Just hours before they arrived at the Super Bowl afterparty in their wedding outfits, it was reported by The Daily Mail that the two of them had recently obtained a marriage license in Las Vegas. Based on the report, Usher and Jennifer obtained the license on February 8th, three days ahead of their planned wedding.
A source also told The Daily Mail what led them to the decision to get married. It was reportedly Usher’s spiritual advisor, Amba Kahly Su, who advised him to take the next step in his relationship. The two of them have been dating for over four years now.
Jennifer’s Identity Was Originally a Mystery
They made their relationship public on October 10th, 2019 with a photo shared on Jennifer Johnson’s Instagram. In the photo, Jennifer, Usher’s now-wife, is seen kissing Usher on the cheek. Usher himself has a big smile on his face and his eyes are closed.
Interestingly, the Instagram post didn’t actually reveal the identity of the woman kissing Usher. So for a while, fans on the internet were scrambling to figure out who the mystery woman was.

The two of them share two children together. They have a daughter named Sovereign Bo, who will be turning four years old this year. She was born in September 2020.
And just a year later, in September 2021, Usher and Jennifer welcomed their second child together, son Sire Castrello. Usher also has two older children, Usher V, and Naviyd Ely, from his previous relationship with ex-wife Tameka Foster.
