R&B singer Usher.

Usher has reportedly got engaged to his long-time girlfriend. Rumours are rife the R&B singer and his stylist partner Tameka Foster are to wed after she was seen wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "It's 100 per cent official."

While a friend of Usher's added: "She is wearing a beautiful ring and he's been introducing her as his fiance."

The U Got It Bad singer and Tameka have been dating for over a year.

However, there is one person who is reportedly displeased with the happy news - Usher's mother Jonetta Patton.

Jonetta is said to be 'flipping out' about her 28-year-old son's decision to pop the question to Tameka, according to the New York Daily News newspaper.

Usher's mother, who is also his manager, has history with Tameka. She once fired her as her son's stylist because "she didn't think she was dressing him according to the calibre of star he was".
