Usher Says He's "In A Good Space" About His Divorce

Posted Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:01pm PDT by Andy Pemberton in Musictoob

Father-of-two Usher has spoken out about his impending divorce.

The singer, who recently split with his wife Tameka Foster Raymond, 38, told Entertainment Tonight he was in a "good space" about their split.

He thanked his "great team" for keeping his divorce on track.

"Having an incredible team makes it very easy, or easier than it would normally be attempting to do it myself," said the 30-year-old. 

He also said that he is trying his best to remain a good father to his two sons--Usher Raymond V, who is 18 months old, and Naviyd, who is six months.

"I try to get [my work] done and get home on the weekends if possible...but when I'm with my boys it's just all about them."

Usher is splitting with his wife four months after she suffered a heart attack while undergoing a liposuction procedure in Brazil. She elected to have cosmetic surgery two months after giving birth to her youngest son. 

Usher was recently seen out with Def Jam employee Grace Miguel.

I think that is so sad, mostly because his leaving her not to long after her heart attack. I don't think Usher is ready to be a husband I think he still wants to be a playboy, I know that I really don't know the reason for the break-up be it's still sad.

as long as he's happy& his kids are happy.

I don't think it's F_ _ked up at all that he wants a divorce, he probably wanted on prior to her heart attack. I think when you go into a situation with bad vibes then most likely it wasn't the smartest thing to do, always listen to the warning signs and I believe this situation had warning signs from the get go. I hope Tameka and Usher get their lives together and stay mutal friends for the kids, that's what's important and that's being an adult.

The reason Usher is leaving her and why he cant maintain a realtionship with any other women is because he is gay and Temeka aint man enough for him.Duh

"Usher is splitting with his wife four months after she suffered a heart attack while undergoing a liposuction procedure in Brazil."

Man, what would prompt a dude to leave his wife, four months after experiencing something like this?

IF HIS WIFE SUFFERED A HEART ATTACK USHER SHOULD'VE BEEN A DIFFERENT MAN HE DID MUSIC
SINCE 2004 AND HE WENT WITH ALICIA KEYS TO BE HIS
LADY BUT I DIDN`T REALIZE HE HAD A WIFE HE SHOULD'VE BEEN A REAL,UNDERSTANDABLE,RESPONSIBLE MAN EXCEPT
A DUMB FOOL

I THINK IT IS A GOOD THING THAT USHER HAS FINALLY COME TOO HIS SENSES AND IS FINALLY GETTIN A DIVORCE FROM HIS ESSTRANGED WIFE.SHE HAS ALREADY KILLED ONE HUSBAND USHER DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE DEAD HUSBAND/BABIES DADDY #2. SO TOO ALL WHO THINKS HE'S WRONG OH WELL. TRUE ENOUGH HE DIDN'T GIVE HER TIME TO RECOVER FROM HAVING A HEARTATTACK BUT ALLS WELL ENDS WELL, I THINK SHE KNEW HE WAS GONNA DIVORCE HER. I THINK HE'LL STILL BE A GOOD FATHER TO HIS CHILDREN WHICH IS ALL SHE CAN ASK FOR .

Usher should never have married a 38 year old lady with grown ass children anyway. She manipulated that man now she set for life bcuz of him and those two kids.

everybody makes mistakes and nobody but usher and his wife know what goes on behind closed doors and we dont have to throw bricks at anybody for making mistakes because of whom we choose to love or marry.......... so if anybody out there has never made a wrong choice about anything pick up the brick and start throwing............................

young man when you told that young lady to marry you was looking at all the thing she wanted in life to please you are was you just triping off that boby. Because that woman have some of your for the rest of your life and that you 9 digites and you can not take that away unless they are not here anymore. I tell my son that all the time evening if it take me to call him in school.

16. Limmie -
I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just trying to understand all young people lives. They really don't think before they do. So ask yourself if this is what you really wanted for your kids to see their parents going back, and forward from house to house. then there goes the big queston when they get older asking what,why,how and most important thing what about us the kids. and when they go out, how would they act or say to ohter, so please think about what your asking for. just love her for how she is and not what she look like.The lord will always love her the way she is, even her kids they will ask her questoins about why she did it. and it will be hard. But you should keep those dreams alive for her and you, no matter what happen. Just think you will be getting old with body parts not the same and you can,t change what the lord have for you.So just pray for her and let her know that she will always be beautiful to you.Because when you do leave her she is not going to face another person, but god.

He did not know she was having cosmetic surgery in Brazil. He was not in town & was surprised & mad when he found out she did this behind his back. I'm sure she felt pressure to be small & look younger since he is younger than her. I feel for both of them. The end of a marriage is sad for anyone. But if he was seeing someone else before it was over, honey there ain't no place u can hide. Doesn't anyone listen to these vows they are saying before God? They make it too easy to get out of a marriage. If it was harder to leave, people would think twice before they married or before they left.

Young man the next time your mother tells you something , listen to her. MaMa Raymond knows what she saw and knew from years of being in the business how a woman with a plan looked like. It's ok to date an older woman, but the next time think with the head on your shoulders and not in your pants.

Says the person who can't even spell. Go back to school before you want to insult people. It takes a fool to know one. And blogs should really outlaw retarded people who type in all CAPS.

Usher will do just fine, I hated how he and Tameka came to be, but it's his life and he'll continue to do so after the divorce.
