Usher and wife Tameka file for divorce in Atlanta

In further sad proof that celebrity status is no friend of a marriage, news is emerging that Usher and his wife, Tameka Foster, are calling it quits. Papers were filed in Atlanta today.
Married in August of 2007, the Grammy-winning artist and Tameka have been living apart for almost a year, but a friend says their two children, 18-month old Usher Raymond V, and baby, Naviyd, 6-months, will be their father�s first thought in the upcoming storm; �Usher�s big concern is his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them,� People�s scribes were assured.
These are not the first troubled waters with which their now-sinking union has met; Last November, Usher, 31, was seen openly flirting with other women at a social gig in Miami - even asking one out on a date. And in February, Tameka suffered cardiac arrest while being prepped for liposuction in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Usher flew to her bedside and helped pull her through, but admitted to reporters he had no idea she was even there for an op.

It sounds like this sad train-wreck has been some time in coming.Source: hotmommagossip.com
