Usher: 'Marriage Made Me A Great Man'

R+B superstar USHER credits his wife TAMEKA FOSTER with changing his playboy ways - because he was never able to remain faithful to his partners before the pair met.

The Yeah! hitmaker married stylist Foster last September (07) and welcomed a son, Usher Raymond V, two months later (Nov07).

But the 29-year-old singer romanced a string of beauties before walking down the aisle - including TLC star Rozonda 'Chili' Thomas - and detailed his struggle with monogamy on 2004 hit Confessions.

However, he claims to have left his batchelor days well behind him since meeting Foster.

He says, "When I became a husband, I became a great man. Being a guy who's a hustler, a player - everybody knows who I used to be. But now (I'm) a man of integrity. The combination of father and individual.

"Being a young man who could have a bevy of women and do whatever, to become more conscious to accept a monogamous relationship - not just (to) be that guy who goes from woman to woman, but a guy of substance."
