Fans may despise Tameka Foster, but Usher is madly in love with his future baby’s mama.

That could change, however, if his new wife doesn’t deliver a son to the R&B superstar. He recently told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show that he really wants a little man around the house.

Ellen: “Last time you were here, you were single. You said you wanted a lady that you could take from the Waffle House to the White House. You found her.”
Usher: “I did. I found someone that I’m very, very happy to call my wife.”

Ellen: “Is it a boy or a girl?”
Usher: “I don’t know. I want it to be a boy.”

Ellen: “Now, you’re going to have a girl and she’s going to see this tape and say, “Daddy, why don’t you love me?” You better save some for some therapy. But you’re going to love her if it’s a little girl.”
Usher: “Yeah.”

Ellen: “You want a boy, why? So you can play sports with him?”
Usher: “I think every man wants a son. He’s own little own doll. If it’s a boy, I’m going to name him Usher. I’m hoping to name him that. I’ve been playing with a few names. I’m the fourth. Usher Raymond the fourth. I just want to pass the name on. Maybe I’ll change the middle name.”
