US singer Usher says that he still has plans to marry his girlfriend Tameka Foster after a last-minute cancellation of their nuptials on July 28.
The singer, however, has not divulged any particular date for the second ceremony.
"As of right now we don't have a date but we will let you know when we do," Us Weekly magazine quoted him as saying.
The couple had cancelled their wedding on Saturday without any explanation. Several reports and blogs suggested that the cancellation was due to bad blood between Foster and Usher's mother, recent reports about Foster's criminal past, and Foster's resistance to signing a prenuptial agreement.
A source close to the couple has, however, dismissed these rumours as mere speculations.
"People are just hating," says the insider, who reveals the real reason they postponed the wedding was due to a pre-term labour scare.
The source said that the four-months pregnant Foster was admitted to St. Vincent's Medical Center in New York City after suffering cramping, but upon examination "she learned it was just uneasiness brought on by the stress of the wedding."
According to the source, it was at that point that Usher decided to postpone the ceremony.
"Everbody's fine. Tameka and the baby are fine," Usher himself said after the couple arrived via private plane in New York.
"We're good. We're all doing great now," Foster chimed.
Meanwhile, a friend of the couple has said that they love each other very much, and will soon get married.
"There will be a second wedding ceremony. This is just a postponement. They are very much in love," said the source.
Usher and Foster got engaged in January, and they announced the latter's pregnancy at the end of June.
This will be Usher's first child, while Foster has three children from a previous marriage.
R and B star Usher's July 28th wedding to Tameka Foster was reportedly called off because of a series of differences between the pair.
The superstar was looking forward to marry his pregnant fiance at record executive Antonio 'L.A.' Reid's home in Long Island, New York.
But the ceremony was scrapped just hours before the ceremony, allegedly due to a string of disagreements between the couple, as well as Usher's mother's disapproval of the awaiting nuptials.
"Usher's mother [and former manager, Jonetta Patton, whom he fired in May] is against the wedding. That is one of the main obstacles. They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding. They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing," People quoted a source, as saying.
However, another source revealed that it was Usher who decided against the marriage at the eleventh hour, because of past few rough days between the pair.
"Usher changed his mind. They had a lot of differences about the details. For example, the bride wanted barbeque, [and] he wanted to have [renowned chef] Jean Georges cook," the source said.
The source added that as a result of the differences, the wedding "was on again off again for the past few days. [Foster] was calling it off because she wasn't getting the things that she wanted. The mother was calling it off. ... Usher was calling it off."
Usher's spokeswoman, Patti Webster issued a statement on the same day of the cancelled wedding refusing to comment on whether or not the couple had split.
"It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond IV and Tameka Foster was cancelled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected," Webster said.
Usher confirmed the pregnancy of his stylist girlfriend Foster in January this year and the couple confirmed engagement reports in June.
The wedding between Usher and his pregnant fiance has been canceled, his publicist told The Associated Press on Saturday.
The wedding between the multiplatinum singer and his longtime girlfriend, Tameka Foster, was scheduled for Saturday. The pair are expecting their first child together sometime this fall.
However, a statement released by publicist Patti Webster exclusively to the AP read: "It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond, IV and Tameka Foster was canceled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected."
Foster and Usher announced their engagement earlier this year, and later, that she was expecting his first child. She has three other children from a previous marriage.
Webster would not comment on whether the two were still engaged or even a couple.
US singer Usher says that he still has plans to marry his girlfriend Tameka Foster after a last-minute cancellation of their nuptials on July 28.
