Though they were never married, Lauryn and Rohan Marley (son of Bob Marley) have five children together. Lauryn has a sixth child, but not with Rohan. When she got pregnant with their eldest son Zion, so many people were telling her to get an abortion so it wouldn't "ruin her career". She followed her heart and decided to keep her baby. During this time she was working on her first solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The fourth track of this album is called "To Zion" which she started writing to her son when she was still pregnant with him.
