Usher’s Fiancee Slams Rumors
Tameka Foster, Usher’s fiancée, has slammed rumors that she is expecting her ex-husband’s baby and that she and Usher are on the verge of splitting.
By: Shannon Gossage
Foster recently said that she and Usher are "good" and has said not to listen to all the gossip. Foster said, "Friends tell me about some of [the online gossip] and we’ll laugh, but honestly, I don’t pay attention to the gossip on the day-to day." She did shut down rumors that she is carrying her ex-husband’s baby saying, "That is ridiculous. If that were the case, the baby would have been born already." She did give a somewhat fuzzy answer when asked if she and Usher were expecting their first child together when she said, "Yes, I do plan to have children with Usher. This is the man I love and plan to spend the rest of my life with, so why wouldn’t I want to share that bond of bringing another life into the world with him?" She has reportedly refused to clarify her response.
She also shot down rumors that she was still married to Noontime Music co-founder Ryan Glover and Usher was dating Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas when they first got together. Foster, 36, said, "No, it’s not true. For the record, I was legally separated from my husband, to whom I was married for five years, not 10 as many people have reported. He knew Usher and I were dating, and he was dating other people." She goes on to say that she and Glover just "grew apart" and that there are "no hard feelings" between them.
Foster said that she Usher became close about a year ago despite their seven-year friendship. She was also his personal stylist for five of those years. She said, "I was the only female he could talk to. Because I was older, he would often ask me questions to help him understand the mentality of an older woman." Foster went on to say, "And when things began to get shaky in my marriage he was there to listen to me as well." Foster, who has three children from her first marriage, said that Usher accepted her for who she is. She said, "I have issues that a person could either love or hate, but he accepted me completely."
