How old is Usher? Usher is 33 years old, and despite his young age, he’s had a career that’s spanned more than 20 years. Born Oct. 14, 1978, in Dallas, Texas, Usher Terry Raymond IV grew up in Chattanooga, Tenn., before moving to Atlanta to pursue his career. At 13, he appeared on “Star Search,” and his performance on that talent show earned him a deal with LaFace Records. Usher’s self-titled debut album followed in 1994, and he’s since dropped six more full-lengths, establishing himself as the preeminent lover-man crooner in modern R&B.

At 33 years old, Usher has weathered his share of personal drama. In 2001, he dated Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, a member of the group TLC, and when they broke up, her faced allegations of infidelity. In 2007, he married Tameka Foster, who subsequently gave birth to two sons: Usher Raymond V (born Nov. 26, 2007) and Naviyd Ely Raymond (Dec. 10, 2008). Unfortunately, the couple divorced in 2009, and ever since, they’ve been embroiled in a bitter custody dispute. They were brought together by tragedy in July 2012, however, as Tameka’s 11-year-old son from another relationship, Kile Glover, was struck by a jet ski in Atlanta’s Lake Lanier. He was pulled from the water unresponsive, and after being declared brain died, he died July 21, 2012.
