Although the world knew about Usher's secret elopement with longtime girlfriend Grace Miguel [1] in late September, he had yet to confirm the news until he appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday morning. The "I Don't Mind" singer [2] joked about how fans jumped the gun after Grace put up an Instagram photo from their Cuban vacation that prominently features Usher wearing a ring, telling Ellen, "We put this picture up and we were actually just in Cuba on a cultural exchange, and people were, like, 'Hey, they got married.' You know the ring is on the other finger, you guys. But we had a great time. Wonderful woman. Grace Raymond." Aw!
