Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lauryn Hill recently became a grandmother with the arrival of Zephaniah Nesta, her son Zion’s newborn baby boy. 

Hill is the mother of six children, five with Rohan Marley, former football player and son of music icon Bob Marley. The father of her sixth, Micah, is publicly unknown.

Hill is a famously private person, so not much is known about the lives of her children. But, for those of you who are curious, we’ve gathered what we could about the six cool kids who get to call Lauryn Hill mom. 

Take a look…

01
Zion Marley

The singer recently became a grandmother for the first time when her eldest, Zion, welcomed a baby boy named Zephaniah. Zion is also the subject of Hill’s “To Zion,” from her iconic debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Selah has carved a path for herself in the modeling world, making waves after walking in Kanye’s Yeezy Season 4 show. She’s appeared in Vogue, recently starred in Beyoncé’s latest Ivy Park campaign, and was front and center in Miu Miu’s new lookbook.

Joshua Omaru Marley

Josh stays pretty low key with an Instagram full of regular posts and one track on his Soundcloud account that’s pretty good.

John keeps a very low profile, but does occassionally pop up on his dad’s ‘gram.

Sarah Marley

Hill’s youngest daughter, Sarah popped up onstage with her mother at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Nigeria during a performance in 2015, completely stealing the show. We wonder if one day she’ll follow in her mom’s footsteps.
