Itâs safe to say there are no bad blood between R&B singer Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Foster, at least from the eyes of the onlooker. According to Usher, since the divorce, their friendship has gotten better because the âpressureâ of his career is no longer taking a toll on their relationship. The âOMGâ star filed for divorce from Foster last June (2009), claiming the couple, who wed in 2007, had been living separately for over a year. In a recent interview, Usher says their failed marriage is in the pass and he has formed a friendship with the stylist, for the benefit of their children Naviyd and Usher Raymond V. “With my ex-wife, there was a lot of pressure in our relationship because of my career,â Usher tells Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine. âNow that’s alleviated we’re friends and make smart decisions for our children.”
Usher and Tameka Foster, who were once married to each other, have been seen out together in recent weeks. They divorced several years ago but now they appear to be spending time with one another as ‘friends’. This reunion has intrigued many people and sparked a lot of speculation about what the two may be up to. Could this ex-couple be getting back together? Or could they simply just be friends again? In this article we will explore Usher and Tameka’s relationship since their divorce and consider why it is that the pair seems to have reconciled.
The couple met in 2005 at an event for Usher’s album Confessions. The following year they got married and welcomed two sons into their family before divorcing in 2009 after only two years of marriage. Since then both parties had moved on from each other until recently when photos began circulating showing them looking friendly with one another during a night out. Rumors quickly spread that the former spouses might get back together which was later denied by Usher’s camp. So, why are these two hanging out if not for romance?
Friends close to the pair have said that because they share children, Usher and Tameka wanted to keep things civil between them so that they can co-parent effectively while also maintaining good relationships with their kids’ step-parents where applicable – something which is becoming increasingly common amongst parents today. What remains unknown however is how long this friendship will last or whether there could still be potential for reconciliation down the line; only time will tell!
Background Of The Divorce
Usher and Tameka Foster were married in 2007, after a long courtship. The couple had two sons together before their divorce in 2009. Though the split was acrimonious at first, with each accusing the other of infidelity and neglecting parenting responsibilities, it appears that Usher and Tameka have managed to become ‘friends’ after all this time.
Though they are no longer married, both Usher and Tameka put aside their differences to ensure that their children are raised properly. They agree on co-parenting arrangements and seem to be amicable when discussing issues regarding the boys. It is clear that both parents care deeply for them and want what’s best for them.
The former couple also appear to still have feelings for one another as well; though not romantic ones. In interviews about his new album, Usher has spoken fondly of his ex-wife, saying she was an inspiration for many of the songs he wrote during the recording process. Similarly, Tameka has praised her ex-husband publicly as well, telling journalists that she will always love him even if they’re no longer a couple.
It seems that while they may not be able to make things work as husband and wife, there is enough respect between Usher and Tameka to remain civil towards one another—and perhaps more than that: friends.
Recent Developments In Their Relationship
In recent years, Usher and Tameka have made a concerted effort to stay connected on both a personal and professional level. They frequently appear together in public at events or interviews, with the former couple often joking around and showing genuine affection for one another. This has been particularly noticeable since 2019 when they attended their son’s high school graduation together—an event that was widely reported by the media.
Usher also recently revealed that he is releasing an album of duets which will feature some of his previous duet partners as well as Tameka. He stated that it was important for him to include her on the project because she had inspired so much of his music over the years; it seems clear that despite not being married anymore there remains a strong bond between them.
The two are clearly comfortable enough to be able to speak openly about each other during interviews and appearances, indicating how far their relationship has come from its initial acrimonious state. It appears that after everything they’ve gone through, Usher and Tameka Foster can proudly say they are ‘friends’ once again.
Conclusion
The divorce between Usher and Tameka Foster was a difficult one, with both parties embroiled in an emotional battle. But despite the hurtful words that were exchanged during their separation, there appears to be some healing happening now. In recent times, they have been seen together on multiple occasions, suggesting that they are indeed friends once again.
Both of them seem to understand how important it is for their sons’ wellbeing for them to get along. With this knowledge in hand, it looks like Usher and Tameka are making every effort possible to rebuild their relationship into something positive. They may never go back to being husband and wife, but at least they can find common ground as parents and co-parents who want the best for their kids.
It’s heartening to see these two exes coming together for the sake of their children despite all that has happened between them. It takes a lot of courage and maturity to put aside differences and become “friends” post-divorce. Kudos to Usher and Tameka Foster for showing us what real co-parenting looks like!
