Earlier this month pop star Usher mentioned in an interview that he hoped his ex-wife Tameka Raymond would stop using his last name if he ever married again.

Is that time coming sooner rather than later….

In an interview on Extra with Angie Martinez Usher admitted he’s getting closer to tying the knot.

Usher tells Extra,

“I’ve been even more excited about the idea of it. It could be the fact that I’ve spent the last year at everybody’s damn wedding, like I’ve become damn near the wedding singer, know what I mean?”

Usher has been dating his manager Grace Miguel since 2009.
