Usher was the headliner for this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. But that was not the only life-changing event that happened for the music legend that weekend. That same day, Usher tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Jenn Goicoechea. It is appropriate considering that Las Vegas was the host city for this year’s Super Bowl.
The couple made it official on the same day as the big game. Usher recently shared some photos of their epic union.
“One of them Ones,” his Instagram caption read.
Spokesperson For Usher Confirms Marriage
In an email to PEOPLE, a spokesperson for Usher confirmed their union was official. Noting that only “close friends and family,” were present at the event.

In an interview with PEOPLE in 2023, the R&B singer gushed over his love for Goicoechea.

Chili Reveals Details About ‘Confessions’
Most of Usher’s fans will argue that his Confessions album is what catapulted him from R&B star to R&B legend. The album recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its release.
The album also features the song Confessions, which has been rumored to be dedicated to his ex-girlfriend Chili of the legendary girl group TLC. The track is an apology to her after he reportedly got another woman pregnant while the two were in a relationship.
But Chili revealed that wasn’t true. The lyrics were based on the life experiences of Jermaine Dupri – the song’s executive producer.
“We were together when he recorded that album,” she said. “All of those songs on Confessions, that was about Jermaine Dupri’s situation. Usher was just singing it. But people kind of bought into it, it was just the timing of our breakup when the album came out.”
