How many children does Usher have?

Usher has four children. He has two children with his girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, and two others from a previous relationship.

His fourth child, Sire Castrello Raymond was born on September 29, 2021.

Usher announced the birth on Instagram, sharing an up-close black and white photo of the baby’s lips and nose.

The caption read, “Hi my name is Sire Castrello Raymond … I am the newest addition to the Raymond crew. I was born Sept 29 2021 at 6:42 pm weighing 7lbs 13oz. Hear me roar … A.K.A Ra Ra Gang.”

The pair had a daughter named Sovereign Bo, who was born in September 2020.

Usher has two boys named Naviyd Ely and Usher V with his ex-wife Tameka Foster.

What has Usher said about being a father?

In an appearance on Good Morning America in July 2021, Usher revealed he is “loving being a girl dad” about his daughter Sovereign.

He added that he “can’t wait” for his fourth child that was on the way.

“I’m definitely enjoying this little baby boom of ours.”

“This new addition to the family has just been exciting.”

In February 2024, Usher opened up about fatherhood on the Club Shay Shay podcast.

He told Shannon Sharpe that he has struggled with supporting his children, while also not taking attention away from them.

“My kids – sometimes, they don’t want me to come. They don’t want me to be at their basketball game or their recital, or they wanna be very, very low-key, ‘cause they don’t want that energy,” he said.

Usher added, “And it’s hard because I try my hardest to have that empathy, but I wanna be there.”
