Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza, also known publicly as Alejandra Jackson, is a Colombian-born businesswoman and former fashion professional best known as the mother of actor and singer Jaafar Jackson. She had two children with Randy Jackson, later married his brother Jermaine Jackson, and had two sons with him. Randy and Oaziaza were never married.
Her name returned to wider public attention in 2026 as Jaafar took the lead role in Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic. Oaziaza appeared with Jaafar, Jermaine and Jermajesty Jackson at the film’s Los Angeles premiere on April 20, 2026, an appearance documented by Getty Images.
Today, her public work extends beyond her connection to the Jackson family. Her professional materials identify her as a co-founder and chief operating officer of ROGO Capital Partners, while nonprofit records list her as a director of We Do It Together. She also spoke at TEDxModena in 2025.
Her early life in Colombia and California
Oaziaza is Colombian. In a 2018 interview later revisited by Noticias Caracol and Los Informantes, she said she moved to the United States with her mother and younger brother when she was about 11 and attended school in Beverly Hills.
Those childhood details come from Oaziaza’s own recollection rather than an independently documented immigration or school record, but they offer the clearest public account of how she came to live in California.
The same interview also described her long connection to the Jackson household. Oaziaza said what she initially expected to be a short stay at Katherine Jackson’s home eventually stretched into roughly 22 years.
Her relationship with Randy Jackson
Oaziaza began a relationship with Randy Jackson in the 1980s. PEOPLE’s 2026 profile of Jaafar Jackson’s parents places their meeting in 1986 and states that they never married.
They had two children together: Genevieve Katherine Jackson, born in 1989, and Steven Randall Jackson Jr., born in 1992.
That distinction matters because some online summaries describe Randy and Jermaine Jackson as two brothers who both married Oaziaza. The documented record does not support that. Randy was her partner; Jermaine was her husband.
In her later Los Informantes interview, Oaziaza described the relationship with Randy as difficult. That characterization reflects her own account and should not be treated as an independent assessment of their private relationship.
Marriage to Jermaine Jackson
Oaziaza later became involved with Jermaine Jackson. According to a contemporaneous Associated Press report on Jermaine’s divorce filing, the couple married on March 18, 1995.
They had two sons: Jaafar Jackson, born in July 1996, and Jermajesty Jackson, born in October 2000.
Jermaine filed a divorce petition in Los Angeles Superior Court in November 2004. Their divorce was finalized in 2008. Later reporting has occasionally given 2007 as the filing year, but the 2004 Associated Press report was contemporaneous with the original petition and provides the clearer chronology.
Her children and the “mother of five” description
Oaziaza has four documented biological children: Genevieve Jackson and Steven Randall Jackson Jr. with Randy Jackson, and Jaafar and Jermajesty Jackson with Jermaine Jackson.
She also raised Donte Jackson. A 2014 Associated Press report on the Jackson family’s planned Reelz project identified Donte as having been adopted by Katherine and Joe Jackson and raised by Oaziaza.
That helps explain why Oaziaza describes herself publicly as a mother of five. It should not be rewritten as a claim that she has five biological children or that she was Donte’s legal adoptive parent.
Fashion work and Living With the Jacksons
Oaziaza has been publicly associated with fashion and design for years. Independent coverage from the late 2000s and later profiles describe fashion-business activity, while her own professional biographies continue to present fashion as part of her career history.
Some biographies also describe her as having earned a UCLA degree in “fashion design and marketing.” That precise credential should be treated cautiously: UCLA has stated that it does not offer a fashion-design major or minor. That does not establish that Oaziaza never attended UCLA or studied a related subject, but the exact degree wording is not firm enough to present as settled fact.
In 2014, Oaziaza and several of her children appeared publicly in connection with Living With the Jacksons, a planned Reelz reality project. The Associated Press described it as a six-episode series focused on the family’s life outside the Jackson family’s larger public image.
The project did not ultimately proceed as the announced television run. In August 2015, TV Insider reported that the production was no longer active after it had not been completed and delivered on schedule.
That makes it more accurate to describe Living With the Jacksons as a planned and promoted Reelz project, not as a completed reality series with a normal broadcast run.
What Alejandra Jackson does now
By September 2026, Oaziaza’s public profile had shifted toward business, nonprofit work and speaking.
Her professional website and ROGO Capital Partners materials list her as a co-founder and chief operating officer of the firm. Because those titles come primarily from company and self-published material, the most precise wording is that ROGO currently lists her in those roles.
Her nonprofit role is more independently documented. We Do It Together lists Alejandra Jackson as a director, and ProPublica’s IRS-derived nonprofit records also name her as a director in the organization’s 2024 tax filing.
In 2025, she appeared at TEDxModena. The TEDxModena speaker listing identifies her as part of the May 24 event, and TEDx later published her talk, Resilience – A Sacred Disruption. Her recent speaking material focuses on themes including reinvention, motherhood and identity.
Why she is in the public eye again
Oaziaza’s renewed visibility in 2026 is closely tied to Jaafar Jackson’s portrayal of Michael Jackson in Michael. Her appearance at the Los Angeles premiere placed her back in public photographs alongside Jaafar, Jermaine and Jermajesty.
That moment also brought renewed interest in a family history that is often simplified incorrectly online. Oaziaza was Randy Jackson’s partner, not his wife; she later married Jermaine Jackson; she has four biological children and also raised Donte Jackson; and her professional life now includes documented business, nonprofit and public-speaking work.
A few details often repeated in celebrity biographies remain too uncertain to state confidently, including her exact birth date, exact age, precise UCLA credential and some circulated versions of her birth surname. The strongest public record supports a clearer and more useful picture: Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza is a Colombian-born mother, former fashion professional and current business and nonprofit figure whose life has long intersected with the Jackson family, but whose public identity is not limited to it.
