Reggae legend Bob Marley had 11 acknowledged children with seven different mothers before dying in 1981 at age 36. He had three children with his wife Rita Marley, and he adopted her two children from previous relationships. Like other famous musicians, Marley is rumored to have fathered more than the 11 children officially acknowledged by the late singer’s estate, leaving such claims largely unsubstantiated. Like any large family, Bob Marley’s children have gone on to a wide variety of pursuits in their adult lives. Some, like Marley’s first son Ziggy, have followed in their father’s footsteps. Others have stayed out of the spotlight or chosen other ways to honor their father’s legacy.
