Usher Raymond is back on the market. The 40-year-old R&B crooner filed for divorce from his wife Grace Miguel after 3 years of marriage.
In a court document obtained by PEOPLE and first reported by The Blast, Usher filed for divorce on Friday in Georgia.
Grace’s divorce petition, filed in April, cites “irreconcilable differences.”
Usher and Grace announced their separation in March — after the singer was sued by several people claiming he exposed them to the herpes virus.
“After much thought and consideration, we have mutually decided to separate as a couple. We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives,” the statement read. “The enormous amount of love and respect that we have for each other will only increase as we move forward.”
Usher and Grace tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Cuba in 2015. Their union produced no children. Usher has 2 sons with retired celebrity stylist Tameka Glover.
Insiders say the couple is still very much together, and that the divorce was planned to protect Usher’s assets in the event that a sympathetic judge or jury believes his accusers and hit him with a large jury award.
PEOPLE reports that Usher and Grace were last spotted together in June — several months after they announced their split.
The couple also unloaded pricey real estate, including their home in the Los Angeles area over the summer.
