Usher Raymond V, now 17-months-old, is so adorable! His daddy, R&B singer, Usher, 30, isn't too hard on the eyes either. The father-son duo enjoyed some sun, sand and surf, with friends in South Beach on Tuesday, April 28.

Usher's wife, Tameka Foster didn't join them - she was home, caring for their infant son, Naviyd Ely Raymond. She's also mom to three older sons from a previous relationship.

Usher and his tot were returning from Washington - Usher has announced he's fronting a United Nations drive - teaming with the Nothing But Nets campaign - to fight malaria in Africa.

He said, "I am proud to be a part of an exciting partnership with the United Nations Foundation and its Nothing But Nets campaign. This initiative sends an important message: youth, regardless of their backgrounds, can make a difference in this world by taking action through service to save lives. Anyone can make a difference. All it takes is $10 to send a net and save a life."

Saturday, April 25 was World Malaria Day.

Usher is a great role model for his boys! He and wife Tameka Foster have two sons together - their youngest, Naviyd Ely Raymond, was born in December of last year - and she has three older sons from a previous relationship.

Usher Parties With Strippers, Forgets He's Married With Kids (Photos)

Sassy Smith — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:05:00 GMT

Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, suffered cardiac arrest and put in a medically-induced coma, after complications from a reported tummy-tuck, last month. She had flown to Brazil to have the operation just two months after giving birth to her fifth son (second with Usher). Luckily, she survived and is now at home, recovering. And of course, Usher, is by his wife's side - and by wife's side, I mean he was in Paris, partying with strippers.

Pics after the jump

Usher, 30, was seen at the VIP Room in Paris last weekend, getting cozy with dancers (I use that term loosely) and judging by the photos, you can tell he's thinking of his wife - you know the one recovering from a heart attack. I'm sure she's probably well enough by now to be caring for the couple's two babies, as well as her older three sons. Glad Usher is able to move on from their medical scare. Hey, we all deal with things differently. Some of us support our loved ones in their time of need, and others drink, dance, spray champagne on dancers, take photos and be merry.

Sure, Tameka was reckless by electing to have surgery so soon after the birth of her baby, but perhaps there's more going on than we know? Maybe Usher has a track record of partying with hot, young women and his wife was feeling insecure and she felt desperate to regain her pre-baby figure?

Although we don't know what's happening behind closed doors, Usher should be putting his wife and children first. I'm sure his kids might need him now, more than ever, while their mom recovers.

I'm all for women who want to look their best and if that means a little nip-tuck, so be it. However, I have to wonder what kind of mother would put her life in danger to have a flat stomach? Would Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, be so desperate to get back to her pre-baby body just two months after giving birth to her fifth son, that she would risk death?

Foster, who gave birth to her fifth son (second with Usher), on December 10, was apparently anxious to have a flat tummy, and flew to Brazil to have plastic surgery. She didn't bother (reportedly) to tell her husband and lied to doctors, telling them she had given birth four months ago, not two.

What a price she paid! Tameka suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest before the surgery, and was then put in a coma to stablize her condition. Usher, who was preparing for the Annual Pre-Grammy party, canceled his appearance, and flew to be by his wife's side. It's believed that neurosurgeon Dr. Gabriel Hunt of Cedars-Sinai Clinic accompanied Usher, to look into what happened.

Tameka has since been released from the hospital and is doing well. Usher has not made any public comment to date, other than having his rep release a statement, asking the public for privacy during their difficult time.

From Softpedia.com:

The President of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, Jose Tariki, apparently told the New York Daily News that Tameka lied to the doctors by telling them she had had a baby four months before coming for surgery, when in fact, only two had passed. “After a pregnancy, the abdomen muscle is violently stretched, becomes flaccid and swells. The patient needs six to eight months to return to normal and only then can undergo surgery.” Tariki explained.

Tameka is one lucky woman, that she pulled through this. It could have ended in tragedy, and five boys would be without a mother. Sure, what woman doesn't want a nice, flat tummy after she's had a baby, but honestly, that can wait! A flat stomach is not worth dying for.

Usher Cancels Performance Due To "Serious Family Injury"

Update: Usher's Wife Suffers Cardiac Arrest

Sassy Smith — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:05:00 GMT

We told you that Usher cancelled a recent scheduled appearance at a pre-Grammy party due to a "serious family injury," which turned out to be his wife's complications from liposuction.

From OK! Magazine:

Brazilian news website G1 is reporting that Foster, 38, was rushed to the Sirio-Libanes Hospital's intensive care unit last Friday after a medical emergency during a liposuction operation. Foster reportedly suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest as she was being anesthetized for the procedure. She was put into an induced coma for 24 hours and was now recovering, according to the website.

G1 reported that a US neuro-surgeon from the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Gabriel Hunt, was handling her case. He left the Sao Paulo hospital late Monday without giving comment.

A spokesperson for Sirio-Libanes Hospital in Sao Paulo told AFP, "The family has demanded total privacy. The hospital is barred from giving any information."

Usher's spokeswoman, Simone Smalls, tells OK! that Tameka "is in stable condition. Her husband is with her at the hospital. The family requests privacy at this difficult time." Smalls confirmed that Foster had been admitted to the facility, which is considered the top hospital in Brazil, saying she was "suffered complications from routine surgery in Brazil." Usher, 30, has cancelled concerts in the U.S. and rushed to Brazil to be by his wife's side.

I hope she's okay - she's got five sons who need their mother. But I have to ask - was it irresponsible of her to undergo such a procedure just two months after giving birth to her son (second son with Usher)? Sure, most moms are anxious to get back to their pre-baby body or something close to it, but honestly, that's taking it a bit far isn't it, to have liposuction so soon...or at all)? Her priorities should be those boys not whether she can fit into her "size whatever" jeans. I do wish her well, but let's hope as she recovers, she remembers what's truly important - and it isn't about a number on the scale.

R&B star Usher was supposed to perform at a pre-Grammy party Saturday night but he had to cancel due to a family emergency.

From TMZ:

A family emergency caused Usher to 86 his performance at a pre-Grammy party last night -- and one report claims it's because his wife is in trouble after having cosmetic surgery.

Music bigwig Clive Davis announced at his Pre-Grammy Bash that Usher's cancellation was due to a "serious injury in the family" -- and according to Access Hollywood, his wife Tameka had "experienced complications from plastic surgery" in Brazil.

Access claims a neurosurgeon is on the way to South America to assist Tameka -- who gave birth to their second child back in December.

Tameka and Usher were spotted at a night club just a few short weeks after Tameka had given birth to son Naviyd and she looked pretty darn good for just popping a baby out - do you suppose she really did have plastic surgery so soon after having a baby? How can that be safe?

Hopefully she's OK! She is a mom of five boys who need her very much!

R&B hottie Usher and his wife Tameka Foster - who he has apparently not split with despite rumors to the contrary - will welcome their second baby on December 15.

Usher and Tameka who have son Usher Raymon V together, turning one on November 26, will be parents to a second son, just in time for the holidays!

Said the Love in This Club's singer, "We're actually expecting, if you didn't hear, in December. One of the best Christmas gifts there is to have!" Oh he's right about that. He said the birth will make the "best Christmas present ever."

Usher has previously said that he's always wanted to have kids early in his life.

He said, "I'm so proud to be a father before I reached 30. I'd hate to be 80 years old and not be able to run with my kids. I need to still be able to do flips when they're in high school!"

Tameka said of baby Usher, "He's like a hyper baby - he's crawling so fast! He stands up, and he's walking around the table... it's amazing to watch him. I've never seen a baby crawl so fast! I call him Dash, like on 'The Incredibles'!"

Oh I had one of those myself! Congrats on their happy news.

It's rumored that Usher and his pregnant wife, Tameka Foster have split for good despite putting on a happy face in recent public appearances. Now comes word that Usher might have a new flame....

According to reports, Usher may be spending time with former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland. Usher has apparently moved on from Tameka and getting cozy with his new 'celeb friend.' Kelly has been known to have a crush on Usher and the two have partied in London together.

Well, if Usher has fallen out of love with his wife, I hope he at least breaks it off for good before hooking up with someone else! And they've got kids to consider now too.

Usher's wife Tameka is due next month with their second child. Their son Usher Raymond V was born last year.

Usher & Tameka Foster Split For Good?

Sassy Smith — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:08:00 GMT

It seems like every other week there are rumors of R&B superstar, Usher and his wife, Tameka Foster, splitting up. But now it seems like those rumors could be true, even though Tameka is pregnant with their second child. And is Usher seeing another woman?

It's being reported that Usher and Tameka no longer live in the same house together. A source close to the couple say that Tameka is now 6 months pregnant with their second child together, and that they actually broke up months ago, but Tameka is holding out hope that they will reconcile.

As well, the insider says that they will not divorce right now because it would "reflect badly on his image."

Usher was to be a guest of honor at Tyler Perry's Grand Opening last weekend, but he didn't how. Tameka walked the red carpet alone, and according to eye witnesses, she looked sad despite putting on a brave face.

And Usher was spotted leaving a Paris Hotel with another woman, and then while out with his son at a park, he's with an unidentified woman, who's kissing baby Usher. The plot thickens....

The couple were married in 2007, the same year Usher Raymond V was born.

There were, once again, rumors swirling that Usher and his wife Tameka Foster, and this time for good. However, that particular rumor is false (bad news for Usher fans, who apparently don't like the sexy R&B singer's wife), but on a high note, the other rumor IS true - Usher WILL be a daddy again!

Usher and Tameka are expecting their second child together and both are very excited! Baby will come sometime in December.

Tameka was spotted cheering on Usher as he performed at the NFL Kick-Off Pre Show, and later the couple was seen laughing and joking together - guess there's no trouble in Usher's paradise.

Congrats on the new baby!

R&B hottie, Usher and his wife Tameka Foster, are reportedly expecting their second child together BUT the couple is splitting!

There have been D.I.V.O.R.C.E. rumors before about Usher and his apparently controlling, older wife, Tameka, however, it might just be true this time.

The couple were married in 2007, and have one son together, Usher Raymond V. Their second child is rumored to be due in December.

This may make a lot of Usher's fans happy - many didn't seem to like Tameka very much. We'll see how this one plays out.

Baby is 7-months-old, daddy is a singing sensation (and pretty sexy too!)....any guesses? OMG - look at that face - cutest baby ever!

Usher's son, Usher Jr. is apparently a going concern! Usher's wife, Tameka Foster spoke about the couple's baby at the 2008 HollyRod Foundation 10th Annual DesignCare Fundraiser.

She said of her busy baby:

"He’s like hyper baby — he’s crawling so fast! He stands up, and he’s walking around the table … it’s amazing to watch him,I’ve never seen a baby crawl so fast! I call him Dash, like on the Incredibles!

We’re just scared because the baby knows how to get off the bed already, so our bed is like a gigantic crib because we have rails. It’s hilarious!” Foster added. “Can you imagine a king-size crib?”

And she and Usher would love to have more babes too!

“I’d love to have more, we just gotta make the time."

Oh make more - you two make beautiful babes!

Usher Cried When His Son Was Born & He Wants A Baby Girl Too

Sassy Smith — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Usher's interview with RWDmag.com is very eye-opening. The R&B singer dishes on his career, his mom, his wife Tameka, and being a dad. Oh, and he addresses that little rumor about his wife being pregnant!

When asked what kind of father he is and if he witnessed the birth of his son, Usher, he said, "Of course! Won’t be there for your child’s birth, what? It wasn’t gory at all – I cut the cord and everything. It was the realest tear I ever cried. It was uncontrollable; when I heard his voice, I just cried (snaps fingers) like that. I don’t know who or what he’s going to be, but he’s going to be something special. He’s magic to me, he breaks me all the way down. I’m the goofiest dad ever – I’m doing backflips in front of him and spinning on my head and he’s laughing at me."

Aww, melts the heart doesn't it?

More snippets from the interview:

RWD: How was your wedding day?
Oh, it was great; very sunny, very beautiful, very positive. We had a great time with great food and great music. Doug E Fresh performed, he rocked the house for us. We had D-Nice on the wheels of steel and Layla Hathaway sang for us when we – well, she – walked down the aisle. It was nice.

Melissa: Is it true there’s another on the way or is it just showbiz rumours?
Well, actually I heard that rumour today that Tameka’s pregnant. She’s not – I wish – but she’s not pregnant. I want a little girl. That first pregnancy was pretty hard, I’m surprised that I even survived! Having a pregnant woman and making an album at the same time? ‘I need ice.’ ‘But baby I’m in the booth.’ But nah, it’s a beautiful experience. If I do have another child, I’d hope it was a baby girl, but I’m fine with my baby boy, I love him. I love him so much.

Jonte: How’s your relationship with your mum? Why did you sack her?
The relationship is great. There have been some rumours that my mother, um, and I separated on a negative. It was more that a lot of things changed, I wanted to handle my business myself. So I asked my mother to become more of a support, like it’s time for you to be Grandma, not just the protector of Usher. There’s been talk about negativity between Tameka and my mum. I found that kinda difficult seeing as my mom did Tameka’s baby shower.

RWD: We had questions from certain readers commenting on Tameka. How do you feel about the criticism you’ve both received?
You know, drama sells. If you think about the concept, in it’s simplest form; you mean to tell me you’re mad at me for being a husband to my wife, a father to my child? That makes no sense. Most people would be noted for drugs or just being horrible in life. And I get highlighted for doing the right thing (laughs). I love my wife, I love my child and they are the centre of my life.

To read the article in full, go here. I'm guessing this means Usher and Tameka aren't divorcing!

R&B superstar and new dad Usher and his wife Tameka have split! Sources close to the singer have confirmed the separation from his wife of only 9 months. They have a 6 month old son Usher Raymond V.

An insider claims that the pair actually split 3 weeks ago. Reportedly Usher is torn on whether to make "an official" statement or let the news leak. His new album is being released in less than a week, his second video hit the internet today and his album "leaked" yesterday. Timing anyone?

Sources have said for months that Tameka is very controlling, doesn't get along with Mama Usher and that this breakup was inevitable (and a sham to begin with). There's also rumors floating around that baby Usher V is not his. Yikes! Where's Maury when you need him?

Hopefully whatever happens, they'll put that baby first.

Usher Won't Pimp Out His Baby Boy

R & B superstar Usher refuses to pimp out his infant son for money. The singer is upset that there are rumors that he was trying to sell photos of his baby boy. He says no way.

Usher told Page Six: In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money. I am livid that people talk about my child." The new father posed for photos with son Usher Raymond V for Essence magazine for their Father's Day cover - for FREE.

He continued: "What makes you a man more than being a father to your child? I recognize I gave anonymity away when I became an artist, but to have people try to paint a horrible picture of what's so beautiful - it's obvious someone is trying to stop something so beautiful."

Usher also dismisses rumors that wife Tameka fired most of his staff and doesn't get along with his mother. "I stand by her as a man loving my wife and being there for my child... Opinions are like [bleep]holes. Everybody's got one. What I will say is, this is my wife and I would hope that [people] would respect my wife and my marriage and who I have chosen to spend my life with."

I think I like him.
