Usher has officially filed for divorce

Along with his estranged wife Grace Miguel, Usher had previously confirmed that the pair were going their separate ways.

But now the former couple has made it official after papers were submitted to the court on Friday.

Usher and Grace confirmed their split in March this year in a joint statement and insisted they would "remain deeply connected, loving friends".

They said at the time: "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."

Usher and Grace started dating in 2009 after he split from his first wife, Tameka, with whom he has 11-year-old son Usher Raymond V and 10-year-old son Naviyd Ely.

Tameka suddenly passed away in 2018.
