She’ll always be his boo.

Usher married his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, in a Las Vegas ceremony over the weekend, Page Six can confirm.

The wedding went down on Feb. 11, according to a marriage certificate obtained by Page Six, but it’s unclear if the ceremony happened before or after the singer’s Super Bowl LVIII halftime show.

People was first to report the news.

Per TMZ, Usher and Goicoechea got married at Vegas Weddings, which is near the iconic Little White Wedding Chapel.

The singer’s mom, Jonnetta Patton, served as his witness and the ceremony was officiated by Reverend Ronald Joseph Pokrywka.

Page Six exclusively reported early Monday that the 45-year-old singer and 40-year-old Epic Records exec arrived at his Super Bowl afterparty in complementary white wedding looks.

“Congrats to the newlyweds in the building!” legendary music producer Bryan-Michael Cox exclaimed as the duo made their way into Usher’s intimate dinner party hosted by The House of Creed and Remy Martin at Cathédrale Las Vegas.

Page Six also confirmed just before the big game that Usher and Goicoechea obtained a marriage license days before his headlining performance, which featured Alicia Keys, Ludacris and more special guests.

Following Cox’s brief shout-out, Usher — who wore what appeared to be a wedding ring on his left hand –took the mic to address the packed room and express his appreciation.

“It’s been an amazing night, man. I’m really happy,” he told the crowd. “It’s just the beginning. It’s a victory lap for 100 sold-out shows in Las Vegas. And now we’re gonna take it on tour!”

As seen in photos obtained by Page Six, the “Confessions” crooner wore a white floor-length coat adorned with jewels and black letters emblazoned on the back.

Usher has been dating the music executive since 2019. Within a year, it was revealed that the couple were expecting their first child together, and they welcomed their daughter, Sovereign, in September 2020.

Goicoechea gave birth to their son, Sire, in November 2021 after showing off her baby bump on the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet months before.

Usher — whose full name is Usher Raymond IV — also shares sons Usher V, 16, and Naviyd, 15, with his first wife, Tameka Foster. He was then married to Grace Miguel.
