Usher and Chilli talked about marriage

Usher came close to marrying ex-girlfriend Rozanda 'Chilli' Thomas four years before he wed stylist Tameka Foster last year, according to the TLC star.

Usher and Thomas stunned the media when they split in 2003 after a two-year romance, and now the 'Waterfalls' singer reveals the couple was talking about becoming husband and wife before the break-up.

She tells Sister2Sister magazine: "There was a point when it (marriage) was discussed... Obviously, we broke up, so it didn't happen."
