Usher Welcomes Mini-Me

E! Online, Nov 27, 2007 12:00 pm PST
Usher has ushered in a new stage in his life: Fatherhood.

The one-name wonder and his wife, Tameka Foster, welcomed a baby boy on Monday night in Atlanta, his agent confirmed to E! News.

While his rep didn't have any details about the baby's name or birth stats, the Grammy-winning entertainer previously told E! News that he planned to have his firstborn share the family moniker and be named Usher Raymond V.

This is the first child for Usher and fourth for Foster.

Usher, 29, and Foster, 37, announced the pregnancy in June.

The couple wed in a private civil ceremony on Aug. 3 and renewed their vows Sept. 1 in a blowout party in Atlanta.

They were originally scheduled to swap vows in July, but called off the event at the last minute, after Foster had an unspecified "pregnancy scare."

Speaking to People in September, Usher said, "I just want my son to fully be coherent and to be healthy, first and foremost."
