Alejandra Oaziaza, who now works publicly under the name Alejandra Jackson, is a Colombian-born fashion and business figure best known as the mother of actor and singer Jaafar Jackson. She had two children with Randy Jackson, but the pair did not marry. She later married Randy’s older brother Jermaine Jackson in 1995 and had two more children with him.
Her name is unusually complicated in the public record. Current entertainment coverage commonly calls her Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza or Alejandra Oaziaza Jackson, while a California appellate case involving the family identifies her as Alejandra Loaiza. Her present-day professional website uses simply Alejandra Jackson. The reason for the Oaziaza-Loaiza spelling difference has not been publicly established.
That name confusion is only one reason her biography is often misstated. Older coverage has sometimes called her Randy Jackson’s wife, although the stronger documentary record shows they were partners rather than spouses.
Early life and move to the United States
Alejandra is from Colombia. In an account based on a 2018 interview with Colombia’s Los Informantes, she said she moved to the United States at age 11 and later attended high school in Beverly Hills.
Her exact date of birth is not securely established in the public record. A California appellate opinion says she was 20 years old on August 23, 1989, when she filed a paternity and support case involving Randy Jackson. That provides a rough age range but not enough evidence for a precise birthday.
Claims that she earned a fashion-related degree from UCLA have also appeared in later profiles, but that detail has not been independently confirmed strongly enough to present as settled fact.
Was Alejandra Oaziaza married to Randy Jackson?
No. The strongest available record describes Randy Jackson as Alejandra’s former partner, not her husband.
The distinction matters because a number of older articles have called her Randy’s wife or ex-wife. A 2014 California appellate opinion, however, documents their relationship through a paternity and child-support case and says Randy had intended to marry her. It does not list him among Alejandra’s husbands.
Alejandra and Randy had two children together. Their daughter, Genevieve Katherine Jackson, was born in 1989. Their son, Steven Randall Jackson Jr., followed in 1992.
Alejandra later described the relationship as one that never became formalized. Jermaine Jackson, Randy’s older brother, subsequently became part of her life.
That sequence is often compressed into the claim that Jermaine “married his brother’s wife.” That description is misleading. Jermaine married Randy’s former partner and the mother of two of Randy’s children.
Her marriage to Jermaine Jackson
Alejandra married Jermaine Jackson on March 18, 1995, according to contemporaneous reporting based on his later divorce filing.
The couple had two sons. Jaafar Jackson was born in 1996, and Jermajesty Jackson was born in 2000. Jaafar later became an actor and singer and was cast as his uncle Michael Jackson in the 2026 biographical film Michael.
The court record also contains a lesser-known part of Alejandra’s marital history. It says she had married an unnamed man in Las Vegas in September 1993 and that the marriage was annulled in September 1995. The record provides the dates but does not establish a basis for speculation about the circumstances or intentions involved.
Alejandra and Jermaine separated on November 15, 2004. Jermaine filed for divorce four days later, on November 19.
The marriage was not legally dissolved until May 19, 2008. That distinction explains why some biographies give 2004 as the divorce date while others use 2008: 2004 marks the separation and filing period, while 2008 marks the final dissolution.
How many children did Alejandra Jackson raise?
Alejandra has four documented biological children: Genevieve and Steven Randall Jr. with Randy Jackson, and Jaafar and Jermajesty with Jermaine Jackson.
She also raised Donte Jackson from childhood. REELZ described Donte as having been raised by Alejandra from around the age of two, and Alejandra’s own professional biography refers to her as a mother of five.
That does not mean all five are her biological children. The more accurate description is that she had four biological children and also raised Donte as part of her family.
For a period beginning in the 1990s, Alejandra and her children lived at Hayvenhurst, the Jackson family home in Encino, California. The appellate record places her residence there from about 1993 until 2011.
Fashion and work outside the Jackson family
Although much of the public interest in Alejandra comes from her Jackson family connections, her own work has included fashion, media, business and nonprofit activity.
Her background in fashion is one of the more consistently documented parts of her career. In 2014, REELZ said she was returning to fashion design and working with her brother Franklin in Peru on a relaunch of her fashion line.
Specific claims about celebrity clients appear in promotional biographies, but those details are not independently strong enough to treat as the defining evidence of her career. The broader description of her as a fashion designer is better established.
Her public work later shifted toward business, consulting and speaking. That change became more visible in the mid-2020s, when she began presenting herself professionally around entrepreneurship, leadership and personal reinvention.
What happened to Living with the Jacksons?
In 2014, REELZ announced a reality project titled Living with the Jacksons, built around Alejandra and the children she was raising.
The project was promoted as a television event and was initially scheduled for a November 2014 premiere. Alejandra and several of the children appeared at a Television Critics Association event that July as part of the rollout.
The show did not ultimately reach viewers as planned. In August 2015, TV Insider reported that REELZ had scrapped the project after the production was not completed and delivered on schedule.
That makes a common description of Living with the Jacksons as a completed or aired reality series misleading. Alejandra worked on the planned production, but it was abandoned before its intended broadcast.
Her more recent public work
By 2025, Alejandra had moved into a more visible speaking and business role. She appeared at TEDxModena on May 24, 2025, with a presentation centred on reinvention and personal and professional change.
Her current professional website identifies her as a co-founder and chief operating officer of ROGO Capital Partners and also presents her as a consultant and speaker. That executive title is her current public self-description; it should not be read as independently verified corporate reporting.
She also has documented nonprofit involvement. As of September 27, 2026, We Do It Together listed Alejandra Jackson on its board, a role also reflected in nonprofit filing data.
Those positions give her a public identity beyond the family relationships that first made her a subject of entertainment coverage.
Why Alejandra Oaziaza drew fresh attention in 2026
Interest in Alejandra increased again in 2026 because of Jaafar Jackson’s leading role in Michael, the film about his uncle Michael Jackson.
Alejandra attended the Los Angeles premiere on April 20, 2026, alongside members of the Jackson family. The appearance brought her back into contemporary entertainment coverage and prompted renewed searches about how she fits into the family.
The answer is less sensational than some older headlines suggest. Alejandra had two children with Randy Jackson but did not marry him. She later married Jermaine Jackson, had two more children with him, and raised Donte Jackson alongside them.
Her public profile today also extends beyond that family history. By September 2026, she was presenting herself through business, consulting and speaking work while serving in a documented nonprofit board role.
The remaining uncertainties are comparatively narrow but important. Her exact birth date is not publicly established, the Oaziaza-Loaiza surname difference has not been authoritatively explained, and some education claims remain insufficiently confirmed. Those gaps do not change the central biography: Alejandra Jackson is a Colombian-born fashion and business figure whose life became closely connected to the Jackson family, but whose later public work has increasingly focused on her own professional identity.
