“Congrats to the newlyweds in the building!” producer Bryan-Michael Cox exclaimed as the duo entered the USHER x Rémy Martin Post-Performance Dinner Party held at Cathédrale Las Vegas. “One time for everybody here … let’s go!”
Usher told People in an interview before his Super Bowl performance that he made a “commitment” to Goicoechea. “Listen, when you find someone that you know is a great partner, of course it is an honor and a pleasure to be able to share life with someone who wants to share it with you and loves you, who you are,” he said.
He continued, “We’ve obviously made a commitment to life for life together because of our children. It wouldn’t be odd for us to get married. We already did here. You know what I’m saying?… And we’re going to be in each other’s lives until we die, obviously, because we have something to share. That’s beautiful. Our children. But not because of that. I really do feel like I have an amazing partner that I respect.”
Usher also opened up about what his relationship with Goicoechea has taught him. “I started this journey, I found and met an amazing partner who happened to be my best friend and was there all the time, and I was like, wow, this could be great,” he said.
He also called Goicoechea one of his biggest supporters. “I have an amazing partner, a support system,” he said. “We have an amazing dynamic between our relationship where I’m able to be passionate still about what I do and have an incredible partner to work through some of the harder times as a young man dealing with children and dealing with the dynamic of how you communicate with them.”
