Usher, Wife Near Divorce

Couple splits, papers not filed yet

Share

(Newser) – The honeymoon is over for R&B star Usher and his wife of nearly 2 years. Divorce papers “haven’t been filed yet, but we had a telephone conversation last week with an attorney asking how to file,” a court clerk tells the Daily News. The split with Tameka Foster comes 4 months after Usher flew to Brazil to join her after she went into cardiac arrest during cosmetic surgery.

“Everyone close to Usher knew how unhappy he was,” says one insider; another adds, “He was tired of how demanding she is. He always had to cater to her constant insecurities. But now he’s ready to move on and take care of his kids.”

Finding a new gal pal shouldn't be difficult for Usher at all. I mean, he's Usher for crying out loud! Still sucks to go through a divorce though. I wish him well. Reply

I'm sure him being a celebrity, with much unwanted attention didn't do well for her insecurities either. Hopefully things can be amicable. Reply

She was the Mrs. just long enough to take a few million out of his off shore accounts. He was probably getting laid at every stop on his tours. Duh! Reply
