Life as we know it for Lauryn Hill was torn asunder last week when the Grammy-winning singer was sentenced to three months in prison after pleading guilty to failing to pay three years. Although her family is undoubtedly experiencing some turmoil, Hill won’t have to worry about her kids while she’s gone because her famous ex-boyfriend, Rohan Marley, has pledged to care for their children until she returns.
Hill and Marley previously dated for 13 years before breaking up in 2009. The former flames have five kids together and Hill had a child with another man in 2011. Marley says that he’s always been involved in his kids’ lives and he’ll gladly step up to the role of main caretaker while Hill is gone.
“I will be there even more while she is dealing with this … to make sure that everything is fine,” said Marley to TMZ.
According to the report, their kids will primarily stay with Hill’s family members and Marley will be involved as much as possible.
Hill’s prison term will begin on July 8 when she’s scheduled to turn herself in to authorities.
Well, we’re glad that Marley and Hill’s kids will be taken care of during her prison stint, but she’s not the first celebrity mom to go to jail or prison. Check out some other celebrity moms who have had jail time below. – nicholas robinson
