Usher's Super Bowl LVIII halftime show was filled with surprises galore, with the iconic singer kicking off his performance on the field with a marching band as he crooned Love in this Club.

And to celebrate his huge weekend at the Super Bowl, Usher said "I do" to his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea - whom he shares two kids with. The couple got hitched after the Super Bowl on February 11, according to a marriage certificate obtained by NBC.

Usher and Jenn got hitched in Clark County, Nevada, according to the certificate, with rumours spiralling ahead of the nuptials taking place as the hitmaker was said to have applied for a marriage license on February 8.
