Usher Raymond and Grace Miguel in Panama

R&B crooner Usher Raymond and his longtime girlfriend, industry veteran Grace Miguel, are ready to tie the knot. The two have dated steadily since 2009. Friends say Grace rescued Usher from an unhappy 2-year marriage to former celebrity stylist Tameka Raymond.

In an interview with Extra TV, Usher said:

“I’ve been even more excited about the idea of it. It could be the fact that I’ve spent the last year at everybody’s damn wedding, like I’ve become damn near the wedding singer, know what I mean?”

Usher said he hopes Tameka will drop his last name if he ever married again.

As you know, Love is a lifetime commitment to someone or something. Usher and Grace have supported each other’s careers over the years, and they now believe it is time stop living in sin.

But Usher’s hesitation to jump the broom may be due to his past rocky marriage to his former stylist, Tameka, who took advantage of his immature youth to woo him away from singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.

Usher and Tameka’s tumultuous union resulted in 2 sons — Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely Raymond. An Atlanta judge granted Usher full custody of his sons, while Tameka was given supervised visitations.
