She will always be his boo.
Usher, 45, is a married man after the Grammy-winning R&B star and his girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, 40, official tied the knot. New photos posted by the music superstar show him and Goicoechea kissing with his arm around her donning black leather gloves.
"One of them Ones ?? 2.11.24," Usher captioned the photo with a wedding ring emoji. Other photos feature Raymond's four children, including his sons Cinco, 16, Naviyd, 15, and Sire, 2, and his daughter Sovereign, 3, in the backseat of a vehicle looking at the newlyweds. Usher shares his two eldest children with ex-wife Tameka Foster and his youngest two children with Goicoechea.
His bride wore a veil inscribed with "Mrs. Raymond" and another shot shows Usher in a jacket standing before a convertible with a "just married" sign and eight cans drug behind.
According to Clark County Clerk's Office records reviewed by USA TODAY Monday, the newlywed couple said "I do" on Super Bowl Sunday. They were married at Vegas Weddings just hours after the superstar's headlining performance during the Super Bowl halftime show, according to the Associated Press.
Usher and Goicoechea "took the next step in their relationship and did get married on Sunday night in Las Vegas surrounded by close friends and family," a representative for the singer said in a statement to USA TODAY Tuesday. "They both look forward to continuing to raise their children together surrounded by love and thank everyone for the well wishes."
The wedding was held at The Fast Lane, a drive-thru chapel in Las Vegas, Vegas Weddings confirmed to USA TODAY.
"Congratulations to the Newlyweds!" Melody Willis-Williams, president of Vegas Weddings, said in a statement. "What a great game and Usher's performance was phenomenal! All of us at Vegas Weddings were beyond thrilled to host in this epic day for Usher and his new wife."
People also published photos of Usher and Goicoechea on their big day. The singer is seen wearing a black and white tuxedo, while the bride wears a white pants suit and a veil embroidered with "Mrs. Raymond 02.11.24." One of the photos also shows the couple in the front seat of a convertible with Usher's teenaged sons in the backseat.
The news comes after a representative for the Clark County Clerk's Office confirmed to USA TODAY that the two had obtained a marriage license in Las Vegas.
Usher and Goicoechea filed their application for the license on Thursday, three days before the Super Bowl.
