Marriage

Usher and Jennifer got married in a small ceremony in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024. This happened after Usher’s unforgettable performance at the Super Bowl halftime show. The wedding was a private event attended by their children and close family members. An Elvis impersonator officiated the ceremony, which added a touch of classic Las Vegas charm.

In an interview on “The Breakfast Club” on February 19, Usher shared that he proposed marriage in 2023 and didn’t want to wait any longer to get married. The decision to get married in Las Vegas makes sense considering their residency and Super Bowl performance. Usher described the event as an intimate affair focused on the union of two people and the love of their family.

Celebrating newlywed life

Ever since their wedding, Usher and Jennifer have been celebrating their new married life. Usher posted their wedding photos on Instagram, which reflected their happiness and love. In the photos, Usher wore a black and white suit and bow tie, while Jennifer wore an off-the-shoulder white top, pants and matching gloves. In one photo, she was seen holding a bouquet of white and red roses and in another photo, she wore a veil that read, “Mrs. Raymond 02. 11. 24.”

The couple has turned several events into date nights, including the NAACP Image Awards in March, where Usher received the President’s Award. They posed for photos on the red carpet and with Halle Bailey and her boyfriend DDG. Jennifer, who has changed her Instagram name to Jennifer Raymond, shared photos from the awards show in which she gushed over Usher.

On April 20, Usher was presented with the key to the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. He posted a photo of Jennifer kissing him on the head and holding the key. Some of their children were also present at the ceremony.
