R&B singer Usher graces the cover of Essence magazine's August issue and shares a first look at his 7-month old son, Usher Raymond V, and his thoughts on fatherhood.
In an interview with Essence, Usher stressed that a sense of responsibility is key to being a good father. " ... you should never abandon that responsibility, which is to be there, reading with your child, being supportive of your child's growth. That is communicating. That is making the choice to put your child before your own vanity," he said.
How has marriage and fatherhood changed his life? "They're both linked -- I can't have one without the other. But the one thing that changed me the most is having a wife. Our child is an extension of that union," Usher told Essence.
Looks like fatherhood suits him well! See behind-the-scenes at the Essence magazine cover photo shoot:
