The couple has two sons: Usher V, 2, and Naviyd, 1.When asked what went wrong, Usher recalls that soon after the birth of their second son, he and Foster started to argue about everything including parenting style. "We're two different people and we have two different goals.

He's the one who leads his brother astray. I was like that when I was his age... if one gets in trouble, the other one does, too. They both have a lot of energy. They can wear me out." On his mom babysitting:"She spoils them. She lets them do everything that she wouldn't let me do. Sometimes, when I'm scolding the kids, I sound just like my mom. I'm like, 'how did Jonetta get in here?' " On his music:"My music is about where I am at the time, In 'Raymond vs. Raymond,' I was going through a lot of things, and it came out in my music. My marriage fell apart and I was suddenly a single father. But now, with Versus, I'm singing about being a dating father." On finding love again:"I still believe in love. I believe in marriage. When I fall in love again, everyone will know. I'll sing about it."
