We're reflecting on the captivating love story of international superstar and reggae legend Bob Marley and his singer/manager/farmer/entrepreneur wife Rita Marley. After getting married in the 1960s while they were very young, they navigated the challenges of a relationship marked by the cravings and demands of Bob’s burgeoning music career. Their marriage wasn’t necessarily easy and at times and it’d make you want to ask yourself, is this love?

Rita had every right to move on and find comfort and love.

I think she was also extremely smart. While staying true to herself, accepting outside kids and their mothers, she kept her name (like Tina Turner did). She now an musical artist and icon in her own right and theeeee legal Mrs. Marley

5:01 While everyone else was thinking short... Mrs.Rita Marley was ALWAYS THINKING LONG!!🎉 This is why Bob Marley has the legacy he has today...RITA RITA RITA!! PHENOMENAL BLACK WOMAN!!🤎✊🏾💃🏿

@@joy2theworld488 Always she wasnt in it for fame or material things. She always had her vision which he shared of trying to make the world a better place through music. I think however Bob felt if he slept with some of these women he would get better help from them and make them more pliable to his will. The fact that he was a chronic womanizer didnt help. Remember Bob and Rita were poverty striken to the point where sometimes they didnt have food. BUT THEY HAD A CALLING ON THEIR LIVES! Music. He was pushing hard to get out of the bitter sweet ghetto. The fact is though he lost himself after the popularity came. As his widow says, too many yes men around him. He resented Rita sometimes cause she would remind him of their WHY! Cant be with so many women and not get confused and consume some bad energy! No matter how creative you are! Im draw bad card! mek wrong move. Jah say come, yuh inna too much mix up! and still even in death he left confusion behind for his wife to clean up as she was doing in life! Hmmm what a life!

I believe that Bob somehow realized that ' the race is not for swift or the battle for the strong but for those who endures to the end: The other mothers started the war but Queen-Rita won the battle.🎉🎉🎉

BOB DID MANY INTERVIEWS WHERE HE SAID THAT HE IS NOT MARRIED AND CONDEMNS WESTERN MARRIAGE. RITA ADMITTED THAT SHE AND BOB BROKE UP AND THAT THEY BECAME FRIENDS AND THAT SHE WAS LIKE A SISTER TO HIM. AND RITA ONLY CLAIMED WIFE STATUS AFTER BOB LEFT AND CALLED HERSELF THE QUEEN OF REGGAE. 😂 SHE IS A CUBAN BORN FRAUD.😂😂

She was no fool, she was like two can play that game. All those women thought they were hotstuff. Beauty is only skin deep. Ester I remember from a Warm December and she did not hold up in the looks department. Cindy ok but she looks sort of like a old witch now. They never had him he would have cheated on all of them. He was messing with his precious Cindy's friends. In the end Great innovator of Reagge Music but messy with women.

I love your stories my dear but Bob Marley was not unfaithful to Rita Marley because she knew all his secrets and his songs, but the rest of the women who were with him knew almost nothing about Bob Marley. He was sincere with Rita Marley. Bob Marley has songs that were dedicated to Rita Marley, she was his only pure love. If Rita Marley had not gotten sick, he would not have children or he wouldn't have a sex with any woman except Rita Marley because his dream was to have many children, but there was a day when that happened to Rita Marley. They were both. sleeping in a place where it was very cold until Rita Marley got sick because the cold damaged Rita Marley's ovaries and she could never have children so that's why Bob Marley had affairs with other women and had children with them but Rita Marley she knew everything that's why she accepted all his children that he had with others because of the love she had for him that's why they were together because bob Marley only intended to have many children but because Rita Marley she couldn't have children after getting sick then for that he had children with other women's. the other day i saw one video about Bob Marley someone says that bob Marley died because he had a cancer it`s isn't true he died because his time has reach to die and because of politic he deserve the respect because when he was alive he haven`t get the peace because the songs that he was singing was true words about the live and god

Seems like you’re trying to belittle The Honoroble 👑QUEEN MRS Rita Marley. She hasn’t had much children. You make it sounds as if she was dropping a baby every nine months. She is very dark skinned but she was a good looking young girl. You, like most black people accept your slave masters perception of equating black (v.dark skin) with ugly. I’ve read and heard a lot of reviews but none with such negative tickle tackle like yours. Rita is a beautiful person, and without a shadow of a doubt is the Great woman behind the Great man. That other woman was engaged to marry when Bob died and another woman was pregnant for Bob when Damian was 1 year’s old. Regardless of the fact that romance had died between Bob and Rita, He did love her, his mother said he was madly in love when he marry her.❤She also contributed to those early days recordings. Importantly, he hadn’t divorced her because she is of much value to him. He brought two of his children to Rita for Rita to bring them up. That says a lot about Rita. Why didn’t he bring them to that one. The adulterous spirits prove too strong to get rid off. That other woman had moved on before he died.😉 The BIG thing is this - he became more famous after he died not to mention the millions $ after he died. That’s what they really covet. But God knows who deserve it. One 💖

Bob Marley did not cheat on Rita, he was honest, did not hide his love for other women. And I think 🤷🏽‍♀️ it was big of him to just expect that she needed eh another lover as well, while he was away. In my eyes they had perfect love ❤️✍🏾 Not easy, but REAL unconditional ❤ 😜🌍💋✈️. Leah Tunkara
