Congratulations are in order for Isabeli Fontana, who recently announced she's engaged to Rohan Marley, son of singer Bob Marley.

Fontana, 28, told Brazilian newspaper Terra that she and Marley haven't set a date but plan to hold the wedding in Ethiopia. The country is the birthplace of Rastafarian culture, which holds a special significance for 39-year-old Marley.

"Rohan told me that we must return to their origins so that the marriage will last forever," Fontana said.

Fontana was previously wed to models Álvaro Jacomossi and Henri Castelli and had a son with each. Marley was once married to his college girlfriend and was in a relationship from 1996 to 2011 with singer Lauryn Hill, with whom he has five children. Last Summer, Fontana was rumored to have come between Marley and Hill, but Marley roundly denied that notion. He and Fontana have been dating since October 2011 and recently attended the Met Gala together.

Isabeli Fontana Rumored to Have Come Between Pregnant Lauryn Hill, Longtime Boyfriend Rohan Marley
>> Over the past weekend, Lauryn Hill gave birth to her sixth child by her longtime boyfriend Rohan Marley, son of Bob Marley. But the birth comes amidst speculation that Hill and Marley's relationship, which began in 1996, may be over — and that he left Hill for Isabeli Fontana. Last week, Fontana posted a picture of herself and Marley, with the caption, "I'm in love with [Rohan Marley]'s heart." Later, Marley took to Twitter to address rumors: "Ms. Hill is the mother of my children, whom I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for. I would never do that. The nature of our relationship something we don't expect people who spread gossip for a living to fully understand." Yesterday, he added: "I'm forwarding all well wishes to Ms. Hill on the birth of her new son. I'm sure she'll appreciate the love being sent to her." [NYDN]
Behind the Scenes of House of Marley with Rohan Marley
After checking out the awesome debut collections from House of Marley in the morning, I had a chance to sit down with the man behind the brand (or, at least one of them), Rohan Marley, son of Bob. Fittingly, since House of Marley is a family product, many of his younger family members were on hand too, and the entire group rocked most of the showroom floor with loud reggae. We were even lucky enough to catch Rick Fox jamming with Marley toward the end of the set. Also spotted: actress Eliza Dusku.
I chatted quickly with Marley about the inspiration behind the line, how it honors his father, and the show that rocked the CES floor — take a look!
