Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza, who works under the name Alejandra Jackson, is a fashion designer born in Bogotá, Colombia. She is the mother of Jaafar Jackson, the actor who plays his uncle Michael Jackson in the 2026 biopic Michael. Her ties to the Jackson family run through two brothers. She had two children with Randy Jackson, whom she never married. In 1995 she married his older brother Jermaine Jackson, and they had two sons, Jaafar and Jermajesty. That marriage ended in 2008.
The most detailed public record of her life with the family isn’t a celebrity profile. It’s a 2014 California appeals court opinion that names her as Alejandra Loaiza and notes that she is sometimes called Alejandra Jackson. It confirms her Colombian roots and sets out dates for her years at the Jackson family home in Encino.

Where Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza is from
Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza is Colombian. Argentina’s La Nación and Colombia’s El Colombiano both report that she was born in Bogotá and moved to Los Angeles as a child with her mother and younger brother. The appeals court opinion refers to Colombia as her “native country,” and Mexico’s Agencia Reforma describes her as a Latina woman. La Nación adds that when Alejandra was 15, her mother went back to Colombia, and she was left to care for her brother.
Her exact birthday isn’t public. Some online profiles list birth years of 1987 or 1995, but those can’t be right because her first child was born in 1989. The court opinion gives a firmer reference point: she was 20 years old when she filed a lawsuit on August 23, 1989. That puts her birth between late August 1968 and August 1969, so she would be 57 or 58 as of November 2026. Agencia Reforma’s June 2026 report that she was 57 fits that range.
Her relationship with Randy Jackson
People reported in 2024, citing the New York Post, that Alejandra met Randy Jackson in 1986, when she was about 17 and he was 24. They dated for several years but never married. Their daughter, Genevieve Katherine Jackson, was born in 1989. Their son, Steven Randall Jackson Jr., was born in 1992, and the court opinion says he was born in Colombia.
That opinion is Loaiza v. Jackson, decided by California’s Second Appellate District on June 10, 2014, and it’s the main public record of the relationship. In August 1989, while pregnant with Genevieve, Alejandra sued for acknowledgment of paternity and child support. A default judgment followed in 1990. More than 20 years later, Randy Jackson convinced a trial court that he had never been served with the lawsuit, and the court set the judgment aside and dismissed the case. The appeals court upheld that dismissal. Its decision turned on service of process, not on whether support was owed. The opinion also notes that he had never denied being the father of either child.
The same record explains how she came to live with the Jacksons. A child-support agreement dated October 1993 promised housing, food and utilities for her and the two children at the family’s Hayvenhurst estate in Encino. According to the court, she lived there from 1993 through 2011, which is 19 years. In a 2018 interview with Colombia’s Los Informantes, quoted by Agencia Reforma, she put the figure higher: “Se suponía que yo llegaba por un mes a la casa, pero terminé viviendo 22 años.” In English (translation): she was supposed to come to the house for a month and ended up living there 22 years.
The relationship with Randy wore down over time. La Nación and Reforma, both citing a New York Post interview, report that she felt Randy didn’t treat her as though she were the right partner for him.
Marriage to Jermaine Jackson
People reported in 2024 that Alejandra married Jermaine Jackson on March 18, 1995. The common claim that Jermaine married his brother’s wife is wrong. She and Randy never married, and the 1989 paternity suit shows they were an unmarried couple.
According to La Nación, she saw Jermaine as more family-oriented. She also told Los Informantes the situation was hard. El Colombiano quotes her: “Fue difícil por haber estado con Randy y después casarme con Jermaine… pero tomé la decisión de seguir adelante y no sentirme menos.” In English (translation): it was difficult to have been with Randy and then marry Jermaine, but she decided to move forward and not feel lesser. In the same interview, as quoted by Reforma, she recalled Michael Jackson asking Jermaine whether he loved her and, when Jermaine said yes, telling him “Congratulations.”
The court opinion says the couple lived at Hayvenhurst with all four of her children and Katherine Jackson. Jaafar was born in July 1996 and Jermajesty in October 2000. People reported in 2024 that Jermaine filed for divorce in 2004. The court record shows the marriage was dissolved by a stipulated judgment on May 19, 2008, and that Alejandra stayed on at the house afterward. The couple are no longer together, and Jermaine later remarried.
How many children Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza has
Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza has four biological children:
- Genevieve Katherine Jackson, born 1989, with Randy Jackson
- Steven Randall “Randy” Jackson Jr., born 1992, with Randy Jackson
- Jaafar Jeremiah Jackson, born July 1996, with Jermaine Jackson
- Jermajesty Jermaine Jackson, born October 2000, with Jermaine Jackson
She also helped raise Donte Jackson, which is why her Instagram bio calls her a “Mother of 5.”
Because two brothers fathered her children, the family tree has an unusual overlap. Genevieve and Randy Jr. are Jaafar and Jermajesty’s half-siblings through their mother, and their first cousins through their fathers. In 2015, all five children were due to appear with her in a reality series, Living with the Jacksons, about her raising them under one roof. People reported in 2024 that the show was later scrapped. In its trailer, Genevieve joked about the arrangement: “That might seem a little strange for people, but thank God it was in the family.”
Why her name appears in different spellings
“Oaziaza” is the spelling in People’s 2024 profile of Jaafar Jackson’s parents and in La Nación’s 2026 coverage. The 2014 court opinion names the plaintiff as Alejandra Loaiza and adds in a footnote that she is sometimes called Alejandra Jackson. She uses the Jackson name for her design work, her public speaking and her Instagram account. El Colombiano gives a fourth version, Alejandra Rodríguez Martínez, which no other outlet repeats. Every one of these names refers to the same woman, the mother of Genevieve, Randy Jr., Jaafar and Jermajesty.
Her work and public life now
People reported in 2024, citing her LinkedIn profile, that Alejandra studied fashion design and marketing at UCLA. The same article says she founded Alejandra Jackson Designs, which translates “the Colombian and Peruvian cultures of textiles into an array of handmade designs.” Those details are her own account of her background.
On May 24, 2025, she spoke at TEDxModena in Fiorano Modenese, Italy, an event themed “Disruption”. The organizers listed her as an “entrepreneur and Hollywood stylist” sharing “an intense story of rebirth and awareness,” and her talk is titled “Resilience – A Sacred Disruption.” La Nación reports that in the talk she described going outside barefoot at age four to find help because she was alone with her crying baby brother. She also spoke about losing part of her identity in her family roles. She said parts of the Jackson family never understood her, but that she didn’t see herself as a victim.
She has stayed largely out of the attention around Michael. In June 2026, Agencia Reforma reported her reply when Gente! magazine contacted her: “En este momento quiero que toda la atención siga enfocada en mi hijo.” In English (translation): right now she wants all the attention to stay on her son.
Final Thoughts
Anyone reading a new profile of Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza can check it against the 2014 appeals court opinion. Its dates for her age in 1989, her move to Hayvenhurst in 1993 and the end of her marriage to Jermaine in May 2008 come from the court’s own account of the record, not from biographies copied from site to site.
