Usher and wife Jennifer Goicoecheaâs Las Vegas elopement was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
âThey didnât spend months planning it, but it came together beautifully nevertheless,â a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. âUsher says Jennâs the best partner he could ever hope for so he figured why not do it in Vegas?â
The insider also notes that Usher, 45, knows that Goicoechea, 40, âalways has his backâ which is comforting to the singer.
The couple officially exchanged vows after five years of dating following Usherâs performance in his star-studded Super Bowl LVIII halftime show on February 11.
âWe can confirm Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea took the next step in their relationship and did get married on Sunday night in Las Vegas surrounded by close friends and family,â a rep for the R&B singer told Us a few days after the game. âThey both look forward to continuing to raise their children together surrounded by love and thank everyone for the well wishes.â
One day before the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers took the field, Us confirmed that Usher and Goicoechea obtained a marriage license. In November 2023, Usher opened up about the coupleâs special connection.
âI have an amazing partner, a support system,â he told People. âWe have any [sic] amazing dynamic between our relationship where Iâm able to be passionate still about what I do and have an incredible partner to work through some of the harder times as a young man dealing with children and dealing with the dynamic of how you communicate with them.â

Usher and Goicoechea were first linked in 2016 but didnât confirm their romance until three years later. In September 2020, the twosome welcomed their first child together, daughter Sovereign. They expanded their family with son Sire in October 2021. (Usher also shares sons Cinco and Naviyd with ex-wife Tameka Foster.)
The Grammy winner exclusively opened up to Us in February 2023 about how he tries to prioritize his family life with his busy schedule.
âThe biggest challenge, period, is balance. Trying to make enough time for it all and still have enough for yourself,â he explained. âBecause you donât have personal balance and you canât balance it out for them.â
Usher shared that while work is important for him, he always wants to make sure heâs present for his familyâs special moments too.
âI really want to be at every recital, [I] wanna be at every basketball game. I want to be at every step,â he noted. âAnd God willing, Iâm able to instill very incredible valuable things, lessons thatâll help assist them when Iâm not around, believe it or not, thatâs when it actually applies. And it matters more than anything.â
