Usher on how the media and bloggers reacted negatively to the news of his engagement to Tameka Foster:
�It was like, wow. (Getting married) and having a child is something that everyone should celebrate. What�s happened to us as a culture and a people? I�m not ignorant, so I�m not going to go out there and lash out�.�
Usher on how he and Tameka have stayed strong:
�Ours is not a typical love story, but it is a true one. Tameka and I have been fortunate enough to go through the thick of it in the beginning. We�ve had that opportunity to huddle up as a team, to make sure that we�re clear and speak as one voice.�
Tameka on when she knew to trust her instincts, instead of her girlfriends, about starting a relationship with her future husband:
�Thank God I didn�t listen to my girlfriends�. Usher was my road dawg. I�d seen him love, and I�d watched him date women who were not worthy of him. He was so sweet, going out of his way to cater to their every need. And I�d see them not even be grateful.�
Usher on what he�s learned about becoming a father:
�Tameka�s given me one of the greatest gifts I�ll ever have. With a child, now I have purpose. I understand love.�
Tameka on falling for her husband:
�I feel totally uninhibited with Usher. I�ve never been in a situation with anyone, even as far back as high school, where there were no secrets. I know I can tell him anything and he�s not going to judge me. I can finally share my dreams. And because of that, I know that man loves me.�
