Ali proposed to her after their first date, and they married a month later, in August 1964. Their marriage terminated two years later due to Roi’s unwillingness to join the Nation of Islam. In August of the following year, Ali married his second wife, Belinda Boyd, who eventually changed her name to Khalilah Ali. They have four children from their marriage: rapper Maryum in 1968, twins Jamillah and Rasheda in 1970, and Muhammad Ali Jr. in 1972.
Muhammad was having an adulterous romance at the time with a 16-year-old Wanda Bolton, who subsequently changed her name to Aaisha Ali and whom Ali ultimately married in an Islamic ceremony but was not legally recognized. Khaliah, the couple’s daughter, was born in 1974.

“What you do on Earth is the rent you pay to enter paradise,”
