Usher marriage split rumours denied

Usher's manager has denied reports that the singer has split from wife Tameka Foster after nine months.

The couple married in Atlanta last August and welcomed first son Usher Raymond V three months later.

Youngblackandfabulous.com said the R&B star filed for separation three weeks ago but was unsure whether to make a statement or let the story leak out through the press.

However, his manager Benny Medina told E! News that the rumours are "absolutely not true".

Usher's new album Here I Stand is released next week.
