Rohan Marley (49), Bob Marley’s son, showed major love to his ex-love, Lauryn Hill. The father of five of Lauryn’s 6 kids, has always been one to hold his ex-Queen up in the highest regard, no matter what they went through behind closed doors. May 26, 2021 was no different, when he took to Instagram to send a b-day message to Lauryn for her 46th birthday.
Rohan Marley’s Loving B-Day Message To Lauryn
Like his beloved Jamaican father, Rohan Marley is a devoted Rastafarian. In his many online posts, he makes that very clear and in his b-day post to Lauryn Hill, instead of wishing her a ‘happy birthday,’ he sent her the “BLESSED EARTH STRONG” salute. ‘Blessed (or happy) earth strong’ is the common Jamaican patois phrase used among Rastas, to represent the number of years one has been going strong on this earth.

Blessed Love to You ..
Super Mother to Our Lovely Children …

#LIONORDER 👑
Lauryn Hil Give Thanks for B-Day Wishes
In an Instagram post, Lauryn Hill shared a touching medssage for everyone who sent her love on her forty-sixth orbit around teh sun:
While we’re on the topic of Lauryn’s offspring, little is known about Lauryn’s seldomly-seen 9-year-old son, Micah Hill, but you can check out a throwback photo of him below…
Throwback photo of Lauryn Hill with her son, Micah Hill [on her lap]; son, Joshua; and daughters, Selah and SarahRohan also has two older children from a prior relationship. For the longest, fans had assumed that Lauryn’s sixth child, Micah, was Rohan’s son, because most did not know they’d broken up after 10 years. In 2011, shortly after giving birth to Micah (who’s real father’s identity remains a secret) Lauryn released a statement to fans about Rohan:

“Mr. Marley and I have a long and complex history about which MANY inaccuracies have been reported since the beginning,” Hill wrote on her website. “To speculate without the facts can only cause people to form WRONG conclusions.”
Prior to Lauryn releasing her statement, many fans bashed Rohan for ‘not supporting’ Lauryn throughout her pregnancy with Micah, due to their assumptions that he was Micah’s dad. However, out of his respect for Lauryn, Rohan refrained from letting the public know the child was not his. He left that up to Lauryn to clear up, before speaking on the topic in 2011:
“People would rather listen to gossip than hear from the actual individuals,” Rohan Marley tweeted. “Some people just don’t want the truth.”
Rohan Expressed Regret After Split From Lauryn
Following their split, Rohan did an interview expressing how much he still loved Lauryn and the regrets he has:
“I feel sad that I loved her so much and I faltered in expressing it to her somehow. It was my fault that she did not understand how I felt, and it was sad that we did not work out in that relationship sense. I was heartbroken for a long time.”
It’s sad that Lauryn’s and Rohan’s relationship couldn’t last, but they seem to be a happily blended co-parenting family today. That’s a beautiful thing.
