Usher Raymond‘s estranged wife, Grace Miguel has officially filed for divorce from the R&B singer just a month after their separation.

Usher and Grace initially announced their separation in a joint statement on March 6 (read here).

“After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple,” the said in a statement.

“We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives. The enormous amount of love and respect that we have for each other will only increase as we move forward.”

Usher and Grace had no children together, so custody won’t be an issue. The former couple was together for 10 years.

39-year-old Usher and Grace began dating in 2009 after Usher split from his first wife, Tameka Foster, with whom he shares 10-year-old son Usher Raymond V and 9-year-old son Naviyd Ely.

The two married in September 2015 but it is thought the former couple have been quietly living apart for several months.

The split comes months after the singer was hit by a $20 million lawsuit in August last year from two women and a man who claimed he had put them at risk of the sexually-transmitted disease, herpes.

At that time, Grace stood by him, but there are speculations that it was part of problems that crashed their marriage of two years.

In fact, other reports claim that Raymond and Miguel are going their separate ways because Miguel wanted kids via a surrogate, while Usher, who already has two children, wasn’t open to the idea, according to The Jasmine Brand.

It is not known if Grace would continue as his manager, a position she has held for years.
