, and a son, Sire Castrello, who is 2. Usher also has two older sons, Usher “Cinco” Raymond V, 16, and Naviyd Ely, 15, with his ex-wife, Tameka Foster. Jennifer is Usher’s third wife. Before marrying Jennifer, Usher was married to Grace Miguel from 2015 to 2018.

Before meeting Jennifer, Usher dated TLC member Rozanda “Chilli” Thomas. In a February interview with People, he disclosed that Chilli once declined his marriage proposal.

“I wanted to marry her. I proposed and she told me no. I went through a great deal of pain after that, not trusting women or wanting to open up,” he said at the time, adding that he’s no longer “hurt” by Thomas’ decision. “We’ve since become cool with each other, celebrate each other and it’s always light when we see each other.”
