Usher [ tickets ] filed a petition late Friday (6/12) afternoon for divorce from Tameka Foster, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The divorce petition--filed in Fulton County Superior Court--was brought less than two years after the pop star, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV, and Foster were wed.

A hearing has been set for July 15.

Rumors had been circulating since May that the two had split, and there have been reports that they actually have been separated for almost a year.

The couple has two sons: 1-and-a-half-year-old Usher Raymond V and 6-month-old Naviyd Ely Raymond.
