By dating Chilli, who was eight years older, Usher proved that he appreciated mature, ethereal queens. Stylist Tameka Foster was also eight years older. For some reason, the public seemed to be way less accepting of their age gap, however. Still, Usher married Foster back in 2007, according to People. “It was a long time coming, and I can’t think of any two people who deserve happiness more than they do,” shared a guest who was present at the ceremony. Soon after their wedding, Usher and Foster had two children, but they weren’t able to sustain a family life for them. In June 2009, Usher filed to divorce Foster and by November of that year, their marriage was officially over, per People.
Before their divorce, the couple battled a bunch of negativity regarding Foster’s age and Usher’s wandering eye. One year earlier, Usher appeared on TRL and infamously addressed some of the commentary floating around. “I love my wife very, very much,” said Usher (via MTV).”There was a little rumor earlier this week about us separating. It ain’t true. We in love. Get outta there, “Matter of fact, I’m tired of people continuing to talk so much trash about me, know what I’m saying?”

Unfortunately, the rumors weren’t exactly rumors as he and Foster would go on to divorce a year later. By the way, “Raymond Vs. Raymond” was about their divorce.
