*Page Six is reporting that Usher was following around actress Tessa Thompson like a “lost puppy” during a recent afterparty in Los Angeles in the days before announcing his split from wife Grace Miguel.
Ursh and his second wife confirmed this week that they’re ending their marriage of two years. But sources tell Page Six that following the LA premiere of “Black Panther” in January, Usher was trying to shoot his shot with Thompson:
A guest at the extravaganza told us that after Usher posed for pics on the red carpet with singer Janelle Monáe and “Thor: Ragnarok” star Tessa Thompson — “they were talking to Janelle and he and Tessa had flirty body language . . . then he seemed to be following [Thompson] around like a lost puppy.”
The witness related that when Thompson “walked away, he followed like a puppy looking for more attention.”
Sources added that Usher seemed in pursuit of Thompson all night: “He was attached at the hip” at the Hollywood Roosevelt party, at which no press was allowed inside and guests also included Jamie Foxx, Donald Glover, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and the cast.
Usher and Miguel confirmed their split on Tuesday amid rumors that the two have actually been separated “a couple of months.” The pair told Us Weekly in a statement: “After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple.”
Meanwhile, Usher may be wasting his time pining for Thompson. The streets believe she’s actually boo’d up with her good friend Monáe, who cast the actress as her love interest in the video for her new song “Make Me Feel.” Asked about the relationship by “Entertainment Tonight” in February, Tessa said of Monae: “We’ve been really good friends . . . I am so lucky to have her in my life.”
