Usher and longtime partner Jenn Goicoechea got married in Las Vegas just hours after the R&B singer’s Super Bowl half-time show.
According to officials and documents, the couple tied the knot on Sunday at Vegas Weddings.
Witnesses included Usher’s mother, Jonnetta Patton and the officiant who carried out the ceremony, the Rev Ronald Joseph Polrywka is known to dress up as Elvis Presley.”Congratulations to the newlyweds!” chapel owner Melody Willis-Williams said in a statement. “We were beyond thrilled to host in this epic day for Usher and his new wife.”
The statement added: “As much as we love love, this is the couple’s news to share any further details on. We’ll always be fans of Usher! Yeah!”
