Usher Raymond and his long-suffering wife, Grace Miguel have split after 2 years of marriage. The former power couple announced their pending divorce in a statement released on Tuesday.
“After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple,” Usher, 36, and Miguel, 48, said in a joint statement to Us Weekly. “We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives. The enormous amount of love and respect that we have for each other will only increase as we move forward.”
Cynics on social media are saying this breakup is yet another publicity stunt. They say Usher put his California home on the market, but there are no moving trucks so far.
Usher was sued by an Atlanta area jazz singer, Laura Helm, who claimed he infected her with the herpes virus. She later dropped the lawsuit.
Sorry to hear . . . . they seemed like an odd couple from the onset. Honestly, I think Usher needs to deal with Mommy/Daddy issues. He keeps dating “mom” type ladies. This is not an insult to the ladies. Lots of men find comfort in women who are directive and wise. He needs to be alone for a while, now that he’s grown up. He seems to have been attached to his mom, then weaned himself from her, married Tameka divorced her and jumped in with this wife. FOLKS, being alone is fabulous. You learn so much and see so clearly. Nobody needs to be defined by their relationship. Try some self-evaluation. It works. Then re-emerge like the bomb you are, a greater, more healed version of yourself.
nothing but the truth…Ruth lol
Surprised it didn’t happen sooner. Who wants a cheating diesease contracting husband?
Definitely saw this coming
I seen this coming a while now..i was rooting for them..but she seems much to mature for usher
I agree I really started to better myself when I found myself single. I had been getting a lot of validation from significant others.
Does this confirm he has herpes? He probably told Grace the bumps were from shaving smh
I wouldn’t be surprised if they have been separated for a while over those bumps.
Usher(Whom i attended his album listening party)is VERY mature for his age. Which is why he may prefer older women.
#TEAMUSHER
A woman will only take so much…especially a woman of a certain age who can support herself and isn’t linked by children. I have a newfound respect for her. He’s a disgusting cheat who caught by the big H and the world knows! Let that burn!
lol
Just don’t think he is the marrying type at all. They were definitely an odd couple too.
Some things are unforgivable, she tried… I would’ve been gone because I already know how I would’ve acted in response to the cheating
He probably likes someone being there on a regular basis but isn’t for real commitment…. Like so many others
“mature for your age” is helpful but meaningless when it comes to emotional maturity. When we have issues that are deep seated they continue to play themselves out until we deal with them. And, again, I don’t know him and none of us are in his head. It just seems so. I could be totally wrong.
Yeah …. She damn near 50
Exactly, let that burn b*tch. I can’t even look at Usher the same. All I see is burning up nuts and I used to LOVE Usher.
Goddammit when the fck are u gonna just tell us who you are lol!!!
Good for Ms. Bonita Applebaum. Said earlier she taking her Valtrex scrip, coins, her non-disclosure agreement, and is going adios
Not saying Yeah! to divorce. When I think of Usher, I think of this…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxBSyx85Kp8
Well she came is as a groupie and is being kicked out by groupies. She knew his lifestyle beforehand and choose to ignore it so she can be Mrs Raymond…you get what you’re paid for
Watch out retirement home ladies, Usher HSV is on the prowl!! And he likes aged meat!
She stayed waaaay longer than I thought she would
Me to…… I wonder is Usher really the married type? He doesn’t seem like it.
He can’t keep his junk in his pants so he doesn’t need to be married.
Don’t know why it seemed so much longer than just 2 years…
Grace don’t look like she would stick around either
Seemed like an eternity!
I’ll bet she felt the same way!
I hope his sick pee pee… didn’t make her have a sick EVERYTHING!
Maybe the prenup had an incentive clause.
rofl… You are so wrong… yet so right.
I wonder how long it will take Usher to get married again. I get the feeling he likes being a husband — maybe not a faithful husband but I don’t see him being single for too long…
So Ersher and his grandmother have separated, huh? Who didn’t see this one coming? I guess grandma got tired of the menses he was messing with and I guess she got tired of “letting it burn”. Sick ninja out chere passing out herpes like free food stamps and shit.
?? They have to remain anonymous to keep the tea fresh.
THIS! I juuuuust opened the eyes of a girlfriend of mine the other day after I brought it to her attention that she’s never experienced being by herself. She jumps from one relationship to the next. And she doesn’t know herself because she’s never not been in a relationship. Her relationships always overlap. She literally just signed divorce papers last Friday and has been in relationships since their separation. She claims she’s going to end things with her current guy because she wants to experience being by herself.
I’ve always enjoyed my downtime between relationships. That single time has always taught me so much about myself.
This is when Usher was the shit! I cannot hear that song and not dance. Yeah yeah yeah…yeah…yeah??
I have never liked him for some reason. He just looks like a douche.
I think when the story came out last year that he was living in Robert DeNiro’s hotel in New York, it was clear they were probably already separated at that time and that’s been at least a year now. That year gives him time to sell some stuff and pony up some money for her.
It was inevitable! No marriage/relationship survives on “love” alone. When trust is gone, the relationship foundation begins to crumble. She stayed waaaaay to long! Next he might come home with something more deadlier.
Grace’s country ass was Tameka Foster’s friend, and I think bridesmaid. I do not feel sorry for her. Apparently she’s an old school pass around. Tameka couldn’t catch a break when it’s obvious she has severe mental issues and she lost a child. This woman is just a disloyal hoochie. She got what she deserves. Usher is about to go younger. Watch.
I’m sure she knew all about Usher. She’s just embarrassed now that the world knows.
Grandma Grace is now damaged goods. Only a man or a woman (whatever her flavor is) who already has the herpes slurpees and the Bangkok bumps would sex her. Everybody else gonna take a pass.
I was JUST gonna say something about nursing homes!! GMTA
You are right on so many levels. I know a few people who seem “mature” for their age because of their success, lifestyle (not the partying, purple haired types), and/or how they speak and carry themselves. But if you really know them, they are emotionally immature and have a broken inner child that needs to be healed. They’re still a child on so many levels. That would explain Usher attaching himself to older women and I also remember a video where he sprayed a woman with a water gun. Immature! Lol.
He needs to be real with himself and stop marrying these women to prove his love. Usher, you know damn well you ain’t done hoe’in. You won’t be ready to settle down for real for real until your mid 50’s. Have fun until then w your fine ass!
???
???
Word!!
I used to be the biggest Usher fan in the world. I have friends that are servers. He and Grace always come in that restaurant. They say he’s rude, refuses to speak to the servers, only speaks thru his wife, and he doesn’t tip. He lost a fan in me.
OT: Michele Obama and parker (boy I miss Mrs. obama): http://people.com/politics/michelle-obama-dance-party-little-girl-portrait/
No she wasn’t…but imma let u finish
I liked them together. I mean I liked her. Meh to him…
?? and IS!
I started traveling after a bad relationship… best decision ever… after being single I learned that I allowed myself to be way too available… so if I’m not working I’ll rather be having fun even it’s solo dolo!!!
I’m convinced she had a facelift…..
Well Usher is damaged goods too then. Not just her.
He always liked those older mother types!!! Not surprised, isn’t he and JD dropping an album–maybe a publicity stunt? Like the herpes incident…
They only been married for 2 years; they were together waaayyyyy before that.
Oh, he definitely is.
Serial monogamy
I’m afraid the next woman will not be a woman of color since he can’t stay with a black one! #YesISaidIt
That’s a Libra for ya. They don’t leave one relationship without first securing another.
No I was done, but you can say what really happened.
Really? He’s doseased, also what’s wrong with interracial dating?
They can have him…. They’ll probably meet on a herpes website
She just joined the ranks of Cookie Johnson. Ain’t nobody coming NEAR that pwussy.
THIS been going on they been separated
Here we go! NOTHING IVE DONE IT MYSELF!
…..who didn’t see this coming ?
Clarification: Ms. Helm’s new attorney filed to dismiss the case ” without prejudice,” and with “Intent to Refile.” So they can still refile against him at any time.

Lies you tell…
I guess this is true…?
Bless her heart, such a short marriage too. She seemed like a lovely woman.
DEAD
Usher still aint sold his MTV cribs manse. I’m now wondering what’s wrong with it. Word of advice Usher – drop the price about $200k more.
ha you went older!
she got tired of busting them bumps i guess
Exactly! He’s been staying at a boutique hotel in NY, for over a year.

Maya happened. Not Grace
Shol’ did, lol
There are grown ass women and men out chere right now doing high school cheer-leading cheers (splits and all) because of this break-up.
I wrote a cheer just for them because I’m being petty WAP. Why? No reason. Just because it’s Tuesday night, I reckon and I’m getting ready to go to bed.
Here’s the cheer. You have to sing it in your head in the cheer-leading cheering voice.
Ooh Usher you so fine, can’t wait for you to give me slime. Hey, Usher.
Ooh Usher you were spurned now you have to let it burn. Hey, Usher.
Ooh Usher you learned today that you are gonna have to pay. Hey, Usher.
Don’t say it!. I’m putting on my jammy jams right now and going to bed. LOL.
Hmmm I don’t feel sorry for she was glad to stepmom to usher kids why Tameka mourn the lost of her son. Then the following week or couple days Tameka he’s in court for the two boys.
A woman can only deal with an habitual cheater for so long
I love me some usher though. Lessons for the lover I guess
Not so I’m a Libra
They are divorcing discussing the Burning Bush from the Bible.

Ask Debbie Thomas how it is with her and her white man. Dayum shame world class skater and doctor got with a white man living in a roach infested trailer park as pets, with a creek in the back for a stream. A white man might date/marry black but he is still gonna enjoy his white privileges. What you want a cookie/certificate or something for dating out of your race. I will be looking for you on the ID Channel real soon.
Did you check for lice when it was over and do white people really smell lice horses when wet. Inquiring minds wanna know.
Always blame the woman while the men live their lives all willy nilly. That is how Steve Harvey got to be a rich man being a serial marrier. Women kill me talking bout 3 times a charm as if their man is test driving them for wife #3 when they are #2 they dayum self. Yet gives Halle all kinds of hell for her 3 marriages saying she can’t keep a man when Steve can’t keep a wife. Thank you.
Do black people smell like chicken and grits?! You need to get around more, you’re feeding into stereotypes. Besides their other races besides white. I’m pray for you and you come from the same place as Martin Luther King. So sad I’m glad I wasn’t raised to be closed minded.
Chile Usher likes that new puzzy smell. He gets new wives like men buy new cars. They think about fanaticize about it. Make plans to get it. Bring it home they all excited wanna be up in it all the time. Can’t et enough of it Find every opportunity to ride around in it all day and show it off to everybody.Then one day he comes home and that new car in the driveway and it looks like an ole car, so he goes and get a new car again. So he gets excited all over again with the new car smell. Women are taught when a man chase you he stays. Which is a lie they can chase you down, wear you down marry you and still stray.
Guess they are letting it burn…cause they are not happy, and the feeling is not the same and the party is not jumping like it used to. And they know that it’s over…and know they have to let it go…
Debbie Thomas was crazy before the white man, he just triggered it more. Besides you are stupid. Even though I was raised around just black folks but my mother made sure we were around other ethnic people to.
They’re black privilege also, Jack and Jill, bougie knee grow clubs just for the upper class black folks.
Maybe he does have herpes.
Why do women think because they get a different color dyck that has been colored with a magic marker they are special. When the light goes out all dycks still black. Here is your certificate

Why she got to be “LONG SUFFERING” ? SHE PROBABLY LONG HAPPY AS A MUFUGGA!
Tameka is somewhere sipping wine and reminiscing…
You call me special girl! Give me your address so I can send you your bitter cup to drink out of.
Damn Usher lol…. He just need to finally openly date Men, that’s what he really wants.
libras are nasty messy people
Her loss
Lol
You ain’t never lied! Libra men are serial cheaters.
I thought that Grace was 51,Usher will be 40 in October.He is 39.
Yes,they sure were an odd couple.
My heart went out to Tameka,she lost her poor Kile.
Isn’t she 51?
Maaan ain nobody stud’n Grace, especholly if she was with Ush when he was with Meka…she sowed her seeds not let her reap the benefits. Her nor her herpes-riddled husband gets no sympathy from me.
Who didn’t see this coming? Younger men…older women do not work!
Lololololololol ooooooo
He may take a hiatus friend. Hopefully. Just learn to love himself again (shoulder shrug).
Well he just got a chin tattoo so I guess he’s going through it. Maybe midlife crisis….
Bwahahahahahahaha but waitttttt he isn’t middle age yet
LOL!!! He’s at least in his 30’s right? That’s close enough.
Lololololololol lolol yes maam…..ok years it fits!!! Dat negro really has a tattoo on his chin tho? Damn shame
Why is Usher marrying older women?
Yes and Usher didn’t give her time to heal properly before taking her to court for the two other boys
Midlife crisis at 39 years old lmao..50 is midlife. In eleven years your comment will make sense lol
its his pattern
Tameka older
Chili older
Grace older
and he cheated on all of them
So sorry to hear this.
I’m convinced it’s HIM at this point. Either he’s just not into “them/us” or he needs to tread in a same-age category.
Usher doesn’t have mommy issues, he is insecure. This is a form of dating down….. older, less money, less clout….. He is always the star and nobody will be checking for the g-ma on his arm while he runs amok, catching and giving things. He expects them to not leave due to the dynamic of “I got a young rich tenderoni and I’m almost over the hill, this won’t happen to me again”. It’s about ownership not mommy issues.
I’m gone have to agree with you on this especially that Halle part and I was sick to my stomach to see women flocking to take advice for Steve soup cooler Harvey! With his color struck dog a$$
when younger man get them preggo it makes for better chances
??
She isn’t attractive fam.
LOL let it burn and get that year supply of oinment. Meka is rolling around on the floor laughing her butt off. Now they are sister wives for life. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5b1fc4e24be0c5c83cde5688aa7ca0c51e98164c353990607a3a359145377797.jpg
my mom who is black encourage all younger black women to get with white men..she used to work around younger black guys and hear them saying things like “telling women bust it open” and take all kinds of glee in treating black women bad.. i told her white guys are the same she says no they are not lol
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve never seen any statistics on this, but I’d be willing to bet that the divorce rate is higher for younger men/older women marriages.
Chilli might be doing the same thing.
She probably didn’t know it at the time, but she dodged a bullet with this guy.
48
I’m have a funny feeling that Usher’s next wife will be younger than him. Clearly this younger man/older woman thing hasnt worked for him.
Beard.
I’ve never been an Usher fan. I don’t really like any of his songs (except Bad Girl) and he has a platypus nose.
Man this is kinda unfortunate. After he and Tamika divorced, I think He said he’d never get married again. At least he tried
I was wondering if he’d get back with Chilli from TLC, then I remembered that she’d moved on with her life several years ago. I think she has a new boyfriend – Wayne Brady.

Any woman who wants to be in the presence of Usher…we know your herp status. On another note…Sandra, wasn’t it you saying this stuff was made up about Usher. Oh well…I guess spreading misinformation for a few dollars won’t necessarily hurt anyone other than helping him to expose more unsuspecting fools to the herp virus.
And receiving her lifetime supply of Valtrex.
Should have read TMZ’s or Blindgossip’s article about this yesterday. They went into detail about him having it and how long. It’s at least 10 years. He paid off his victims too.
Me too I just think it didn’t work trust me she knew about his disease Long Time ago and so did Tameka
Platypus. Too early in the day.
same-age category. THIS is what I’m thinking.
His head always reminded me of a man’s other head. So he just looks weird all around to me.
If it starts wrong it ends wrong as he was married when these two connected and last year was tew tew murch for Grace.
I see what you’re saying, but technically, the average life expectancy of a black man in America is about 72, sooooo 50 isnti mid life.
Bangkok bumps. Too early in the day for this J.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who the hell told that ugly man he was in a position to adise any woman? Negro BYE!
Her beard contract is up. Kudos to Grace’s coin!
She waited until all the cheating rumors died down to walk away.
must be the burn…
That pic of Grace is atrociously disturbing.
“These are my infections” ~Usher
Since he have a Mommy complex he’s going to find another older woman to marry and cheat on her with younger women. smh This time wear a condom Usher, giving people herpes not ok
*chuckles
A huge herp bullet!
2 yrs….Sandra she was suffering but she wasn’t long suffering.
There is a lady at work that smiles like that when she is not being genuine but she moves her head like a bobblehead when she does it.
Yup… There really is no need to jump into another relationship. He should take some time for himself…
This is true… Usher just might be the type of guy that wants a ‘new model’ every two years. He betta take a brake. We gon’ see…
Prolly feels uncomfortable if he’s not in a relationship…
Well Grace, was it worth it?
The same reason men marry younger women?
Beautiful pic of Tameka.
Sadly, I think he probably didn’t even tell her what he had and she was as shocked as the rest of us. People over a certain age do not get tested together prior to relationships or marriage.
I love this analogy.
She looks like she takes medication just to get out of bed everyday. That’s not a normal look. It’s that “I’m okay” look for people in therapy who take therapeutic psyche meds.
Exactly cuz Wayne Brady is “straight with no chasers” gay. Wonder how much beards get paid?
Everything hasn’t died down. The lawsuit by the man who says he had sex with Usher at the spa is still outstanding.
I will give her kudos only if she had an iron-clad clause stating she was not required to have any intimate physical contact with him and his oozing peen.
Repost.
There are grown ass women and men out chere right now doing high school cheer-leading cheers (splits and all) because of this break-up.
I wrote a cheer just for them because I’m being pettyWAP.
You have to sing it in your cheer-leading cheering voice.
Ooh Usher you so fine, can’t wait for you to give me slime. Hey, Usher.
Ooh Usher you were spurned now you have to let it burn. Hey, Usher.
Ooh Usher you learned today that you are gonna have to pay. Hey, Usher.
I know. I’m being petty Murphy. I’ll go stand in the corner.
She’s more attractive than he is. Neither one is in danger of winning any beauty contests.
You clearly don’t work in a health department or doctor’s office. There are many people willingly getting in relationships with people with herpes. 40 million people in the U.S. have it and all of them are not single. Many are married and/or with kids.
Does anyone know how much a beard gets paid?
Honestly, Usher, time to give up the ruse. We all know these older women are just beards. I blame Diddy for turning this young man out at age 15, and I blame Usher’s mama for allowing it.
Facts. And it’s 79 for white males so 39/40 is mid-life.
True.
Totally not so.
I don’t think its the age thing, it is more like many people get divorces for many different things now. I heard of too many people both in the same age group still get divorce.
I am not surprised with this divorce. Marriages take work and it doesn’t work well if you are married to a narcissist either.
You can have life crisis at any age, but it may not have a “mid” in it. LOL
Girl she had vitro. She didn’t have sex with a guy that prefer men.
LMMFAO!
LMAO!!!
Ooh say it. We were far from married but I just put a narcissist out of my life. I can deal with a narcissist from a distance but this one was delusional. Just too much. Boy bye.
:-).. CRACKING UP
a mess.
Yes many do get divorces for many different reasons, though the age difference is valid. Many men think they want it…before you know it they a screwing every young thing they see before they eventually leave. I have many examples in my surroundings. The older man/younger woman thing works…but not so much for the other side. They also had the study that stayed the further apart the couple’s ages were the more likely of a divorce.
Yes ma’am. Sat down somewhere.
Yes Sir. I’ve seen it in people( couple’s I know), and also celebrity marriages. A study was done which broke down the age differences and stated the further apart the couple was in years the more likely of a divorce. But think about it in both cases the younger person has to be mature enough to endure the relationship. What gender is more likely to be mature at a younger age and be able to handle to relationship? A younger female can date an older man (for whatever reason) have his kids and live fine without the will to want someone younger or need to “live the life.” A younger male likes having the mental maturity of the older woman but she isn’t going to want to do or be where the younger folks are…he will probably cheat with younger chicks and eventually leave if not thrown out by the older lady. Ask Sylvester Stallone or Michael Jordan versus Susan Surandon or Demi Moore
???? Yes but not always….sometimes the differences are too great. I can’t with yo tail today Shun!!!
Yep, he has a video out where is shows him getting it done. It’s one eye. LOL!!!
Who didnt see this coming?
ditto
Lawd!!!! Why!!
