Grammy award winning singer Lauryn Hill’s ex and father of her five children, Rohan Marley, 39, is engaged to his Brazilian model girlfriend Isabeli Fontana, 28. Rumors suggested that the couple where dating while Hill was pregnant with her sixth child (not fathered by Marley). The couple plans to wed in Ethiopia where the Rastafarian movement started. EurWeb reports:

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.
