Usher and Tameka Foster, who are expecting their first child together, have tied the knot.

"I exchanged vows with Tameka Foster in Atlanta, on Friday, and we are happily married," Usher tells Usmagazine.com in a story posted Monday.

According to the magazine, a small, private ceremony was held in the office of Usher's lawyer and that his mother and former manager, Jonetta Patton, was in attendance.

Publicist Patti Webster referred to the US Weekly story when asked for comment from The Associated Press.

Usher and Foster called off their July 28 wedding amid reports that Foster had checked into a hospital because of problems with her pregnancy.

He told US Weekly last week: "Everybody's fine. Tameka and the baby are fine."

The couple announced their engagement earlier this year, and later, that Foster was expecting Usher's first child. She has three other children from a previous marriage.
