Rohan Marley Engaged: Lauryn Hill's Ex to Wed Brazilian Model Isabeli Fontana

Rohan Marley -- son of reggae legend Bob Marley and former long-term boyfriend of Lauryn Hill -- is engaged to Brazilian supermodel Isabeli Fontana, according to numerous reports. The couple began dating last year, after Marley split with Hill, claiming that another man had fathered the singer's sixth child.

It could be a destination wedding, as the pair is thinking of tying the knot in Ethiopia, the birthplace of Haile Selassie, the centerpiece of the Rastafarian religion.

"Rohan told me that we must return to their origins so that the marriage will last forever," Fontana told Brazil's Vega magazine, Contactmusic.com reports.

Fontana's mother has some trepidation about the couple's plans, perhaps because her 28-year-old daughter has two children from previous marriages. The 39-year-old Rohan, meanwhile, has seven kids -- five with Hill and two with Geraldine Khawly, his first wife.

''I think everything is happening too fast but everything has a different rhythm with Isabeli," said Maribel, the bride-to-be's mother.

This is the face of the man that single handedly destroyed the career and the ability for Lauryn Hill to be a musical legend. She went off her rocker messing with this guy and dealing his affairs and now after ALL of those babies and he not marrying her, he marries this chick that has no children by him and in a relationship for less than a year? That's sad all the way around. Lauryn truly became a lost soul after she went into a relationship with this man. It's really sad.

Maybe it's a bad pic but his future wife looks like a man in drag. I don't like Rohan anymore. I can't believe he's marrying a white woman. He ain't **** and Lauren shouldn't have given him the time of day. What will his black children think of him marrying a white woman after having 7 children all together with black woman and 5 with Lauren Hill. Some men just don't care. She's not even very attractive.

Kind of odd, tacky that he had several children with Lauryn without marrying her, and is now engaged to this woman. And Isabeli's quote, "Rohan told me that we must return to their origins so that the marriage will last forever," makes me laugh. What a nutty bunch everyone involved seems to be. I used to be a Lauryn fan, but there hasn't been much to admire lately. I suspect Isabeli's fans will feel similar. "Rohan told me..." LOL! Don't listen to his crazy talk, girl!

He's a real jerk. He cheated on Lauryn so many times and broke her heart and she even was willing to forgive him.
The last child is his and he needs to own up to his responsibilty.
L-is better off without this loser who lives off his father legacy because
he could never be half the man his father was music wise

When ppl do mass amounts of hallucinogens like lauryn hill has you tend to become a freak...Rohan Marley would never marry lauryn because he new she'd divorce him and fight for half of his Dad's legacy...Their relationship has been volatile for years...
