Usher Opens Up About Why His Marriage Ended

Says it was just never going to work out 100%.

From People
"I appreciate the relationship for what it was," he says. "Even though it didn't work out, I'm glad we got together. I love her as the mother of my children; we just couldn't be married."

So what went wrong? Usher says that shortly after the birth of their second child, he and Foster started to disagree over everything from parenting style to his busy schedule.

"We're two different people," he says, "and we have two different goals. It just was never going to work out 100 percent."

Whatever Usher you have been hanging with Tameka for a while now and during a marriage and birth of you second child this all became so clear?

I think they disagreed on who would be the top and who would be the bottom.

These two tired jackasses get the ho sit down award.

they broke up because he never wanted the second child. tameka was getting to comfortable. she was starting to show her true colors.

until Usher says "my marriage did not work because I am a gay," he can just save it!

It happens all the time....many women attitudes change after having babies, especially multiple times. They come across like the man's goals are suppose to change and life is all about them & the babies. It's immature on their part, considering he still has to get to the $$$$$, but sometimes they never grow out of it. Lose the woman, save the kids from all the stress/drama, and gain yourself.

What marriage created by two imperfect people EVER 'works out 100%'?!? Marriage is a JOB that takes a lot of work for one to get the dividends, so just admit that you weren't willing to put the work in and K.I.M.!!! Ridiculous!!!

That's it ??? :-/

It not the marriage that does not work but the people who are involved in that marriage do not want to give more or the best out of themselves. What you don't give to one person you might give to another but the key is that you still have to give of yourself so when it fails it one on you then the actual image of the marriage.

In reality he realized that his marriage was bad for biz. On his inside the music show he said his fans could take him being married. The truth is his fans were put off by his bad taste in marring a woman that looks like a man. Also firing your mom over said manly woman wasn't a good look. I think he also figured he'd do another confessions type album which is why he named it Raymond cd raymond

Thank you @Soulwriter. I swear the ridiculousness that comes out of people's mouths about marriage. Marriage is not only about love, it's also everything that comes with it (finances, religious beliefs, morals, values, etc). It in itself is a 24/7 job that constantly has to be worked on in order for it to last. But people (especially celebs) are so quick to jump ship when the smallest thing happens. And celebs want to cry foul when regular folk (form opinions and) think they are sluts and whores for hopping from one relationship to another.

As for Usher, he seems to be a sucker and easily influenced by everyone around him, and he seems like he has difficulty making a life-altering decision on his own. It looks like he allows everyone from the public eye to his own mother dictate how he should conduct his life.

The marriage didn't work because her balls were bigger than his.

Couples (past and present) need to stop talking so much about their marriage woes to anybody and everybody that will listen. Conversation about a marriage to anyone not involved in it is just gossip fodder to people that really don't give a damn about somebody else's failed marriage, and are just happy it is somebody's marriage other than theirs. Meanwhile their marriage is just as jacked up as any other jacked up marriage, but they manage to keep their business to themselves and look down on others.

Usher is a damn lie. Females were upset that he was with Tameka (a darkskinned chick) and his CDs started to flop, so it was either his career or his wife, so he dumped the wife and kept the career.

Fuck Usher and his half flat/half straight nose.

Anonymous said...

Why is he "opening up" about his failed marriage, now? Isn't he selling enough CDs and concert tickets?

Anonymous said...

Celebs need to learn to keep certain thing private for their relationships sake. It seems the rich take marriage very lightly, it means nothing to most of them. I think his ex had motives that were only in her best interest, his mother told him this but he was blinded by "love" and didnt listen. He found out on his own. To bad two kids were brought in to the middle of their bad decisions.

*sidenote* the fact that she left her first husband at the drop of a hat for him should have been a sure sign of her charater and motives...bad judgement on his part.

Ursh needs to marry a woman like his mother. In fact, Ursh needs to just stay a mamma's boy.

(((WA...WA...WA)))Suck a D*ck already US HER and STFU! It's over and done. Why does this man have to feel that he needs to explain himself? Had he been confident in him being a man and affirmative about this marriage to begin with, he would most likely still be married. There is nothing worse than an indecisive man who is not sure himself, his career and his existence. Bottom line, everyone including his fans knew he was a "pus/wus" and he was called out on the carpet about it (by his family, media and fans). He needed to learn to keep his "private life private" and his business/entertainment life as "entertainment". Ask Beyonce, JayZ and tons of other successful artist who have managed to stay relevant /married and know how to play the media from destructing their family/home. Just STFU already and move the hell on!--ThatBKChick

Tameka dont care...she got 2 gold mines NOW...money money money....money!!!!

At one time he was extremely happy with her. So...Bottom line his fans didn't like his wife. The blogs wouldn't stop hating on her and he wasn't man enough to stand up for his marriage. Instead, he got sick of her & took the easy way out and got divorced. He reminds me of an immature high school guy that likes a girl his friends think is unattractive, so he starts mistreating her. Usher has problems and his career is null & void.

A lot of male entertainers and athletes that are married or involved in serious or long-term relationships carry a "single playboy" lifestyle image, because it appeals to fans more than a father-husband type of lifestyle would. Family and commitment are not sexy to most fans of people they consider to be heartthrobs, I guess. The same people that complained and made negative comments about Usher and Tameka's relationship and marriage will most likely never, ever be in the same room as Usher or any other celebrity, at the same time.

@@@7:33pm....Okay, a'int that the gospel "truth" and some of these celebrities are so tricked out by their fame and fortune.
Why could he just keep his marriage private? I am so disappointed in those of us that still harps on how dark skinned Tameka Foster is. Really, still in 2010...really. Like that is a basic for choosing a mate.

Is this still a topic??

I want to know who in the fuk is still asking these two attention whores questions about their marriage and divorce??? Are they really that important?!!! Shit happens!!! Life is just one big learning process. Some make it and some don't. So, let these ppl live their lives.
And I'm just tired of reading about the same ol same and that includes his feeling or lack of feelings for Chilli. Damn, can we just move on already?!!!

Anonymous said...

Wow, they got divorced because they couldn't be married. That is earth-shattering news.

Bell Pepper Nose cheated on Chilli with Manteka
Manteka (the "mother" of 3)cheated on her husband with Bell Pepper Nose.

They are both grimy, weak, attention-whoring, slutbags who fucked and then fucked each other over. Something they both were used to doing. End of story. Now Usher can raise his kids as a single dad or find another woman to put up with his weak, arrogant, annoying, MJ wannabe ass. Manteka can go back to crying, bitching,and whining about Ush, swearing she won't talk about him while throwing twitter tantrums and subliminal messages his way. Maybe she hasn't healed from that plastic butchery nightmare and is on meds. Either way, both need to SHUTTHEFUCKUP

lol @ "half flat half straight" "bell pepper" nose and cosigns with 7:15.

only an immature man with issues can't decide what he wants at age 30 mind you.

Let's put it where it's really @ Usher. Tameka told wendy williams in a club that she had a lot of T that she wanted to spill about our dear Usher the very next day on her radio show. She backed out @ the last minute, and a couple weeks later, he's mysteriously engagaed. He married her to muzzle her and then divorce her and make her keep her damn mouth shut as a part of the divorce agreement. You ain't slick Usher, we know YOU like it bottoms up right?

Why are we still reading about Usher and Tameka? So OLD news come on now, I need some juicier gossip then this old hang and her boy toy - next!

@2:22
That sounds right but he must have tapped it a few times since he has two sons. So the smart thing would have been to marry her and keep her locked in the house for a couple of years with no physical contact then divorce. LOL

Anonymous said...

@9:08 LMFAO. BOTTOM line(no pun intended)he didn't want her to put his ASS on blast. Especially on the wendy williams show. Like I said, you ain't slick bruh!!!

Anonymous said...

All that mess about Tameka's fugly ass being dark skinned has NOTHING to do with it. If that was the case, his fans wouldn't have liked Chill either cuz she ain't all that light. But Chilli is BEAUTIFUL.. but that's besides the point. Tameka's entire rap sheet is what got her fucked up... the chick had 3 kids by two diff men, left her husband, the whole nine. Not to mention her attitude is fucked up beyond belief and the bitch looks like Danny Glover. Usher seen what everybody was tryna tell him and his ass chucked the deuces.

I'm tired of hearing this bull shit about people not liking Tameka because she was dark skinned. Chili is dark skinned so the whole complexion excuse that Tameka went on about isn't true. The only difference is Chili doesn't look like a 50 year old man. Being dark skinned doesn't mean you look like a man or older than your age. I don't expect Tameka to accept that she looks like a 50 year old man but I'm tired of these lame skin color excuses.

I didn't see your post until after I posted @11:05pm but you hit the needle right on the head. I have to add that I find it insulting for her to even make up such an excuse as her being dark skinned as why Ushers fans and the general population that follows black blogs didn't like her.
