Usher May Be a Free Man -- Officially

Posted Oct 21st 2009 11:58AM by TMZ Staff

It appears Usher may have officially ended his marriage to Tameka Foster Raymond. We just found out the status of the divorce changed in the official record to "Disposed." A court official tells TMZ when a divorce case is "Disposed" it typically means the divorce is final.



The couple married in August, 2007. They have two small kids together.

A source connected with the couple tells TMZ Usher signed the divorce papers in August, but the change in the court file occurred today.

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with Tameka's lawyer who tells us despite what the court record says, "The case being 'disposed' is incorrect.'"

A rep for Tameka adds, "They are still married."

4. How can you say "MAY be final" and put an exclusive on there? Harvey was absent the day they taught journalism. Email me if you want to know more about the inner workings of this sham 'news org'.

6. sorry to say, but this is one celebrity marriage i knew wouldn't last... yes, mixed families do work, but she already had like, 3 or 4 children, his family (especially his mother) did not like her, plus rumours were going around she was only in it for the money...
like someone else said, he should have listened to his mama! lol...

7. Lamar should have learned from Usher. Khloe is no different than Tameka. They are both gold digging ho's. Look what you have to look forward to Lamar, pain, misery and torture not necessarily in that order.

8. WTF was he thinking anyway!!! She is a gold digger, and his mom was right!!! Sometimes you have to listen your family.

9. Yeah, Jack, I agree. Khloe loses 20 lbs and jumps on the first guy that would marry her. What a d.ickhead he is. What a fat gold digger she is.

And as far as Usher goes, I think he deserved way better than that ugly gold digger.

You men need to think with your big head, not your little head.

I know you types and believe this, they will bring you DOWN. And I don't mean DOWN in a way you enjoy.

11. TMZ, look at the number 1 Trending Topic... Report on THAT plz.

12. Happy, you're right. Khloe is going to put the weight back on within a couple of months. The only thing worse than a gold digger is a fat gold digger. Lamar gets what he deserves. He may not mind a fat gold digger though, just look at his baby mama. Money and brains rarely go together.

Usher did deserve better. He turned his back on his mother when she said don't marry her and look how right she was. Blood is always thicker than water. Now he's got two kids with her and although divorced will still have to deal (and pay) her for many years. Stupid is as stupid does.

13. Well in all honesty when he first started dating her I was shocked, nothing against her but she looked too old for him. We just all assumed he would have some hot girl his age or younger. If it was love it would of lasted regardless but it wasn't so now we will have to see who will be Usher's new girl. :)

14. It's about time Usher!! Now get back to work!! lol

15. This woman is no "golddigger". Usher had the right to marry whomever he wanted and his choice was Tameka Foster. Sometimes, meddling families can be the source of discontent in any marriage. This is really too bad because I'd hope that this would have lasted. Usher's mother is the problem in his relationships with women. Some mothers do not want their sons to have wives because they feel that they are being replaced, which is very weird. Some people will tell others, "Listen to me I know what I'm talking about." Although they were given the same advice and paid it no heed. It isn't normal for people to attempt to control one another.
