Arguably the best reggae artist to have ever lived, Bob Marley continues to impact millions of people with his soulful voice and deep lyrics. However, what intrigues us most about Bob Marley, aside from his politically conscious songs, was the unique lifestyle he lived. You are probably aware that Bob Marley was a dedicated Rastafarian. Well, that might be pretty obvious from his thick locs that eventually became his trademark. I bet you are also well-aware of his love for smoking a joint every so often. However, what you might not be aware of is that his personal life was just as mysterious and intriguing. For example, did you know Bob Marley sired 11 children? This article introduces you to Bob Marley wife and his children. On 10th February, 1996 in Kingston Jamaica, Bob married Alpharita Constantia “Rita” Anderson. Together, they had four children.

The Chelsea stopper was axed for the win over Tottenham as Willy Caballero was given the nod Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has confirmed Kepa Arrizabalaga will remain his No.1 goalkeeper. The Spaniard was axed for the 2-0 win over Tottenham after refusing to come off in Sunday's Carabao Cup final defeat to Man City. Willy Caballero replaced Kepa at Stamford Bridge and impressed as he kept a clean sheet. But Sarri insists his £75m stopper is still his No.1 and will be back in action in the coming weeks. Chelsea face Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday before hosting Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League. "It was the right decision, Kepa made a big mistake," Sarri said after the win over Spurs. "I don’t know if the next match he will be with us, but in one of the next two for sure. "We cannot kill him. When you are young you make mistakes, but you need to understand." Asked if Kepa is his long-term stopper, Sarri responded: "Of course....

Santiago Solari felt Real Madrid suffered an honourable defeat to Barcelona in their Copa del Rey semi-final but insists reaching the last four was no failure. The Catalan giants managed a 3-0 victory at Santiago Bernabeu to wrap up a 4-1 aggregate win. Luis Suarez scored twice either side of a Raphael Varane own goal as Barca claimed a 3-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu and a 4-1 aggregate victory. The defeat means the Catalans are into a sixth consecutive Copa final, having won the trophy four years in a row, while their treble hopes for 2018-19 remain alive. Madrid, meanwhile, know that the Champions League is now their best chance of ending the season with silverware as they sit nine points behind leaders Barca in La Liga. However, Solari does not think their defeat to Ernesto Valverde’s side should be considered a disastrous result. “Football is a forceful game,” he said. “We applied ourselves well, with energy, but we weren’t decisive. “We have been beaten with honour, but...

They say good things take time. However, we spend most of our lives seemingly rushing through things, only to look back days or months later regretting and wondering why we did that. Don't fall victim. Here are five things you should never rush into: 1.Making your relationship public It's always said a relationship is between two people.  Therefore, before you go into public commitment, it is imperative to ensure you are fully committed to your partner, and truly understand and appreciate your relationship.  Don't disclose anything if you are not ready, whether to your family or friends. Don't do it out of pressure. 2.Making a large financial commitment Owning a house, car, acres of land can be appealing and tempting, but very dangerous when you cannot handle them all, because you don't have enough money. Live within your means, work with what you have to get what you want. 3.Sex It is perfectly okay to wait before you decide to h...

Oh dear, yes, there is a time in your life where you will find yourself on the saddest spectrum of all. The one where you go from not missing her to missing her a little and then suddenly you are missing her like she has gone on and died. And when you finally reach that end of the chart and get to the point where missing her is driving you up a wall of regret, you might start to find yourself at a total loss of how to deal with it. So now you are sitting here wondering, ‘What is the next step here? What do I do?’ You are totally in your right mind to ask yourself that question. And you are even smarter for visiting this page today to help you with the answer. We know that this type of stuff can be ultimately difficult, and maybe even a little depressing, to take on. We get that. Love is known for how messy it can be for a reason. Feelings get slopped all over the place. Up is down and down is sideways. But don’t have too many worries about it, because we might actually have a solu...

Perhaps you just got into a new relationship, or you’ve been dating someone for a while, but either way, you’ve found yourself feeling a bit worried about your future together, looking for signs your relationship won’t last.  You probably feel your partner is pulling away a little, or maybe your passion for each other is beginning to fade. Or you just have weird feeling deep down in your gut that something isn’t right and you don’t even really know why. 1. Your passion for each other is fading When you feel your passion for your man or even just your passion for everything in general fading, then you know you’ve got a real issue to deal with. Also, if your man seems like he has lost interest in doing things he once enjoyed, that could be a sign, because it shows that he (or if it’s in your case, you) no longer really care. When your guy no longer has preferences, it usually means he has one foot out the door already. 2. He goes hot and cold on you This is a h...

It’s a common gripe amongst men that it’s always the same type of guys that get the girl: rich, tall, dark and handsome. Talk to women though, and they will nearly always disagree. Looks are on many women’s lists of attractive qualities, but what constitutes good looks varies considerably from girl to girl. Money too, does not appear as high as you might think, if at all, on most girls list, so let’s take a look at ten of the things that girls say really attract them to a man: 1. Romance is not a thing of the past  A sense of romance is a big thing for most women. They want to be swept off their feet by a prince charming and they want to be treated like a lady. So guys don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, flowers, chocolates and love poems are not a thing of the past! 2. Being generous with what you have is attractive While money may not be a big thing, being generous with what you have is. It’s not just about buying gifts for the girl though, being kind and genero...

Sometimes you and your partner might not be on the same page. When you're ready for a more serious, long-term relationship and you start dating someone new, it's not unusual to want to know if the person you've just started dating is on the same page. Though you might not be able to know for sure, there are some subtle and obvious signs that might mean the person you're dating doesn't actually want a serious relationship. If you recognize these signs, having a conversation with your partner might help you find clarity. They told you they weren't interested in something serious If the person you've started dating said that they're not looking for anything serious, you should believe them. Chances are, they're telling you the truth. "While everyone wants to be the special person that shows them commitment is worth having, that's more for the movies than real life," Theresa Herring, LMFT, a licensed marriage, and family ther...
