Usher's tearful ex-wife Tameka Foster loses custody battle for sons after pool accident

Usher and his ex-wife appeared make peace in court on Friday after a bitter custody war over their two sons.
The singer gave tearful Tameka Foster Raymond a consoling hug moments after she lost her bid to get temporary primary custody of Usher V, five, and Naviyd, four, in a hearing in Atlanta.
She sought legal action after the pair's older child got caught in a pool drain while in the care of the Grammy winner's aunt on Monday. She alleged the children were in a 'dangerous environment'.
But the judge described the incident as an 'awful accident' and dismissed the case.
The courtroom showdown between the former couple took a surprising turn, with Usher extending the proverbial olive branch to a distraught Raymond by embracing her.

The 34-year-old RnB star tentatively approached, before placing his hand on her shoulder.

Raymond - whose 11-year-old son Kile, from a previous relationship, tragically died in a jetski accident last year - turned to him as he pulled her in for an embrace of apparent sympathy after what has been a very stressful week for the two parents.

Usher's aunt, Rena Oden, was looking after the children on the day of the pool accident.
Before dismissing the case, Fulton County Superior Court Judge John Goger said he wasn't certain anyone really could have done anything to prevent the accident. But he also advised Usher to keep his ex-wife well advised of his whereabouts and who's taking care of the children.
