Usher is settling into married life as he enjoyed a date night with his new wife Jennifer Raymond, née Goicoechea. The couple attended the Apollo Spring Benefit 2024, where the singer was honored with the icon award.
As he picked up the well-deserved award, he was sure to give his wife, who he married in February 2024, a shout out onstage.

Together, Usher and Jennifer shares two children, daughter Sovereign Bo, three, and Sire Castrello, two. Jennifer is also step-mom to Usher's two sons, Usher "Cinco" Raymond V, 16, and Naviyd Ely, 15, from his marriage to Tameka Foster.

Jennifer, the Senior Vice President of A&R at Epic Records, a label owned by Sony Music Entertainment, has known Usher for years as she posted a photo with him back in 2016, yet they were first linked in 2019.
