Usher got married during Superbowl Weekend. To a woman.

Usher is married!

The 45-year-old Grammy-winning artist and his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, 40, tied the knot on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas, where the singer performed at Super Bowl LVIII, PEOPLE has confirmed. Usher's mother Jonetta Patton was the couple's witness, according to the marriage certificate.

Just three days before the "Yeah!" artist was set to take the stage during the NFL championship, Usher and the music executive obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada.

After the big game, the pair stepped out together in Las Vegas, and Usher was photographed wearing a gold band on his left ring finger. Goicoechea was dressed in an all-white pantsuit featuring an off-the-shoulder, tie-waist jacket and wide-leg pants, while Usher wore a white floor-sweeping fur coat over his black tuxedo.

A representative for Usher did not respond to request for comment.

Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively earlier this week, the Super Bowl 2024 halftime show performer opened up about his relationship with Goicoechea.

"Listen, when you find someone that you know is a great partner, of course it is an honor and a pleasure to be able to share life with someone who wants to share it with you and loves you, who you are," he said.

"We've obviously made a commitment to life for life together because of our children," Usher continued. "It wouldn't be odd for us to get married. We already did here. You know what I'm saying?"

"And we're going to be in each other's lives until we die, obviously, because we have something to share. That's beautiful. Our children. But not because of that. I really do feel like I have an amazing partner that I respect."

Usher also opened up about forming a deep connection with Goicoechea during a time of growth. "I started this journey, I found and met an amazing partner who happened to be my best friend and was there all the time, and I was like, wow, this could be great," he said of the start of their romance, which began after he took a soul-searching trip around the globe in 2018.

The newlyweds welcomed their first child together, daughter Sovereign Bo, in 2020, followed by their son, Sire Castrello, in 2021. Usher also shares two sons, Usher V and Naviyd Ely, with his ex-wife, Tameka Foster.

Goicoechea and Usher first sparked dating rumors when they were photographed together at producer Keith Thomas' 40th birthday party in June 2019.

Ahead of his performance at Super Bowl LVIII, Usher added that Goicoechea is always cheering him on. "I have an amazing partner, a support system," he told PEOPLE.

"We have an amazing dynamic between our relationship where I'm able to be passionate still about what I do and have an incredible partner to work through some of the harder times as a young man dealing with children."

Usher continued to rave about the support and love from Goicoechea, saying, "I'm very happy, very fortunate to have an incredible friend, not just a partner. She's my best friend and I love her."

Having worked in the music industry for years, Goicoechea crossed paths with Usher several times before they became romantically involved.

In March 2016, she shared a photo of herself whispering in his ear at an undisclosed event. A few years later, in March 2018, she posted a throwback photo with him and other male creatives, including producer Bryan-Michael Cox, captioned simply: "Boys Club."

However, it wasn't until after they were photographed attending Thomas' birthday celebration in Atlanta in June 2019 that rumors swirled of a possible romance between the two.

They were then spotted kissing backstage at a concert at the Hollywood Bowl in October 2019.

In December 2019, the newly-minted couple also cozied up at Sean "Diddy" Combs' 50th birthday party in Los Angeles, per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

He’s only 45? I was sure he was 50. The best thing about him was his body and the Super Bowl proved that he no longer has that.

Remember one of the people suing him said his dick was dripping a yellow-green substance? Wasn’t one of the accusers a guy too?

Makes sense now why Bieber is such a mess.

He suffers from depression, has tattoos all over his body, and has sought out that (shady) pastor to help him with his troubles.

All the classic signs of molestation.

[quote] Usher Reveals Why Justin Bieber Declined Super Bowl Halftime Show Invitation

After Justin Bieber delivered his first performance in a year for the 2024 NHL All-Star Game earlier this month, speculation that the Canadian superstar would be making a surprise appearance at Usher’s Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show was high. Despite the excitement, that moment never came, and Usher has finally revealed why.

Speaking with “The Breakfast Club,” Usher confirmed he reached out to Bieber — and pretty much “everybody” — but the singer declined. “I honor and recognize the fact that my brother… I think it might have just been that he’s just wanting to tell a different story right now, and I did understand that,” Usher said in the teaser clip. “We did have a brief conversation, and we’re gonna do something else in the future.”

Usher continued, “No love lost or anything like that. It’s a lot of pressure for the Super Bowl, obviously, for me to put together a show. I reached out to everybody. Justin wasn’t the only person I spoke to about doing the Super Bowl, but the moment was maybe for later.”

In 2022, Bieber was scheduled to embark on his “Justice” world tour but the trek was ultimately canceled with the purpose of Bieber returning to focus on his health.

Usher and Bieber have a years-long friendship and professional relationship that sprouted at the beginning of Bieber’s career. They also share the song “Somebody to Love,” which appeared on Bieber’s debut album.

Before moving on to questions about Chris Brown, Usher predicted that “[Bieber is] going to play the Super Bowl… I’ll go ahead and give you that for the future. I profess that over his life because he has a career that deserves it. It just didn’t happen, but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to.”

Or maybe he doesn't want to be diddled by you again, USHER.

He probably caught herpes from Usher, too.

I don't blame Bieber for staying away.
