Usher recently told PEOPLE that he is open to the idea of marrying Goicoeche, noting that the couple is already bonded over the two children they share: daughter Sovereign Bo, 3, and son Sire Castrello, 2.
“Obviously, we made a lifelong commitment to our children,” explained the Grammy winner, who also has two teenage sons, Usher V and Navid Ely, with ex-wife Tameka Foster. “It wouldn’t be weird if we got married. We’re already here. You know what I’m saying?”

Usher and Goichoechea, a music industry executive, first sparked dating rumors in June 2019 after they were photographed together at producer Keith Richards’ birthday party.
In November 2023, Usher told PEOPLE that he felt “lucky” to have his then-girlfriend by his side in his life, calling her his “support system.”
“I’m very lucky, very lucky to have an amazing friend and not just a partner,” he said. – She is my best friend and I love her.
