R&B singer Usher’s divorce from his wife is final

ATLANTA — R&B singer Usher’s divorce from his wife is final.

Fulton County Superior Court spokeswoman Jada Hudspeth says a final decree in the divorce case was issued Wednesday.

Usher, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV, filed for divorce from Tameka Raymond on June 12. He claimed there was “no reasonable hope of reconciliation” and the marriage was “irretrievably broken.”

Lawyers for both declined to comment Friday.

The couple have two young sons, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely Raymond. Usher was seeking joint custody of the boys, but it was not immediately clear whether a custody arrangement had been reached.

The couple married in August 2007 in a lavish ceremony just outside Atlanta in front of about 200 people.
