Usher recently sat down for an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, where he revealed that TLC's Chilli turned down his proposal years ago.
Speaking about the situation, Usher explained, "I was a young man, and she had very specific rules that didn’t work for me. We were missing each other. I really did want to have a different type of relationship where she was there with me, and she couldn't be. She didn't believe that I was actually in love with her as much as I was."
Usher added, "I wanted to marry her. I proposed, and she told me no. I went through a great deal of pain after that, not trusting women or wanting to open up." Usher then admitted, "I hurt her too," but he says the situation "broke my heart."
