Who is Jimmy Cliff's wife, Latifa Chambers?

Jimmy Cliff's wife, Latifa Chambers, stayed out of the spotlight while her husband continued to earn the world's affection with his music. Although Jimmy toured the world and took Jamaican music across the world, his wife stayed back to support their home.

However, her name came into the public domain when she confirmed Jimmy Cliff's death to the public. She shared an emotional message on her Instagram handle and wrote that her husband passed away due to a seizure followed by pneumonia. Additionally, she expressed her gratitude to her family, friends, and coworkers who were a part of his journey. Further, the official message was signed by their children, Lilty and Aken. The heartfelt tribute reflected Latifa's grace and support for her husband. 

Latifa rarely gave any interviews and made minimal public appearances to protect the sanctity of their relationship in the glitzy world of entertainment.

On the other hand, their third daughter, Nabiyah Be, followed in her father's footsteps to step into the world of entertainment as an actress. Jimmy was protective of all three kids and intentionally kept them away from the pressures of public life. Despite his rising popularity, he believed that his kids deserved a life where they had the right to make their own choices rather than being pressured by public scrutiny.
