The couple, who have been together for five years and have two young children, invited Usher's mother, Jonnetta Patton, to serve as a witness during the ceremony. Rev. Ronald Joseph Polrywka, who is popularly known as Elvis impersonator Ron DeCar, officiated the wedding.
A representative for Usher confirmed the news, stating that the couple was thrilled to have taken this significant step in their relationship. They expressed their gratitude for the support and well wishes they received and look forward to continuing to raise their children together surrounded by love.
Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea seemingly hinted at their wedding plans while celebrating in Las Vegas later that night.

Following the release of court documents in Clark County, it was revealed that the couple had obtained a marriage license in Las Vegas the previous week. The news quickly spread, and images of Usher donning a wedding ring began to circulate online, further confirming their nuptials.
This marks Usher's second marriage, having previously been married to fashion designer Tameka Foster. The former couple share two sons, Usher "Cinco" Raymond V, 16, and Navid Ely, 15.
