Congratulations to Usher and his girlfriend, Jenn Goicoechea! The happy couple took to Instagram to reveal that Jenn had given birth to a healthy baby girl, and her name is too cute! "We are feeling blessed and full of love with the arrival of our beautiful baby girl, Sovereign Bo Raymond," Usher captioned a picture of his daughter's tiny hand clutching his finger. "'Isn’t She lovely' by Stevie Wonder on repeat," he added.
Who is Usher's girlfriend, Jenn Goicoechea?
In August, sources confirmed that Usher's girlfriend, Jenn Goicoechea, was pregnant with the couple's first child. The happy couple were spotted walking in Los Angeles on August 31 with Jenn's baby bump on full display, and the pair couldn't be more ecstatic about their future bundle of joy.
Rumors about Jenn and Usher started swirling after the pair were spotted kissing at the Hollywood Bowl in 2019. At the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, Usher and Jenn were acting like a full-on couple, getting cozy with each other while attending the soiree. The couple then solidified their relationship status, as they were more recently spotted on a bike ride (and you don't just go bike riding with anyone, you know).
Now that Usher and Jenn are clearly in it for the long run, we're wondering more and more about Jenn Goicoechea.
What does Usher's girlfriend do for a living?
According to her Instagram page, Goicoechea is the senior director of A&R at Epic Records.
Based on some of the photos she's shared on her page, she and Usher have known each other for quite some time — there's even a "throwback" picture on her page featuring her and a young Usher, which she captioned, "Boys Club."
When did Jenn Goicoechea and Usher start dating?
Photographer Jennifer Johnson was the first one to snap a picture of Usher and his new lady love Goicoechea backstage at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA, back in October 2019.
"Cause she's such a good kisser! Caught a rare moment with @usher backstage the other day. I stay catching moments like these boys be catching feelings!" she captioned the photo below.
When did Usher get divorced?
In September 2015, Usher quietly married his manager, Grace Miguel, and they honeymooned in Cuba. The couple kept their relationship pretty low-key but, unfortunately, they couldn't make their marriage work.
In March of 2018, Usher and Miguel separated, and in December 2018, Usher filed for divorce.
When did Usher and Jenn Goicoechea go public with their relationship?
While Usher and Goicoechea haven't been public with their romance, they certainly haven't been a "secret," either.
Back in December 2019, when Sean "P. Diddy" Combs celebrated his 50th birthday at his Holmby Hills mansion, Usher was seen, not only performing at the event, but "getting cozy" with Goicoechea, as well.
Did Usher and Jenn Goicoechea get together while he was married?
Is it possible that Goicoechea and Usher have been dating for a lot longer than they're claiming? Back in December 2016, Goicoechea posted a photo of her and Usher on her Instagram page. She even tagged the R&B crooner in the photo!
Remember, too, that in December 2016, Usher was still married to his manager, Grace Miguel. They'd actually been married for more than a year at that point. Check out the photo Goicoechea posted below, and judge for yourself.
Have Usher and Jenn Goicoechea been quarantining together?
The couple seem to be spending the coronavirus quarantine together, as they were seen out riding their bikes together in April. The pair were wearing scarves around their faces and stopped to walk their dog at one point. Nearly five months later, she's expecting his child, so it's safe to assume that these two have been getting plenty of alone time together.
Does Jenn Goicoechea have kids?
This will be Jenn Goicoechea's first child; however, Usher has two kids from his previous marriage with Tameka Foster: Naviyd Ely Raymond (11) and Usher Raymond V (12).
