Usher and Jennifer “Jenn” Goicoechea made a stunning appearance on the red carpet at the 2026 Tony Awards, and their fans were thrilled to see them together. The couple, who tied the knot in 2024, enjoyed a glamorous evening at one of theatre’s most prestigious events, marking yet another special outing in their relationship.
Here’s a comprehensive look at Usher’s romantic journey!
Who is Jenn Goicoechea?
Usher has been romantically linked to Jennifer “Jenn” Goicoechea since 2019, according to PEOPLE. Their relationship began to attract attention when they were seen together at producer Keith Thomas‘s 40th birthday celebration that summer. Jenn, an influential figure in the music industry, describes herself in her Instagram bio as the “SVP of A&R at Epic Records.”
In 2020, Usher and Jenn’s relationship deepened with the arrival of their daughter, Sovereign Bo, born in September of that year. The following year, they welcomed their son, Sire Castrello Raymond, completing their beautiful family. Usher frequently shares moments with Jenn on social media and has praised their partnership in interviews. In a November 2023 interview with People, he expressed, “I have an amazing partner, a support system. I’m very happy, very fortunate to have an incredible friend, not just a partner. She’s my best friend and I love her.”
Just prior to his performance at the February 2024 Super Bowl, it was reported that Usher and Jenn secured a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada, marking a new chapter in their lives together.
Exploring Usher’s Marriage to Grace Harry
Before finding happiness with Jenn, Usher was married to his second wife, Grace Harry (née Miguel), in 2015. Their marriage was brief, as Usher filed for divorce in December 2018. Although the divorce was officially finalized in 2018, he noted that their separation occurred a year earlier, in December 2017.
At the time of their split, Usher and Grace issued a joint statement regarding their decision to part ways. They affirmed, “After much thought and consideration, we have mutually decided to separate as a couple. We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives.” The couple did not have any children together, and Grace later moved on to a relationship with Questlove, although that romance also ended.
Insights into Usher’s First Marriage to Tameka Foster
In his late 20s, Usher made the decision to marry for the first time. He wed Tameka Foster, now 53, in 2007, but their marriage lasted only two years, ending in 2009. Despite their romance coming to an end, they continue to share a connection through their two children. Usher and Tameka welcomed their first son, Usher “Cinco” V, in November 2007, followed by their second son, Naviyd Ely, born in December 2008.
In 2013, Usher and Tameka faced a challenging custody battle over their children. Usher was awarded custody after a court case that saw both parties making claims against each other. Tameka accused Usher of being an absent father, which he denied. After the case concluded, they reportedly shared a hug, and Usher expressed remorse, saying, “I’m sorry,” as noted by PEOPLE.
Usher reflected on his marriage to Tameka in a 2010 interview with PEOPLE, stating, “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.” In November 2023, he and Tameka reunited to celebrate their son’s 16th birthday, where Tameka shared heartfelt photos on Instagram, expressing her love for her son.
Despite their marriage ending, Usher and Tameka maintained an amicable relationship. She even attended his remarkable performance during the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, as she shared in a statement to Page Six.
“One of the perks of having Usher as an ex is going to the Super Bowl,” Tameka remarked in February 2024. “It’s facts. I’m not dating anybody that can’t take me to the Super Bowl. That would not be my trajectory. But seeing Usher performing was definitely a perk.”
