As Usher prepares to perform during the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, many fans are wondering about the R&B star’s girlfriend and key supporter, Jenn Goicoechea.
According to multiple outlets, Usher and Goicoechea were first linked in October 2019. Because Usher was a music executive, he likely met his girlfriend through mutual connections within the industry.
According to her LinkedIn, Goicoechea has been ASCAP’s rhythm and soul director. In that position, she is responsible for discovering and nurturing urban (Hip-Hop/R&B) songwriters, composers, and music publishers. She is also responsible for maintaining relationships in the entertainment industry and managing budgets for activations in SE markets.
Before starting out in the entertainment industry, Usher’s girlfriend followed his mother, Barbara. According PEOPLE, Barbara has been Director of Operations at ACT Productions, a Miami multimedia and event production company, since 1988. Following her mother, Jenn was able to land the position of assistant to singer Ciara.
Since the beginning of their relationship, Jenn has been a key support for Usher. In 2020, they welcomed their first child, Sovereign Bo. This was her first child and Usher’s third. Just over a year later, they welcomed her second child, Sire Castrello.
Before dating Jenn, Usher married his ex-girlfriend and manager Grace Migue in 2015. They ended their marriage in 2018 and had no children together. He shares two sons, Usher V and Naviyd, with his first wife, Tameka Foster, to whom he was married from 2007 to 2009.
Usher has praised his girlfriend and ‘best friend’ Jenn Goicoechea for her balanced parenting style.
During a 2022 interview with Angie Martinez IRL Podcast, Usher opened up about his relationship with his girlfriend Jenn Goicoechea.
“I have an incredible partner in life, Jennifer Goicoechea,” he explained. “Yes, my mom likes it and she loves it too. It’s hard to do that too, those two things.”
Usher also had nothing but praise for Goicoechea for creating a balance in their parenting styles. “She’s better than me at that in many ways,” he reportedly claimed. “I’m a man-man, so I’m like, ‘This is what we’re doing,’ and I might be a little more disciplinarian sometimes. If there is a slap and a hug, I am the slap and she is the hug. But that creates balance.”
Usher then showed his gratitude by saying, “I’m very happy, very lucky to have an amazing friend, not just a partner. “She is my best friend and I love her.”
