Fame and celebrity

  • Goicoechea and Usher have been romantically linked since 2019, and tied the knot days before the singer’s Super Bowl performance this year

This past weekend, Usher was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2024 BET Awards. That night, the “Yeah!” singer gave a moving speech centred on themes of forgiveness and fatherhood.

The 45-year-old singer-songwriter took the stage to reflect on his career, stating, “Getting here has definitely not been easy, but it has been worth it.” At the event, the “My Boo” singer was celebrated not just by the audience but by his family, including his mum Jonnetta Patton, his brother J. Lack, his sons Naviyd Raymond and Usher “Cinco” Raymond V, and his wife, Jennifer Raymond (née Goicoechea), according to the Hollywood Reporter.
