HIS PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIPS
Chilli
In 2001, Usher and Chilli began dating; the GRAMMY Award winners were a part of LaFace Records.
Chilli has appeared in Usher’s music videos for U Got It Bad, U Remind Me, and U Don’t Have to Call.
In December 2003, the former couple split after two years together.
According to Chilli, they called it quits because they were growing apart.
She explained to Us Weekly, “We broke up because I guess it was that time or whatever…he was that real love for me.”
“In any relationship, even when it came to my relationship with Usher, when it was time to make a move, I had to do that.”
“I don’t care how much my heart was hurting, sometimes you’re just supposed to be with people for a reason and it’s not always a lifetime.”
“Even if you want it to be, it just doesn’t work out that way.”
Tameka Foster
On August 3, 2007, Usher tied the knot with his then-girlfriend Tameka Foster.
Tameka is a fashion stylist who has worked with Ciara, Jay-Z, and Mary J. Blige.
In lieu of the Hamptons wedding they had originally planned, the couple held their nuptials in a private Georgia ceremony.
Usher and Tameka’s wedding also coincided with the pregnancy of their first child together.
“They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding,” said an insider.
A source told People, “They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing.”
“Usher changed his mind. They had a lot of differences about the details.”
The Confessions singer told the outlet, “It has already been announced that I plan to marry this year.”
“However, since my wedding day will be special to Tameka and I, this is information that we would like to keep private.”
“I am happy, excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings, decisions and I am NOT BEING LED.”
“I understand the fact that I must sacrifice some anonymity for the career I love.”
“However, some things are personal like having a child or a marriage.”
“These aspects are not for the public and, to me, are sacred. I would hope my privacy in these areas would be respected.”
On June 12, 2009, Usher filed for divorce from Tameka.
He cited that the marriage was “irretrievably broken with no reasonable hope of reconciliation.”
The former couple’s divorce was finalized on November 4, 2009.
“We’re two different people and we have two different goals,” the hitmaker revealed to the abovementioned outlet.
“It just was never going to work out 100 percent. I appreciate the relationship for what it was.”
“Even though it didn’t work out, I’m glad we got together.”
“I love her as the mother of my children, we just couldn’t be married.”
They share two sons named Usher V and Naviyd Ely.
Tameka also has three older sons named Darren, Ryan, and Kile.

In September 2015, it was announced Usher wedded his manager Grace Miguel in a secret wedding ceremony in Cuba.
“I have an incredible partner and manager,” the singer expressed to Billboard.
“She has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and my career.”
On March 6, 2018, the pair announced they were separating; they officially filed for divorce in December of the same year.
In a joint statement, they confirmed, “After much thought and consideration, we have mutually decided to separate as a couple.”
