Usher [1] is a household name thanks to all of his performing talents, but in his own home, he's dad to three — soon to be four! — kids. The artist shares two sons with his ex-wife Tameka Foster, as well as a daughter with girlfriend Jenn Goicoechea, who is pregnant with the couple's second baby.
Usher and Jenn announced that they were expecting again at the 2021 iHeart Radio Music Awards, which Usher hosted. "'Another One' in my [DJ Khaled] voice," Jenn captioned a photo from the award show that showed off her growing bump.

Usher Raymond V
Usher [3]'s oldest child — his first with Tameka — was born on Nov. 26, 2007. He shares his full name with his dad, making him the fifth generation of Usher Raymonds, but his nicknames include Ush and URV.
On his 13th birthday in 2020, Usher shared sweet words about his oldest [4] becoming a teenager in the blink of an eye. "You wanna be grown...so fast!! Slow down...I love my lil man, and am missing those days one year at a time," he wrote. "I love you Kiddo...you are my favourite 13 year old in the world....thank you for not forgetting where you came from.☺️ You growing everyday into the young man I knew you had it in you to be. Here's to another one. I love you til the end."
According to Tameka's yearly birthday posts for her son, Ush has a variety of interests [5], from gaming to golf.
Naviyd Ely Raymond
Usher [6] and Tameka's second child together, Naviyd, was born on Dec. 11, 2008, just over a year after his older brother.
In honour of Nav's 12th birthday, Usher gushed about his second born in an Instagram post. "I love you son with all my heart...YOU are my favourite 12 year old. Bold and courageous . . . you bring light to every room your in," he wrote. "You are thoughtful, you are faithful and I commend you for it. Everything went your way today...why, because you planned and prepared for it. With detail written instruction . . . the family lawyer, great debater, P I and then some. Singer, dancer, playwrite, "Mr. C & T" 🎭 My Fellow Thespian! Continue to know what you want and who you are!! . . Luck favours the prepared and you are beyond special to me and all whom love you understand the feeling."
According to Tameka's Instagram, Nav is quite the poet. In March 2020, Naviyd won a poetry contest, and apparently performed his poem "in an English cockney accent."
Sovereign Bo Raymond
Usher [7]'s third child — and Jenn's first — a daughter named Sovereign [8], was born on Sept. 30, 2020. The singer announced his daughter's birth with a sweet photo posted to Instagram of her tiny hand clutching his finger. "We are feeling blessed and full of love with the arrival of our beautiful baby girl, Sovereign Bo Raymond," he wrote. "'Isn't She lovely' by Stevie Wonder on repeat."
Sovereign's due date was originally Nov. 11 [9], so both parents were surprised by her early arrival. On that day, Usher [10] shared a photo of his newborn, writing: "Happy 11:11 Sovereign . . . today was the day I thought you would arrive. You had a different plan."
A day before announcing Jenn's second pregnancy at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards in May, Usher shared the meaning behind Sovereign's unique name [11]. "Sovereign is such a beautiful word and name to me. 'A supreme ruler' is obviously the defined name," he said. "She's definitely ruling the household, but Sovereign Bo . . . Bo is at the end of it, so, my little Reign-Bo."
