The couple's intimate wedding ceremony took place against the picturesque backdrop of Vegas Weddings' Terrace Gazebo, a charming outdoor venue renowned for its elegance and intimacy. Surrounded by a select group of close friends and family - including Usher's mother, Jonetta Patton - the newlyweds reportedly exchanged vows and tied the knot after applying for a marriage license.

Reflecting on this momentous occasion, a representative for Usher shared exclusive insights with PEOPLE, stating: "We can confirm that Usher and Goicoechea took the next step in their relationship and did get married on Sunday night in Las Vegas surrounded by close friends and family.

"They both look forward to continuing to raise their children together surrounded by love and thank everyone for the well wishes."

Goicoechea and Usher have welcomed two beautiful children during their relationship. Sovereign Bo was born in September 2020, and Sire Castrello arrived one year later in October 2021.

Usher also has two other children - Usher "Cinco" Raymond V and Naviyd Ely.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE earlier this week, Usher offered heartfelt reflections on his relationship with Goicoechea, underscoring the profound bond they share. "Listen, when you find someone that you know is a great partner, of course it is an honor and a pleasure to be able to share life with someone who wants to share it with you and loves you, who you are."

The 'OMG' singer also reflected on how supportive his wife has been in the build-up to Super Bowl LVIII.

Goicoechea, who also works in the music industry, first crossed paths with Usher years ago - with rumors swirling about their relationship since 2016. It wasn't until they were spotted kissing backstage at the Hollywood Bowl in October 2019 that fans knew just how serious they were about each other.

Melody Willis-Williams, president of Vegas Weddings, extended warm congratulations to the newlyweds, reflecting on the joy of hosting such a momentous occasion. "Congratulations to the Newlyweds! What a great game and Usher’s performance was phenomenal! We were beyond thrilled to host in this epic day for Usher and his new wife," she conveyed in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE. "As much as we love, love, this is the couple’s news to share any further details on. We’ll always be fans of Usher! Yeah!"

Congratulations to the happy couple!
