Usher filed for divorce from his wife Tameka Foster Raymond last week. People who are close to the couple don’t seem to be surprised by it at all.
“No one I’ve spoken to is surprised,” a source close to the couple said. “As bad as this is gonna sound, it was never a matter of ‘I wonder if they’ll divorce,’ but more like ‘I wonder WHEN they’ll divorce.’”
“They peaked before they even got married,” a friend of Tameka said. “Right after it was over, they started to drift apart. [Usher] just wasn’t ready to settle down, at least not with her.”
The source, who says that there was no third party breaking up the marriage, says that Usher still lived like a bachelor. “He just wasn’t used to calling her if he was going to be out late,” says the source. “He didn’t treat her bad. He just took her for granted.”
As the marriage continued, friends noticed that Usher and Tameka were living separate lives. “They’ve been going their own way for awhile,” says Tameka’s friend. “They don’t spend a lot of time with each other. When they were together, it was all about the boys.”
The R & B star filed the petition Friday in Superior Court in Atlanta, court records show. The couple had trouble making it to the altar, with a canceled ceremony in July 2007, followed by a civil ceremony in August and a dream wedding in September. They have two sons together, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, 6 months.
