Lauryn Hill's baby daddy, Rohan Marley, engaged to be married

                                               Rohan and Lauryn Hill                                             Rohan and Isabella

He was with singer Lauryn Hill for almost 15 years, fathered 5 or 6 children with her (the paternity of her last child is still a mystery) but he never married her.

Fans of the couple were quite surprised to learn that Lauryn and Rohan were no longer together after Rohan started openly dating Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana shortly after Lauryn Hill gave birth to her sixth child last year.

Less than a year after they got together, Isabella and Rohan are engaged. The model told Veda magazine this week that Rohan already proposed to her and they plan to wed in Ethiopia before the end of the year.

15 years, 5/6 children = no marriage! Less than a year relationship = marriage! Love is so complicated!

Linda love is not complicated, people are! They had a tumultuous relationship for the 15 or so years. No surprises here.

Na so na. Women keep making excuses for the men about how he can't commit and all that sh*t. Story story. He really does not want to. When they see the one they like, they commit. Simples. Lesson learned

WHITE WOMEN ARE THE BEST said...

you CANNOT even COMPARE them to BLACK WOMEN, ESPECIALLY their ATTITUDES

thats WHY you SEE so many INTERRACIAL couples TODAY

@ Linda - They have only 5 children together. The last one is by someone else whose identity has never been disclosed.

Well, she knew she was dealing with a Marley and I hope this one knows the same thing too. Rolling stones, all of them...rolling from one woman to another having babies everywhere but at least his father was talented even with all of his philandering ways! This one here has been living off of his father's legacy instead of doing something with himself. He was cheating on Lauryn all over the place. She sef no be innocenti.

Well, Lauryn has got her child with someone else, he's getting married to another person. And I think that was the final nail on the coffin for that rollercoaster relationship.

Same thing with Lamar Odom. Dated someone for 18years and had kids with her. Then met and married Khloe in a month. Bottomline, kids don't guarantee marriage. Length of time doesn't guarantee marriage. In all things, be wise.

It's not matter of love. It's lust. As you must've noticed Isabella is far hotter and younger than Lauryn Hill. And btw, she's coming to chop money.

Women love drama too much in their lives..this is the consequence!!..all that excitement..only ends in pain..leave that ish by 21!!

You are right o jare. Love sometimes no just get head more so for all these oyibos. But what really happens? I wonder. What and when does the bubble burst. When does your spouse stop being that special?

See Laury o. Correct chick. She withdrew from music and public life to focus on family and a spiritual life and now this? After six kids? Who says life is fair and who says men make it any easier for women. Lauryn ndo.

Ahmed said...

I don't feel Lauryn Hill was a Saint. Her temperament -- the type you women have on a monthly basis that makes you act psychotic ( the one you call "painful menstral period" ) most likely pushed Rohan Marley away and into the arms of another woman who most likely was never nagging him about everything under the sun, moon and stars. He must have had legitimate reasons for refusing to marry Lauryn. Poor Rohan. He must be glad Lauryn is out of his life. As for the last child he refused to accept as his, he must have had a good reason for his action. Maybe he caught her cheating on him before or during the pregnancy. Maybe the baby looks Mexican instead of rasta. Mexicans don't have dreads. Maybe Lauryn cheated on Rohan but he didn't go public cos she's the mother of his children. All I'm saying is I don't believe Lauryn was a saint whilst she was with Rohan.

All these having children out of wedluck can have repercussions.People should not toy with having kids like pure water.Marriage is a sacred institution that requires offspring.

Well karma has come for Lauryn Hill.Don't forget that Rohan was married when Lauryn and him was dating,as the saying goes what goes around comes around.

orisirisi said...

This is the height of unfairness! Haba. So I was good enough to lay down with and sleep with to produce babies with for 15 years but you could not walk me down the aisle and wife me. Men can be bastards sha. Why exactly did he not see her as wife? same goes to 9ice and one of those Psquare boys

Anonymous said...

Would marrying Rohan be an accomplishment to Lauryn? Some women too just don't want the maariage tis why it never works.

DEEFLAMEZ said...

ADVICE TO LADIES: You can't tie a man down with pregnancy, children & paternity. 5 children!!!! Am sorry to say i don't pity her atall, just the same way i don't have pity for an IDIOT whose hobby is to play with live wire. If she claims to be ignorant of the consequence of her actions, then i must admit she was plain SUICIDAL ****** @willadebo

sad face said...

See the wide genuinely happy smile with the model and see his barely there smile with Lauren and for the most part, most of their pictures have been like this over the years. This is terrible. I feel soooo bad for her.

Anonymous said...

Linda, don't you get it???? Marriage is indeed not necessary. Those 15 years count for something, trust me. Open your mind a bit more. Not everyone is hankering for marriage. Stop measuring all relationship by whether or not they end up in marriage. Fulfilment is not something you can measure. Gosh!

Lol!

Goebbels said...

& How would being married have changed anything? He would have still walked but just messier going through courts & ish.

YOU CAN'T TIE A MAN /WOMAN DOWN via MARRIAGE. PERIOD!. If a man is gonna walk he will walk. Women should stop thinking marriage provides solid commitment it does NOT.

Anonymous said...

Lauryn sef no be saint. She started dating him while he was still married to his first wife.

Anonymous said...

That God no problem of prenuptial as Lauryn still has a high networth. However I hear she is in some kind of cult now and the leader has a strong hold on h thinking. Check it out on Wikipedia. However life is complicated.

Exactly!

"Girls....you know you better watch out, some guys some guys are only about...that thing, that thing, that thiiiinng" why didn't she follow her own advice??????? This is Crazy!

BLOGLORD said...

If being married isnt necessary go and open ur yansh n be birthing like fowl naa for no defined father.
no matter how u look at it, its better married, d kids come, maybe a problem n d marriage is dissolved than having kids just like dat.
if its just one kid it can be assumed that it was a mistake but 5????
head check.

Gosh! I can't stand folks with dreads...I always have the feeling the dreads stink. This dude is ugly and living off his fathers name. this model will divorce his ass as soon as she knows she can sue him for spousal support.

Im dissapointed with the comments im seeing here.Why are you all feeling sorry for Lauryn? Wats the fuss about?its so sad how people like you think that when a relationship breaks down,its the woman that suffers or its the woman's fault.Nigerians still have a long way to go in determining issues....Who told you all Lauryn ever wanted to marry him and he declined or that he was the one shunning commitment?What if its the other way round and she wasnt into marriage?jus birthing.What if she didnt want him to reap any part of her money in event of a messy divorce.Knowing lauryn n d rest of her Kabalistic cultish figures....they all abhor male control and wish to be free.i see Rihanna going that way cos its difficult to wife that kind.save ur pity pls for your Nigerian actresses.NOTE:im not saying thats the best way to live life but im telling you that mentality like that exists.think outside the box

from wikipedia for all you ignorant sods -

"In the summer of 1996, Hill met Rohan Marley, the son of reggae legend Bob Marley. Despite the fact that Marley was already married, Hill and Marley started a family. They have five children together: Zion David (born August 3, 1997),[72] Selah Louise (born November 12, 1998),[72] Joshua Omaru (born January 26, 2002),[72] John Nesta (born mid-2003),[72] and Sarah (born January 2008).[72] She also has a son (born July 23, 2011) with another man.[5][73]

U all might be sympatizing with the wrong person, cos u never can tell, this might be what she wanted all along, marraige might never have been in the books from the begining, so save your sympathy for some one else she might not need it. You pple get carried away with sympathy , n you get emotional mean while the main person in question might be okay with the situation.

Anonymous said...

Anonymous 12.30pm i agree with you 100%......not every woman wants to get married especially when they already know the kind of man they are with and they don't mind birthing for the man.
So if the man is so interested in marriage, he is forced to look for some other woman who is period.

Anonymous said...

Lauryn Hill went for the pot (marijuana) and its availability in Jimaca and got seriously hooked on the shit. Lost her voice in the process and settled foro making babies in order to hold the guy down. It doesnt work that way and you cant blame the guy for her condition cos she's the one that resigned to the condition. She was more or less marred to pot than the guy. She's 24 hours stoned.

Deep Soul said...

Nigerians and their Nollywood mentality sha. Wake up, not every woman wants to get married. Not every woman even wants to have kids!

I PERSONALLY know someone who was with his partner for 9yrs or so and they had 2 kids together. He wanted to marry her but she declined, saying "marriage changes everything". But he stayed with her bcos of love.

In the end, he caught her cheating and a few months later, she was engaged to someone else!

Like sm1 said, the 15yrs between LAuryn & Rohan definitely counts for SOMETHING!

Atleast dem no waste money ontop aso-ebi & wedding cake and still end up divorcing.

Well, its not so complicated its "the rules".
Men hunt an antelope and display the head in their front room for all to see but if they found a freshly dead antelope in their back yard, they throw it away.
Once you are dead at his feet he can no longer hunt you so discard lo ku.
Lets look at the Rohan's body language in the 2 pics and ( I love Lauryn)its obvious to see that one fell at his feet while the other he worked hard to get.
Only my opinion.

meji said...

Did lauryn say she was looking for marriage????she is not the first celebrity to seer children with a man without marrying him,Goldie Hawn did it with Kurt Russel,so what??however and not advocating having the milk for free without buying the cow.Lastly dont judge if you are not wearing that shoe,'cause you dont know where it hurts.

Besides the Brazilian woman is twice divorced with 2 kids...so she is not new to the game either!

Frenchie said...

I'm not so surprised when Lauryn started popping babies Rohan was still married to someone else. He publicly denied paternity for Lauryn's last born so I guess things went sour. I hope she has found a responsible man and caring father for her children. She has never been lucky with men. Back in the days Wyclef did her wrong too.

I'm a fan of ms hill & d fugees; I'm also a fan of d marleys; b4 lauryn's encounter with d marleys she had an affair with wyclef jean; on meeting d marleys and d mystic surrounding dem as per their father's popularily, she was in awe of them and it was easy for her 2 fall in love with any of d marleys frm ziggy to kymani. Her hooking up with rohan displeased wyclef to dis day. I personally feel sorry for her even tho' I guess she doesn't feel sori for herself; but if not that there's more than meets the eye, why go hava 6th child 4 sum1 else after having 5kids 4 1 man? Mayb she's in d best position 2 answer dat

Anonymous said...

Anon May 17, 2012 9:36 PM even when pregnant with her first child, she thought the baby was Wyclef's! She was sleeping with both of them initially in the beginning. Now Wyclef can't stand her. I think she's ignorant just dropping babies anyhow.

Anonymous said...

Wow. A lot of you people are insanely sexist, man-hating, and naive about women, not to mention, Ms. Hill herself!

Lauryn HAD a ring. She used to wear it many uears ago when Mises dropped! The two spoke of one another as husband amd wife for years.

She stopped wearing it for whatever reason.

Do you all really believe women are all super stupid? LOL!
