Personal life
On 18 March 1993, while a sophomore in college, Marley married his girlfriend Geraldine Khawly. They had a daughter, Eden, and a son, Nico, a linebacker who played at Tulane and was signed by the Washington Redskins in 2017.
Marley met musician Lauryn Hill in 1996. They had five children: Zion David (b. August 1997); Selah Louise (b. September 1998); Joshua Omaru (b. 2002) John Nesta (b. 2003); and Sarah (b. 2008). Marley and Hill lived apart for most of their relationship, which ended for good in 2009. Marley took temporary custody of their five children while Hill served a three-month prison sentence for tax evasion in 2013.
For years, Hill referred to Marley as her husband, but they never married. Rolling Stone suggested that Marley had never divorced Khawly. However, in 2011, Marley produced a Haitian divorce decree which demonstrated that he had divorced Khawly in 1996.
Marley was briefly engaged to Isabeli Fontana, but the engagement ended in early 2013.
