Usher Speaks Out About His Marriage To Tameka Foster, Singer Reveals That He Has No Regrets, Claims His Short Marriage Was His "Best Mistake"

According to PEOPLE, Usher claims that he has no regrets about marrying his ex, Tameka Foster. In the September issue of O Magazine, Usher revealed that his short marriage was his "best mistake."

"Most people probably think I regret it because I ended up getting divorced, but it helped me learn that sometimes I think I know more than I actually do," Usher, 35 said.

The singer married the Atlanta Exes star at the age of 28. The former couple were married in 2007, ending their relationship after only being married for two years.

Usher and Foster have two sons together and expereinced an ugly custody battle over their sons, Usher V, 6, and Navivyd Ely, 5, after the singer's oldest son, Usher almost drowned at his father's Atlanta home last year. Foster also experienced more heartache when her  11-year-old son, from a previous relationship died in a jet ski accident. Usher eventually won primary custody for his two sons last year.

The former voice coach shared that he has a new favorite tradition with his relatives; reunions, that he refers to as, "red-cup celebrations."

"Everybody's hanging out on the lawn, drinking out of those plastic cups, eating fried chicken and dancing to loud old-school music," Usher shares in the magazine. "Sometimes the simpler the celebration, the better."
