Despite spending most of the last year apart, Tameka Foster Raymond, who is Usher’s former hairdresser, still refers to him as her husband, and sources say she is both very loyal to him and willing to work it out. Of course, because Usher is rich. Another source says:

"Usher has not been staying at home with her much lately. I rarely saw Usher around even before there were any children born."

The source adds the couple fought often. It’s hard to be happy when the relationship is undermined by constant fighting.

Usher’s mother, Jonetta Patton, never approved of Tameka, even after she was pregnant. In fact, the first wedding was called off, then Usher secretly married Tameka in his lawyer’s office to make it official, with another wedding taking place in front of 200 guests that did not include Usher’s mother.

Usher officially filed for divorce in Atlanta on Friday. His mother is probably relieved. We hope they had a prenup, and most importantly, that Usher makes his best effort to be a good father. Giving his ex wife money doesn’t take the place of being there for your children.

Usher is reported to be dating Grace Miguel.

Usher married Tameka Foster in 2007, and although she already had several children, Usher had two more with her, but that’s all ending with a divorce.

In February of this year Tameka nearly died during plastic surgery in South America. Usher had rushed to her support her at the hospital, and we all wondered why he was partying in Las Vegas, and recording an album, while his wife went off to have surgery. Now we know the couple have been living separately for almost a year.

Just the other night Usher was spotted out on a date with Island Def Jam staffer Grace Miguel, and Usher wasn’t wearing his wedding ring. On Thursday the new couple were spotted by paparazzi entering the Sun set Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood.

As of today In Touch is reporting the couple have filed for divorce in Atlanta.

Usher’s mom is probably happier now, because she never liked Tameka. Hopefully Tameka signed a prenup.
