Rohan Anthony Marley (born 19 May 1972) is an entrepreneur and former football player. He is the son of reggae artist Bob Marley and Janet Hunt. He was acknowledged by the singer, and later lived with Marley's wife, Rita from the age of four,[2][3] then lived with Marley's mother after his father died of cancer in Miami.[4]

A 1991 graduate of Miami Palmetto Senior High School,[5] Marley played linebacker for the University of Miami football team, where he played alongside players like Dwayne Johnson and Ray Lewis. In 1993 he led the Hurricanes with 95 tackles.[1] He later played professional football in the Canadian Football League with the now defunct Ottawa Rough Riders.[6]

Career

In 2009, he co-founded Marley Coffee, an organic coffee plantation and sustainable farming business in Jamaica's Blue Mountains.[7] He appears in the documentary film Motherland.[8]

In 2011, Marley Coffee went public under the name Jammin Java Corp (OTC:JAMN).

In January 2012, Marley advertised a new 'House of Marley' range of eco-friendly headphones at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, NV.[9]

Marley helps run his family's charitable organization, 1Love.

Personal life

In college, Marley married his girlfriend Geraldine Khawly. Together they have a daughter, Eden, and a son, Nicolas, who attends Tulane University and plays linebacker on the school's football team.[10][11]

Marley and musician Lauryn Hill met in 1996. Hill has referred to Marley as her husband, though the legal status of their relationship is unknown.

Because of an October 2003 Rolling Stone article [10], the inaccuracy of Marley never divorcing his first wife Geraldine Khawly is considerably peddled; Marley was divorced in 1996 [12]. With Lauryn Hill he has five children.[13][14] Photos from the 1998 Billboard Music Awards, 1999 Soul Train Music Awards and 2000 42nd Grammys, respectively, indicate that Marley and Hill appeared at least engaged http://oi61.tinypic.com/348ogo8.jpg, http://i57.tinypic.com/fjmihl.jpg, http://i61.tinypic.com/2ijjdds.jpg It is unknown if Marley and Hill married. Their fifth child is a girl who was born in early 2008.[15][16][17][18][19] Lauryn Hill has recorded songs about two of her children with Marley. "To Zion" on her first solo effort, 1998's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill; and "Selah" featured on the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood soundtrack in 2002.[20] Hill is said to have recently been married: http://oi62.tinypic.com/2dl3ts7.jpg [21] The man in the photo is a fan.

Marley was engaged to Brazilian supermodel Isabeli Fontana, but in September 2012, the engagement ended.
