Usher and his wife Grace Miguel have separated after two years of marriage.

“After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple,” the couple said in a joint statement to Us Weekly. “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.”

The couple separated a couple of months ago.

Last summer, Usher was sued by three people — two women and one man — for sexual battery and fraud, among other claims, for concealing an alleged herpes diagnosis from them. The singer has two children from a previous relationship, and he and Grace had none.
