Usher’s Fiance Tameka Foster Speaks
Essence.com: So Usher is not a home wrecker, as the tabloids suggested?
T.F.: Absolutely not. He was on tour when my marriage was officially over. He had nothing to do with what happened between my husband and me. Between my hectic travel schedule and our personality differences, my ex and I grew apart. There are no hard feelings between us. He is a wonderful father. I don’t have any regrets or anger toward him. We have great, smart, well-rounded children. It’s the media that wants to make it appear as if we have this big nasty beef with each other, and we don’t.
Essence.com: When did your relationship with Usher blossom into romance?
T.F.: In November 2005. What people don’t realize is that Usher and I were friends for nearly seven years and I worked as his personal stylist for five years. I was the only female friend he felt he could talk to. Because I was older, he would often ask me questions to help him understand the mentality of an older woman. He was really into Chilli. And when things began to get shaky in my marriage he was there to listen to me as well. But I want to make this clear: We only began dating when Usher was certain that there was no chance of reconciliation between me and my ex, because who wants to be known for breaking up a family or for sharing a woman?
Damn I don’t how she managed to get Usher to settle down, but best of luck to them.

lol, damn yall are harsh. I did expect him to end up with somebody younger and more model like, but when your in love, your in love.

Usher is where he wants to be and their happy. That’s all that matters. She isn’t bad looking at all. She’s been called a gold-digger, home-wrecker, unfit mother, etc. People are too quick to judge a book by it’s cover and accuse her of those things but don’t any facts to validate thier accusation. Nobody knows a shitten thing about them, but even though she didn’t have to at least she was nice enough to clear up the rumors and let people know exactly who she was. Then again people will still talk shit because somehow that’s how this dumbass society works.

June 19th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
damn, celebrities can’t get involved with some who they love or like a lot. its like because you a celebrity you have fuck with a r&b diva or model or the likes. Why can’t a nigga like the girl he like without someone bashing him. Shit, i know a lot of niggaz who i be like ‘dayum, u could get a better girl than that’ but its who u love in the end

June 20th, 2007 at 5:48 am
Usher just comfirmed my beliefs of whether or not he was on the DL. And i’m assuming YES. His fiance look like a middle aged man wit a wig.
June 20th, 2007 at 7:22 am
Usher is the “settle down” type. It’s very obvious b/c he likes to have long term girlfriends. Getting him to settle, I’m sure, wasn’t as hard as ppl think. He seems like he likes a lot of attention and alcolades and she seems like she gives it to him. He likes to be in love. It’s quite clear.
This is from an OG woman – 34 – we know what’s up.
June 20th, 2007 at 8:17 am
@3 shawn I agree with you 100% it’s just a bunch of ignorant, ghetto folks that talk trash.

June 20th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
All i have to say is to me she is not attractive. I guess that is a nice way of saying she ugly. Usher you can do better than her and i think she is to old for you and you still like having a kid way about you and in a little while she will not understand that cause she is past that. So usher better try and holla at chilli. I see them working if usher act right.
June 20th, 2007 at 4:56 pm

dang usher i hope this is a lie and i want u to be happy but your fiancee is not so cute. sorry to say that. but it doesn’t matter how she looks as long as u luv her and she luvs u everthing is all good
July 20th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
I say be happy Usher. Looks are not everything and as long as your happy, to hell with all the haters calling your fiance ugly. That is whats wrong with black folks now, instead of congratulating ppl, we have to always criticize.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:33 pm

August 18th, 2007 at 8:47 pm
What ya’ll need to realize is, is that Usher is grown… There is nuthin wrong the female he’s with ryte now. If that’s what he’s sees as his interest and wants to be with then that’s him.. So stop Hatin’ lol
August 22nd, 2007 at 10:30 pm
That chick looks manlier than Usher.
January 5th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I wish he would have worked it out wit chilli. I really thought and still think she was the one but he messed up.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
During the interview she said she was there for him through the rough times with Chilli…She probably talked him out it so she can get the meat to herself. Damn manipulative bitch. And the posters on here to think we are hating because we’re jealous…Hell yeah i am jealous, jealous and mad that my chance with usher is long over due and i lost to this thing…We may be not the best compared to models but this Tameka Chick now has the money in the world to make herself pretty yet there is not a damn think she can do. I guess there is hope for all of us hahah.
