Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza is a Colombian-born fashion designer best known publicly as the mother of Jaafar Jackson. Her name has drawn attention largely because of her son’s rising profile and because of her place within one of the most recognized families in American entertainment history — a place she holds through two separate relationships with two brothers from the Jackson family.

Who Is Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza?
Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza was born in Colombia and later built a professional life in fashion design. She studied fashion design and marketing at UCLA and went on to found Alejandra Jackson Designs, a business centered on handmade textiles and products shaped by Colombian and Peruvian craft traditions.
Outside of her professional work, she is most widely recognized through her family connections — first as the long-term partner of Randy Jackson and later as the former wife of his brother Jermaine Jackson. Those two relationships gave her four children across two branches of the same family.
Her Relationship with Randy Jackson
Before her marriage to Jermaine Jackson, Alejandra was in a long-term relationship with Randy Jackson, Jermaine’s younger brother. The two were never married, but they had two children together: a daughter, Genevieve Katherine Jackson, and a son, Steven Randall Jackson Jr.
The relationship with Randy came first. Alejandra’s later connection to Jermaine represented an unusual shift within the family, one that has been noted in reporting on the Jackson family’s complicated personal dynamics over the years.
Marriage to Jermaine Jackson and Their Sons
Alejandra married Jermaine Jackson on March 18, 1995. Together they had two sons. Jaafar Jeremiah Jackson was born in July 1996, and Jermajesty Jermaine Jackson was born in October 2000.
The marriage ended when Jermaine filed for divorce in 2004. The divorce was finalized in 2008, according to People.
Alejandra’s Four Children
Alejandra has four children in total, split across her two relationships with the Jackson brothers.
Her two older children, Genevieve Katherine Jackson and Steven Randall Jackson Jr., were born during her relationship with Randy Jackson. Her two younger sons, Jaafar Jackson and Jermajesty Jackson, were born during her marriage to Jermaine. All four children share the Jackson surname despite having different fathers who are themselves brothers.
Alejandra Jackson Designs and Her Work in Fashion
Alejandra’s professional identity is rooted in fashion design. She founded Alejandra Jackson Designs, which focuses on handmade products influenced by the textile traditions of Colombia and Peru. The business reflects both her Colombian background and an interest in craft-based design that goes beyond mainstream commercial fashion.
Her professional profile lists study in fashion design and marketing at UCLA as part of her background. People has noted her fashion work and the Colombian and Peruvian influences that shape it. Readers interested in following coverage of fashion entrepreneurs and family figures in entertainment can find related reporting at First Business Mag.
Beyond the business name, the UCLA background, and the textile focus, broader career claims that appear in self-published professional material have not been independently confirmed by outside reporting, so they are not presented here as established fact.
Her Place in the Jackson Family
Alejandra’s connection to the Jackson family is direct and long-standing, even though she and Jermaine have been divorced for years. She shares children with two brothers — Randy and Jermaine — which gives her a distinct and somewhat unusual position in the family’s history.
Her son Jaafar has stepped into public attention in his own right, which has brought renewed interest in Alejandra and her background. Her daughter Genevieve and son Steven, children of Randy Jackson, are also part of the extended Jackson family through their father’s side. All four of Alejandra’s children are therefore connected to one of the most prominent families in American music history, each through a direct parental line.
Alejandra herself has not been a prominent public figure in the way that members of the Jackson family have been. Her public profile is tied primarily to her family relationships and, separately, to her work in fashion — a career she has pursued on her own terms outside of the spotlight that has followed the Jacksons for decades.
