LAS VEGAS (AP): Usher Marries Longtime Partner in Las Vegas
Usher, the R&B superstar, tied the knot with his longtime partner Jenn Goicoechea in Las Vegas on Sunday, just hours after his headline performance at the Super Bowl halftime show. The ceremony, which took place at Vegas Weddings, was officiated by the Rev. Ronald Joseph Polrywka, known locally as Ron DeCar, who happens to be an Elvis Presley impersonator. The happy news was made public through a marriage certificate, with Jonnetta Patton, Usher’s mother, as one of the witnesses.
The joyful news was confirmed by Melody Willis-Williams, the owner of the chapel, who stated, “Congratulations to the Newlyweds! We were beyond thrilled to host this epic day for Usher and his new wife. As much as we love, love, this is the couple’s news to share any further details on. We’ll always be fans of Usher! Yeah!”
Usher and Jenn’s Journey
Usher, 45, and Goicoechea, 40, have been together since 2019 and share two young daughters. The couple’s relationship has been a steadfast one, and they finally took the step towards marriage. Usher’s representative, Lydia Kanuga, has not yet provided further details regarding the service. Speculations are rising. Was the ceremony held in the chapel, on a balcony, or even in a drive-thru lane? We’ll have to wait for official confirmation.
The Happy Destination: Las Vegas
Clark County Clerk Lynn Marie Goya, the head of the county’s marriage license bureau, confirmed that Usher and Goicoechea obtained their marriage license last week. Goya humorously stated, “Naturally they got married in Las Vegas. What better place than the ‘Wedding Capital of the World?'”
Super Bowl Halftime Show
Usher’s show-stopping performance during the Super Bowl halftime show at Allegiant Stadium drew high praise. The performance included guest appearances by stars like Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, and Ludacris. The NFL championship game, played between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, ended with the Chiefs emerging as the champions in overtime, securing a 25-22 victory.
Usher’s Career and Future Plans
Usher recently wrapped up a two-year residency at the Las Vegas Strip, where he wowed audiences with his show “Usher: My Way” at the Park MGM. This residency was a preview of his upcoming 24-city U.S. tour titled “Past Present Future,” scheduled to begin in August. In addition, Usher has just released his first solo album in eight years, a highly anticipated milestone in his thriving music career.
Conclusion
Usher and Jenn’s wedding in Las Vegas marks a joyous milestone in their love story. As they begin this new chapter of their lives together, fans around the world wish them a lifetime of love and happiness.
