The 8-time Grammy winner Usher has a history of failed marriages; however, it seems his life with his third wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, is sailing smoothly. He mentions she is his comfort after a tiring day, making him want to return home happily.
Jennifer Goicoechea and Usher’s dating history goes back to 2019 when the singer was having trouble with his second marriage to Grace Miguel and preparing for a divorce.
Meanwhile, the R&B staple singer came under public attention with his then-girlfriend, now wife Jennifer, in June 2019 and was later confirmed in October 2019, when fans saw them kissing backstage at the Hollywood Bowl.
It was before he finalized his second divorce in October 2020. Ever since then, Usher has never stopped showing his love and respect for Jennifer.
In an interview with the New York Post, the Yeah singer said that after spending much of his time outdoors, Usher wants to go home to his wife and children, who have nothing but happiness for him.
Jennifer Goicoechea was working at ASCAP when she met with Usher in 2014
Before gaining fame as the wife of the OMG singer Usher, Jennifer Goicoechea was a renowned name in the music industry as the assistant to singer Ciara and Director at ASCAP from 2014-2016.
Jennifer Goicoechea is a 34-year-old Miami-native music executive who was born to mixed-culture parents on October 13, 1986.
Her mother, Barbara Kearney Goicoechea, is Italian, while her father is Puerto Rican, so she has a mixed ethnicity. Also, as she is from Atlanta, Georgia, Jennifer is of American nationality.
Walking through the journey, Jennifer mentioned that her mother, Barbara, an accomplished production manager at Act Productions since 1988, played a huge role in fostering her interest in music.
Jennifer had just graduated from Full Sail University in 2004 with a bachelor’s in Recording Arts when she entered her mother’s company.
She successfully overshadowed her mother’s role and landed a position as Ciara’s assistant, which pushed her career as a musical talent seeker and sculptor. This eventually gave rise to Boogs’N’Effect Management, Jennifer’s own management company.
Later, she started working for ASCAP as the director of the Rhythm and Soul division. In 2014, when she was in this position, she uploaded a picture with Usher on her Instagram.
Then came another photo of them together in 2016, followed by another in 2018, although their relationship remained vague at the time.
However, Usher and Jennifer officially accepted they were dating in December 2020, when they came out as a couple and went to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ birthday in LA.
During their announcement, Jennifer Goicoechea worked as the Senior vice president of A&R at Epic Records, a position she still holds, although a dedicated Wikipedia has yet to cover all of her life endeavors.
