AceShowbiz - Usher sang to Jessica Alba during his Las Vegas residency show months after he enraged Keke Palmer's boyfriend with the same move. The 45-year-old "Love in This Club" singer picked the actress, 42, who has been married to film producer Cash Warren, 44, since 2008, among audience during his show on Friday, October 20 with a rendition of his song "There Goes My Baby", with footage of the moment only now emerging from fans.
Usher is seen, in a video of the moment shared online, approaching the mum-of-three as she sat in the crowd inside the Dolby Live at Park MGM. Usher then grabbed her hand as she twirled around before the two began dancing with one another.
Alba has joined the long list of celebrity women whom Usher has sung to during his Sin City residency. In July, he serenaded rapper Saweetie, 30, with his 2010 hit.
Most of Usher's stage serenades end drama free, but when he did it with "Nope" actress Keke Palmer, 30, over the summer, her furious boyfriend Darius Jackson took to Twitter to publicly shame her over the sheer black Givenchy dress and matching thong bodysuit she wore to the singer's show. He tweeted on July 5, "It's the outfit tho… you a mom."
Fans defended Keke, who has eight-month-old son Leodis with Darius, and accused him of shaming her.
But he responded to the criticism on Twitter, which has now been rebranded X by owner Elon Musk, "We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn't want the wife and mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others and he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family and my representation. I have standards and morals to what I believe. I rest my case."
Despite Darius' rant, Keke then made fun of the row by starring in Usher's music video for "Boyfriend".
