Usher Engaged To Grace Miguel, His Longtime Girlfriend And Manager

Usher, 36, is engaged to longtime girlfriend and manager Grace Miguel, 44, People reports. The couple have been dating since 2009, following the R&B singer and Voice judge's divorce from ex-wife Tameka Foster to whom he was married from 2007 to 2009. Representatives from the newly engaged couple have yet to confirm the news.

Usher spoke about their relationship with Billboard in October saying, "I have an incredible partner and manager. She has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and my career."

"She's someone who has been able to support and understand all of who I am," he continued. "Not just as a dancer or as a performer or as a singer, but as a humanitarian and a businessman and as a person."

He went on to talk about how their relationship has made his career more enjoyable.

"One thing that has come from having a great partner like Grace is being able to cherish the places that I've gone," he told them. "We see the monumental sites, go to the museums, eat in the best restaurants. I'm that guy now! In the past I'd do what I have to do and get on the bus to the next city. Life has become a vacation."

Despite his ugly custody battle, Usher told O Magazine that his marriage to Foster was his "best mistake."

"Most people probably think I regret it because I ended up getting divorced, but it helped me learn that sometimes I think I know more than I actually do," he told them.

Usher ultimately won primary custody of his two sons - Usher V, 7, and Naviyd Ely, 6 -- from his past marriage to Foster. He lives with his sons in Atlanta. Meanwhile Miguel has a daughter, Leaf, from a previous relationship.

Congrats to the happy couple!
