Usher’s Super Bowl Weekend: Halftime Show, New Album, and Secret Wedding
It has been an eventful weekend for Usher. The 45-year-old American singer and performer wowed audiences with his halftime show at the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 11. He took the stage at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, performing in front of 70,000 spectators in the stadium and over 100 million viewers around the world. This performance marked one of the highlights of his career. Additionally, Usher released his first album in six years just 48 hours before his big halftime show.
But the surprises didn’t stop there. On Monday afternoon, it was revealed that Usher had tied the knot with his partner of five years, music executive Jennifer Goicoechea, during the same weekend. People magazine reported exclusively that the couple had requested a marriage license on Thursday before the big event. The couple wasted no time and got married on Sunday, the same day as Usher’s Super Bowl performance. His left hand with a gold wedding ring made an appearance, confirming the news.
The joyous occasion continued into the night with a post-Super Bowl party that Usher organized at the Cathédrale restaurant in Nevada City. Both Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea arrived dressed in all white, and a friend congratulated them publically during the celebration. Eventually, Usher took the microphone and expressed his happiness to those in attendance.
Usher and Goicoechea began their relationship around 2019. Goicoechea, 40, is originally from Miami, Florida, and has a solid background in the music industry. She comes from a family where entertainment runs in their blood, with music and event production being part of her family history. The couple shares two children, a daughter named Sovereign Bo and a son named Sire Castrello.
This marks Usher’s third marriage. He has expressed his deep connection to Goicoechea publicly, describing her as his “incredible partner” and his best friend. Usher also opened up about the possibility of getting married in a recent interview, saying it wouldn’t be strange given their lifelong commitment and family.
Usher’s Super Bowl weekend was indeed unforgettable, marking not only a professional high point in his career but also the start of a new chapter in his personal life.
