Popular American RnB singer,Usher and wife Grace Miguel, 48 are getting a divorce after two years of marriage. The divorce may not be unconnected with recent report that the singer had engaged in amorous affairs with other women and also infected one Quantasia Sharpton with a sexually transmitted disease.
She had accused Usher of exposing her to genital herpes, saying the singer failed to disclose his condition before having sex with her. The 38-year-old Grammy winner was reportedly diagnosed with herpes — although he never confirmed having the incurable disease. Sharpton had said she met the singer when she attended his concert some years ago.
The couple who have been dating since 2009 released a joint statement to US Weekly on Tuesday, confirming their separation. The statement reads
“After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple, 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.”
