Who Is Jenn Goicoechea?
Jenn Goicoechea met Usher soon after he split from his second wife, Grace Harry. Usher first walked down the aisle when he married Tameka Foster, an American fashion stylist. The former spouses tied the knot in 2007 before going their separate ways in 2009.
The "Confessions" singer moved on after his divorce and met businesswoman Grace Harry. They became husband and wife in 2015; however, their marriage ended about three years later in 2018.
Usher has not yet walked down the aisle again since he split from his ex-wives. He has been in a relationship with Goicoechea for about three years. The pair started a relationship in October 2019 after they were spotted at the Hollywood Bowl.
Goicoechea and Usher's relationship has been quite public, which has been the norm for the R&B singer, who has always made his romances public. There's been much interest around Goicoechea, with her partner's fans wanting to know more about her and if she's "the one."
Besides being partners and building a life together, Goicoechea and Usher make names for themselves in the music industry. Usher's girlfriend, in particular, has cemented herself as one of the most well-known music executives in the music world.

Their First Baby
Jenn Goicoechea and Usher didn't waste time becoming parents after they started dating. The pair announced they would have their first child together in early 2020, a few months after they got together. Their child was Usher's third, as he has two children from his first marriage with Foster.
The couple's firstborn was a bouncing baby girl, born on September 30, 2020. The "No Limit" hitmaker took to Instagram to announce the birth of his baby girl. Goicoechea's boyfriend shared a photo that showed him holding his newborn daughter's tiny hands and revealing her name in the caption. He wrote:
"We are feeling blessed and full of love with the arrival of our beautiful baby girl, Sovereign Bo Raymond. 'Isn't She lovely' by Stevie Wonder on repeat."
News that the couple was expecting became public about a month before their baby arrived. At the end of August 2020, Us Weekly revealed that a source close to the pair said they were thrilled and "very excited" about the news.
Usher's girlfriend was also spotted showing her baby bump while leaving a production studio with her boyfriend that same month. Goicoechea's baby daddy explained in 2021 the inspiration behind their daughter's name Sovereign Bo.
The doting dad shared that the name Sovereign means "supreme ruler," and their baby girl was "ruling the household" at the time. He said the other name, Bo, means that she's his "little 'reign-bo.'"
Their Second Baby
Jenn Goicoechea and Usher expanded their family about a year later when they had their second child together. Goicoechea gave birth to their son on September 29, 2021.
