TLC's Chilli 'Unbothered' By Usher's Confession About Proposal Rejection; Enjoys Time With Boyfriend
Rozonda Ocielian Thomas, better known by her stage name Chilli, seems unbothered by her ex-boyfriend Usher's recent revelation about their past romance.
A source close to the TLC girl group member recently told People that the singer was "unbothered by the recent hoopla involving her past relationship."
This was in response to Usher's revelation about the romance they shared from 2001 to 2004, which ended in a rejected marriage proposal.
In a previous interview with People, Usher shared, "I wanted to marry her. I proposed, and she told me no. I went through a great deal of pain after that, not trusting women or wanting to open up."
He added, "I hurt her too," and continued that Chilli's rejection broke his heart.
Before the release of People's cover story featuring Usher, Chilli spent a tropical getaway with her boyfriend Matthew Lawrence to celebrate Valentine's Day and the latter's 44th birthday. The pair spent quality time at the Sandals Dunn's River in Jamaica.
The TLC singer and "Mrs. Doubtfire" actor reportedly began dating after the latter's divorce with ex-wife Cheryl Burke in 2022.
"To this day, we have not had one argument. I'm like, 'Matthew, it's gonna happen one day, 'cause we're going to be together forever,'" Chilli said, one year into their relationship.
"...I've never experienced anything like this," she added.
Meanwhile, her ex, Usher, recently married his long-time girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea in Las Vegas on Feb. 11.
The pair vowed to take their relationship to the next level at Vegas Weddings' drive-thru tunnel, The Fast Lane.
"We can confirm that Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea took the next step in their relationship and did get married on Sunday night in Las Vegas surrounded by close friends and family," a representative for the R&B singer said.
Last June, Chilli addressed her past romance with Usher via People, admitting that though they had great working chemistry, it did not translate to their personal relationship.
"We definitely had some chemistry. But working chemistry does not mean it works in your personal life. If we were working, it was great. But outside of that, we're so different," Chilli said at the time.
