R&B star Usher has a child just three months old as a result of an affair he had with a fan.

The Sun says the pregnancy was the reason behind the end of his three-year relationship with Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, of girl band TLC, two months ago.

She dumped him as soon as he admitted cheating on her, reports The Sun.

Usher has poured out his feelings about the mess he has made of his life in a song on his album Confessions, which is out next week.

The singer, heading to No1 on Sunday with his single Yeah, owns up to his affair and fathering the baby. He hasn’t said what sex the baby is.

In the song he also opens his heart about how he didn’t want the child and how he was forced to face the end of his relationship with Chilli.
