Meet Sovereign Bo Raymond And All Usher’s Children
Sovereign Nancy Bo Raymond
Usher’s daughter, Sovereign Bo was born on September 24, 2020. She is the first child the singer shares with his girlfriend Jenn Goicoechea.
Her parents started dating after Usher’s second marriage crashed. They were first seen hanging out at the backstage of Hollywood Bowl and later, at Kreation organic Juicery in West Hollywood in 2019.
Sovereign Bo is currently 4 years old.
Usher Raymond Jr. or Cinco
Usher’s oldest son Usher Raymond Jr. is also known as Cinco. He was born in 2007 to the musician and his ex-wife, Tameka Foster.
Usher Jr. is not as interested in his father’s fame as his brother, Naviyd. In fact, his father once revealed he doesn’t want to be called Usher Jr.
Naviyd Ely Raymond
Usher’s oldest son Naviyd was born in 2008. He is the second child Usher and Tameka had during their marriage.
Unlike his brother, Naviyd has an interest in entertainment. His father has revealed that the 16-year-old watches shows and gives him notes. Regardless of his interest in entertainment, Naviyd has lamented about not getting his father’s name like his older brother Usher V, who ironically, doesn’t like to be called ‘Usher’, hence he tries to get away from it.

Usher and his long-time girlfriend, Jenn Goicoechea welcomed their second child on September 29, 2021. The proud father of four announced the birth of his fourth child via social media adding that Sire weighed 7lbs 13oz.

Usher Raymond’s Relationship with the Mothers of his Children
The Bad Habits artist and his first wife, Tameka Foster began dating in November 2005 while she was still working as his personal stylist. The pair got engaged in February 2007.
After being married for two years, the former couple divorced in 2009 but their highly publicized child custody spanned three years.
Following the divorce, Usher was awarded primary custody of Usher V and Naviyd. This was after Usher’s attorney argued in court that Foster was incapable of being a proper parent. Also, the attorney argued that she does not have the emotional stability or capacity to raise the boys.
Ironically, in August 2013, Usher V got hospitalized in the intensive care unit after he got stuck in a drain while swimming in a pool in his father’s home. As a result of that, his mother had to file a request for an emergency custody hearing seeking temporary primary custody. However, the case was dismissed and Usher retained primary custody of his boys.
As for his second marriage, he never had any child with his then-wife Grace Miguel before they divorced in 2018.
Usher is currently dating the mother of two younger children, music executive Jenn Goicoechea. The pair have been spotted together at several events and family celebrations. It is obvious that Usher and Jenn are raising all four children together.
Sovereign and Sire’s mother has been working as a music executive since 2014. She has worked as the director of rhythm and soul at ASCAP. She now works as a senior director at A&R Epic Records.
