Goicoechea paired the two-piece triangle top swimsuit with a gold body chain and a black swim cap.
The fun didn’t stop there, however. A day later, the couple was spotted heading to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding weekend welcome party, which is taking place at a closed cloister adjacent to the Madonna dell’Orto church in Venice.
The couple’s summer travels come over a year after the couple tied the knot at the drive-thru tunnel The Fast Lane in Las Vegas in February 2024. They married after Usher graced the stage during halftime at Super Bowl LVIII.
Usher and Goicoechea are parents to their 4-year-old daughter, Sovereign Bo, and 3-year-old son, Sire Castrello. The R&B star also shares two sons, Usher “Cinco” Raymond V, 17, and Naviyd Ely, 16, with his ex-wife, Tameka Foster.
At the time of his marriage to Goicoechea, a representative for the singer told PEOPLE that “They both look forward to continuing to raise their children together surrounded by love and thank everyone for the well wishes.”
Ahead of their wedding, Usher spoke to PEOPLE about the lifelong commitment the two made to each other after having kids together.
“It wouldn’t be odd for us to get married. We already did here. You know what I’m saying?” he said.
“And we’re going to be in each other’s lives until we die, obviously, because we have something to share. That’s beautiful. Our children. But not because of that. I really do feel like I have an amazing partner that I respect,” he continued.
