American singer, Usher Raymond, has separated from his wife Grace Miguel after two years of marriage.
Usher and Grace began dating in 2009 after Usher split from his first wife, Tameka Foster. The pair married in September 2015, in Cuba.
In a joint statement by Usher, 39, and Grace, 48, they have decided to move on after much thought and consideration.
“We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives.
“The enormous amount of love and respect that we have for each other will only increase as we move forward.”
There were unconfirmed reports that the pair has been quietly living apart for several months.
The split comes months after Usher was accused of knowingly infecting former lovers with the Herpes Simplex 2 virus.
It was revealed in mid-2017 that the U Make Me Wanna hitmaker had paid $1.1 million (£1million) in 2012 to settle a lawsuit after she claimed to have contracted herpes from the star.
Jazz singer Laura Helm of Fulton County, Georgia, then filed court papers in September 2017 along with another woman and man alleging that Usher Raymond infected them.
Usher filed a response to the lawsuit through his lawyers in which he denied the claims he had sexual contact with them or exposed them to herpes.
