Usher is the latest Atlanta music celebrity ready to make his love official.

The Atlanta R&B superstar is engaged to his longtime girlfriend and business manager, Grace Miguel, according to US Weekly .

The pair has been together since 2009, following Usher's split from Tameka Foster, the mother of his children Naviyd Ely and Usher Raymond IV.

Usher, 36, and Miguel were spotted at a pre-Golden Globes party in Los Angeles on Saturday, where Miguel's ring finger was reportedly adorned with a "giant" diamond ring.

Usher performed in Atlanta last month at a packed Philips Arena, where he brought out an array of Atlanta pals, including Jermaine Dupri, T.I. and Ludacris, who, according to his Instagram, got hitched over the holidays.
