Usher Calls His New Wife a 'Wonderful Woman'

Usher finally opened up — albeit just a little — about his newlywed bliss.

The singer spoke for the first time about his secret nuptials to girlfriend and manager Grace Miguel on Friday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Back in September, an Instagram post of Usher wearing what looked like a wedding band prompted reports that he and his love of six years had swapped vows before honeymooning in Cuba over Labor Day weekend.

However, as Usher explained, that wasn’t exactly how it went down.

DeGeneres asked, “Did you get married here and then go to Cuba for your Honeymoon, or… ?”

“No, we were in Cuba,” Usher, 37, said. “You know what’s funny? We put this picture up, and we were actually just in Cuba on a cultural exchange and people were like, ‘Hey, they got married.’ Ya know the ring is on the other finger, you guys. But we had a great time. Wonderful woman, Grace Raymond."

Still, the Grammy winner confirmed that his second wedding took place during the same trip to the Caribbean island. (He was married to stylist Tameka Foster, with whom he shares two young sons, from 2007 to 2009.)

The typically private Usher will probably never share all the details, but this latest interview is all the proof we need that he’s got it bad.
