NEW YORK — Usher says he is open to getting married again, but you can forget about him rushing back to the altar.
"I want to hold my horses," the R&B star tells Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts. "I'm 31. Let me just take my time. I have two beautiful children. And managing the process of it, I want to be comfortable. You know, I'm not rushing, you know, to get old. I'm young."
Usher and his ex-wife, Tameka Foster, finalized their divorce in November. He said the former lovers have both "moved on to be very happy" and are focused on being the best parents they can be to their young sons, Usher Raymond V, 2, and Naviyd, 1.
"I didn't become an artist to hide out," Usher told Roberts during his Tuesday appearance. "You know, anonymity is something that goes out the window when you decide that you want to be an entertainer."
"I just hope that my kids will be passionate young men," he added, "that they will believe in something and stick to it until it is finished."
In addition to his very public divorce, Usher also moved away from having his mother as his manager. It was a decision that was in the best interest of the family, he said.
"There was a difference in opinion," Usher explained. "And in any business relationship there will be. But that was an obvious indication that we'd begun to kind of grow apart in our theory. And, you know, for the most part I felt like this would be great for us."

"They're all my babies," he said. "I don't have a favorite cut. I wish I did. You know, the entire album is a package."
