*Rohan Marley, the 39-year-old son of the late reggae icon Bob Marley and father to five of Lauryn Hill’s six children, has just gotten engaged to model Isabeli Fontana, 28, of Brazil, she revealed to a magazine in her home country.
The couple met shortly after Rohan’s separation from Lauryn last year, when it became known that she was expecting a child with another man. Rohan also has two children from his first marriage to Geraldine Khawly.
Isabeli says she and Rohan are considering tying the knot in Ethiopia, where the Rastafarian movement was founded. ”Rohan told me we have to return to the roots so the marriage will last forever,” she told Brazil’s Veja magazine.
According to Veja, Rohan and Isabeli ”see each other very little” because she continues to live in Sao Paulo, Brazil while Rohan resides in New York.
The former University of Miami football player currently runs the Marley Coffee company and is currently on the big screen in the documentary, “Marley,” described as the definitive documentary about his legendary father. It begins with Marley’s nursery school teacher in St. Ann and ends heartbreakingly at the Bavarian clinic where he spent the last months of his life.
“The film, I think, did a great job capturing the human side of my father; who he is as a human being,” he told EURweb. “A human being really appreciative of life, who really loved to love, who really loved to do things to help people in many ways.”
Below, Rohan told us the most shocking thing he learned about the latter part of his father’s life while making the documentary. He also shares a poignant revelation about his father from the nurse who took care of him at the alternative cancer treatment clinic in Bavaria, Germany. [Scroll down to watch the trailer.]
Would live to hear from Lauryn.
“Ethiopia, where the Rastafarian movement was founded.”
The Rastafarian movement was founded in Jamaica.
It was inspired by emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia.
I was supposed to watch that movie last Thursday at the film festival.
This is the second time for the day I’m reminded of how good it was.
Oh lawd!! Lauryn will never get right in the head now…
he’s a hypocritical slut . . . . .don’t be suprised any breaking news . . . this is big.
@Nightshift, you ain’t never lied. We will see how long this one will last. He was married when he first got with Lauryn and had a bunch of kids. He is a notorious shore on the islands. I don’t excuse Lauryn either because she should have known better herself fooling with this clown. This Brazilian chick have already been married twice so I guess three is a charm.
My phone typos. I meant to say whore.
*SMH* Typical. Lauryn gives him 5 children yet runs off to wife another woman because Lauryn had a child with another man. LMAO. What the hell did he expect her to do? Wait until he finishes whoring around to make a decision? He’s pathetic and Lauryn was crazy to make 5 kids with this fool. Does he even work? If it wasn’t for his father’s name, he would just be somebody’s outside kid (Marley was still married to Rita when Bob was ‘sperminating’ other women). I guess he calls himself following in his father’s footsteps in the babymaking department. Utterly ridiculous and his latest ‘bride-to-be’ better prepare herself when he gets tires of her.
Lauryn is a beautiful black queen and he wants this mud duck that is fine with me our black race does not want or need men like this to represent us.
I hope this inspires some more “Miseducation.” Lauryn has got to be feeling something about this.
