Usher may have taken a new wife along with his longtime girlfriend.
As sports fans and music fans know at this point, Usher performed at halftime of Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, February 11th.
The veteran musician was expected to sing, dance and gyrate on stage, but no one heard that he made it!
Usher has a girlfriend. A girlfriend he was very serious about and everyone was sure she would be his next wife.
According to a new report, that's exactly what happened just days before the big game.
The singer and his longtime partner, Jennifer Goicocia, reportedly obtained a marriage license on February 8, according to court records obtained by . TMZ.
Now, since the marriage certificate hasn't been submitted yet, it's likely not official yet.
But would a wedding after halftime have been okay?
Who is his girlfriend Jenn Goicoechea?
Usher and Jenn Goicoechea have actually been together for four years at this point.
They welcomed their first child, daughter Sovereign Bo, in 2020, and are also parents to a son named Sire Castrello, who was born in 2021.
(Usher also shares two sons, Usher V and Naviyd Ely, with his ex-wife Tameka Foster. More on that later.)
Goikoechea has largely avoided the spotlight, rarely posing with her handsome boyfriend on the red carpets of various premieres and special events.
So who is Jenn Goicoechea?
A well-known and respected music executive behind the scenes in the music industry, Goicoechea was born and raised in Miami.
She majored in recording arts at Full Sail University in Winter Park and learned much from her mother, who previously worked as director of operations at ACT Productions, a Miami-based event and multimedia production company.
Goicoechea eventually used this connection to take on the role of Ciara's assistant.
Goicoechea has served as director of rhythm and soul at ASCAP since January 2014, according to LinkedIn.
After leaving ASCAP, Goicoechea became Senior Vice President of A&R at Epic Records, a label owned by Sony Music Entertainment.
She often promotes Epic artists on her Instagram, including 21 Lil Harold, DDG, 21 Savage, Beam, and more.
Jenn and Usher's relationship to date
Goicoechea first shared photos of herself and Usher online in 2016, but the two were spotted kissing in 2019, and that's when their relationship appears to have begun in earnest.
As mentioned above, it was revealed in September of last year that Usher would be headlining the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, and Goicochea shared a video of the superstar's announcement on her Instagram, along with the following: I left the same message.
Vegas 2024!
In fact, it is here that the public will next see Usher and his slammin' body.
If you can look away, look for Jenn Goicoechea somewhere in the crowd, screaming her face out. Imagine this lucky lady being there.
Usher's Wife: A Reexamination of His Two Previous Marriages
Before Jenn, there were two other women in Usher's life. He actually married two women.
Usher first married Tameka Foster just before he turned 30.
The two got married in 2007 and remained married for two years. But their romance wasn't meant to be, as they threw in the towel in 2009.
However, they maintain a friendly relationship to this day thanks to their two sons, Usher “Cinco” V, born in November 2007, and their second son, Naviyd Ely, born in December 2008.
Usher also married another beauty before Jen.
Usher married his second wife, Grace Harry (née Miguel), in 2015, about four years before meeting Jenn.
Their marriage was short-lived as he and Grace officially filed for divorce in December 2018. Although Usher announced that they were legally divorced in 2018, he dated their breakup as December 2017.
