Usher and Fiance Expecting Baby

This is going to prove to be a very busy year for Usher. Not only is he planning his wedding to his fiance, Tameka Foster, but they are expecting their first baby together this fall. As told to the Associated Press, www.ap.org "We are extremely excited at this point in our lives planning our wedding and the joy that comes with expecting our first child together". They also added "We hope people will be happy for us and respect our privacy during this happy period in our lives". The baby news has been featured on www.celebritybabyblog.com as well.

Not only is Usher getting married and is about to become a father for the first time but his career is also keeping him very busy at the present time. He is releasing a new fragrance with his name attached to it that is due out in September of this year. His new CD, which is a follow up to the eight million selling, Grammy winning "Confessions" that was released in 2005 is due in stores later this year as well. Talk about busy!!

Usher is well known among the hip hop community for such songs as "My Way", "U Got It Bad", "Yeah", "My Boo" and "Let's Straigten It Out". He has been quoted on www.usherworld.com as saying "With every album, I try to better myself". So far, that statement rings very true. In 2006, Usher had a good run on Broadway in the show "Chicago". Usher has also acted in several different movies and TV shows. He has been on "Saturday Night Live" as well as other shows. He is a dancer as well so I guess you can say that he is quite the performer. At one point, Usher had his own credit card as well. He is everywhere!!

Although this is Usher's first baby, it is Foster's fourth child. She is recently divorced. The two got engaged earlier this year according to People magazine, www.people.com . Foster started dating Usher while legally separated from her husband, Noontime Music's co founder, Ryan Glover. Foster is a wardrobe stylist to the stars. She has worked with such people as Toni Braxton, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, Lauryn Hill and Patti LaBelle. She has also worked with Usher until his mother fired her because they were found to be dating.

Usher is 28 years old and Foster is 37 years old. He found himself an older woman!! Another Hollywood trend that has seemed to catch on quickly. Speculation is that she was pregnant when they got engaged. Good luck to both of them.
