Usher talked to Entertainment Tonight about filing for divorce from Tameka Foster and if he’s in a good place:

“I’d hate for [people] to assume that. If there’s any turmoil, I think it’s managing all of it, but having an incredible team that helps me do that it makes it very easy, or easier than it would normally be attempting to do it myself.”

His boys are everything to him:

“What I do is, I try to get [my work] done and get home on the weekends if possible … but when I’m with my boys it’s just all about them.”

According to the divorce petition, the couple have been living separately since July, 2008 and there is “no reasonable hope of reconciliation.”
