Additionally, Usher also shares sons Usher V and Naviyd Ely with ex-wife Tameka Foster.
Both Jenn and Usher clearly love being parents, and have spoken how they have chosen to raise their kids during several occasions. “Being present is key. I make sure to stay available as a dad at all times for my children, while staying committed to the thing that sparked my passion at a very young age,” he told Ebony in November 2023. “I hope that it’s an inspiration to my kids. I have this dynamic that works for me. My work allows me to be able to spend significant amounts of time with my kids and also be able to remain committed to what it is I love to do. But, that balance is not easy.”
