Usher-ing in an Era of Fatherhood

2 01 2008

The joys, the thrills of parenting have turned R&B crooner Usher into a "super dad."

Usher Raymond V turns two months old next Monday. His dad says the birth transformed him into a family man. "I really cook for the family," says Usher. "Now I basically do chicken and broccoli and steamed vegetables, because I'm on this diet. But believe me, I can fry some chicken too. I really clean up. I walk the dog, myself. I burp the baby. I change the diapers. I trim the tree. I'm about to get the things for the tree after this because it's bare. I'm super dad. And it's only begun."

The 29-year-old Grammy winner is also enjoying documenting every moment of the tot's young life. "I've become an instant photographer, developing them and everything," Usher says.

Lil’ Usher’s Gushing Grandma

29 11 2007

Newborns really seem to act as splints when it comes to healing fractured family relationships.

Usher's new son, Usher Raymond the fifth is no different. He's given his grandma the warm fuzzies, even though Johnetta Patton's relationship with the RB singer had been strained. Usher fired Patton as his manager amid feuding between her and his then-girlfriend, now wife, Tameka Foster. Patton reportedly did not approve of the relationship, which caused them at first to scrap their planned wedding. Usher and Foster eventually married in secret on August 3. Patton was not invited.

But grandma seems willing to let bygones be bygones.

She calls her new grandson "a precious gift from God," according to www.boston.com.

"I'm extremely excited and filled with joy about the birth of my grandson, Usher Raymond V. He is beautiful, precious, healthy and such a blessing. I'm very happy for my son and his wife. God has truly blessed them with a special gift. This will be an amazing holiday season for all of us," Patton states.

Awww.

The 36-year old Foster gave birth to the 7lb 9oz bundle of joy on Monday, November 26 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The couple said: "We are so happy and proud of our beautiful son. What a blessing!"

Foster is 13 years her husband's senior and has three kids from a previous marriage.
