Usher more than made up for Nia Long missing his Las Vegas show when she attended his performance in Houston.
- The actress had previously expressed her regret for missing his Vegas residency on social media.
- In typical Usher style, he engaged with Nia Long flirtatiously during the concert.
- A playful moment unfolded as Usher pretended to feed her a cherry but diverted to a nearby fan.
- Usher’s charming antics are a recurring motif in his current ‘Past, Present Future Tour’.
Usher’s recent tour stop in Houston was marked by a special guest appearance from actress Nia Long, who had previously shared her disappointment on social media about missing his Las Vegas residency. Her presence at the Houston show was a chance for both the singer and actress to make up for the lost opportunity.
During the performance, Usher, known for his charismatic stage presence, put on an entertaining show for Nia Long. He approached her with a cheeky smile and pretended to hand-feed her a cherry, but then humorously shifted his attention to the fan next to her, keeping the audience entertained.
This cherry-feeding act is not new to Usher’s performances. During a previous show in Los Angeles, Usher attempted the same with Halle Bailey, but her boyfriend at the time, DDG, amusingly intercepted the playful gesture by feeding the cherry to her himself, which became a memorable moment on social media.
Despite the playful showmanship, Usher is happily married. Earlier this year, he tied the knot with longtime partner Jennifer Goicoechea following his Super Bowl halftime performance. The couple has been together since 2019 and shares two children.
Usher has been open about his relationship with Jennifer, describing her as an amazing partner and support. He once reflected, ‘I’m a man-man, so I’m like, ‘This is what we’re doing,’ and I might be a little bit more disciplinary at times. If there’s a slap and a hug, I’m the slap and she’s the hug.’
Usher’s shows remain a blend of charm and entertainment, making memorable moments for fans and special guests alike.
