Usher Reveals He Once Proposed to TLC’s Chilli and She Told Him No: ‘I Wanted to Marry Her’

Years before Usher married wife Jennifer Goicoechea following his performance at the 2024 Super Bowl, he proposed to TLC's Chilli and she told him no.

I went through a great deal of pain after that, not trusting women or wanting to open up,” Usher, 45, told People in an article published on Thursday, February 15. The “No Scrubs” singer said that even though she and Usher officially split in 2004, they would often find their way back to one another and date when they weren’t in other relationships. “It looked great, but in real life … he knew he had to be a certain way with me and he couldn’t,” the TLC star told People during a June 2023 interview.
