Usher‘s ex-wife Tameka Foster revealed she was surprised by his wedding to Jennifer Goicoechea, because she thought the pair were already married.
The fashion stylist, 53, spoke about the U Got It Bad singer’s, 45, Vegas wedding to his longtime girlfriend, 39, in a new interview with TMZ.
When asked about the nuptials, she shared: ‘I thought he’d been married. I don’t know. I stopped keeping up with that type of thing.’
‘That’s like his second… third… I don’t know. I don’t even keep up with his personal,’ she added.
Tameka stressed that what matters to her is that he is a good father to their two teenage sons, Usher ‘Cinco’ Raymond V, 16, and Navid Ely, 15.
