Usher has recently opened up about what it’s like for him to be single and the affects it has had on him throughout his life.
“I don’t like to be alone. The idea of creating a life with someone is what I would like to do, maybe because I didn’t have or didn’t see that. And I get to remedy that idea by having an incredible partnership. I can then have the thing that I ultimately wanted to see. You know what I’m saying?” Usher says in his cover story for VIBE.
“Man, healing took a lot. Maybe I was suffering a lot from—just maybe not necessarily having the kind of love that I would’ve wanted as a kid. And wanting to figure out what that was all about. I didn’t have that relationship that I would’ve wanted to have with my father,” he spoke of his journey of healing.
Continuing her says: ” That the relationship that I had with my mother was slowly beginning to be under pressure. Because one, we were working together. Two, we had our differences. Three, I was getting older, but I think it was just life lessons. The therapy really did help me be able to be by myself.”
Usher had previously began dating Chilli from TLC from 2001 up until 2003. From then he had married Tameka Foster in 2007 where they later separated but had had two sons together. He went on to marry Grace Miguel in 2015, but the two had also separated in 2018. He is currently dating Jenn Goicoechea and the two have welcomed daughters in 2020 and 2021.
