Usher, Wife Expecting a Son
Singer wants to name boy after himself
It looks like Usher might get his wish for a namesake.R&B singer Usher Raymond and his wife Tameka Foster are expecting a boy, reports People. The entertainer has a very basic outlook for a father-to-be.
"I just want my son to fully be coherent and to be healthy, first and foremost," says Usher while in Manhattan to launch his fragrances, USHER for Men and USHER for Women. "I've found that it is a step-by-step process. You can wish for a million and one things. But I hope that my son has the same energy I had as a child. Hopefully, he won't be as bad as me. I hope that he's just a healthy son."
In August, Usher had already picked out a name if the baby turned out to be a boy.
"If it's a boy, I'm going to name him Usher," the musician said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." "I'm hoping to name him that. I've been playing with a few names. I'm the fourth. Usher Raymond IV. I just want to pass the name on. Maybe I'll change the middle name."
Foster, 37, was the 28-year-old singer's personal stylist for many years before they began dating seriously about a year and a half ago. They got hitched in a quiet ceremony in Atlanta in August. This will be Foster's fourth child.
Usher has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide and has won five Grammys. His hits include "You Make Me Wanna," "U Got It Bad," "My Boo" (with Alicia Keys), "Burn," "Confessions" and "Yeah!" He's due to release his latest album in the fall.
His film credits "She's All That," "Light It Up," "The Faculty," "Texas Rangers" and "In the Mix."
