Usher's secret wedding

Jul 11, 2007, 11:00 GMT

Usher is set to marry Tameka Foster in a secret ceremony this month, it has been claimed.

The 'Confessions' singer had said he would marry his pregnant fiancée in the autumn, after she had given birth, but rumours are now rife they will tie the knot at a private house in the Hamptons by the end of July.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "They want to get married before she gives birth."

A representative for Usher has so far refused to comment on the wedding rumours.

The R'n'B star and his former stylist confirmed the pregnancy last month, saying: "We are extremely excited at this point in our lives planning our wedding and the joy that comes from expecting our first child together."

In April, it was reported that Tameka was pregnant with another man's child.

The 38-year-old - who already has three children - divorced her first husband Ryan Glover at the beginning of the year and was alleged to be carrying his child.

Usher, 28, and Tameka were reunited in February after a brief split and his spokeswoman announced their engagement on March 30.

Usher - who has previously said he would love to tie the knot before the end of the year - has repeatedly dismissed rumours Tameka is pregnant by her former husband.
