Usher has sparked rumors that he plans to marry his girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, in secret during his trip to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.
The pop star was in Sin City to headline the big game’s halftime show on Sunday night on Feb. 11. Now, it’s been revealed the singer and his partner obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on Feb. 8, with reports suggesting he wants to tie the knot following his Super Bowl performance.
A source told DailyMail.com that the “Yeah” hitmaker — real name Usher Raymond IV — decided to marry on the advice from his spiritual advisor. The nuptials will be an “intimate affair attended only by close friends and family.”
The publication also reports the couple will exchange vows at one of Las Vegas’ famous wedding chapels.
A marriage certificate has yet to be filed with the courts; the singer has yet to comment publicly on the marriage rumors.
He’s been dating Goicoechea since October 2018. They are parents to daughter Sovereign and son Sire. Usher was previously married to Tameka Foster — the mother of his sons Usher “Cinco” Raymond V and Navid Ely — from 2007 until 2009.
Prior to his Super Bowl performance, the singer opened up about his relationship, insisting the couple have an “amazing dynamic.”
“I have an amazing partner, a support system. We have an amazing dynamic between our relationship where I’m 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,” he told People.
“I’m very happy, very fortunate to have an incredible friend, not just a partner. She’s my best friend, and I love her,” he added.
