ENTANGLEMENT?! MEET THE WOMAN WHO HAD KIDS WITH BOTH RANDY AND JERMAINE JACKSON

Baby, somebody bring out the poster board.

Because the Jackson family tree already had enough branches to shade an entire neighborhood, and then Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza came along and said:

“LET ME CONNECT A FEW OF THESE.” 😭😂

This isn't some fresh internet rumor.

Alejandra had children with Randy Jackson and later married and had children with Randy's older brother, Jermaine Jackson.

Yes.

BROTHERS.

Same woman.

Four biological children.

And the children somehow ended up being siblings AND cousins.

We'll explain that part because baby...

THE MATH IS MATHING, BUT IT'S MAKING MY HEAD HURT. 😭

👀 FIRST CAME RANDY JACKSON

Alejandra was first in a relationship with Randy Jackson, the youngest Jackson brother.

Together, Randy and Alejandra had two children:

Genevieve Katherine Jackson, born in 1989, and Steven Randall “Randy” Jackson Jr., born in 1992.

Eventually, Randy and Alejandra's relationship ended.

Okay.

That happens.

People break up.

People move on.

You meet somebody new.

Maybe somebody from work.

Somebody at the grocery store.

Somebody at church.

Hell, somebody from another ZIP code.

ALEJANDRA MOVED DOWN THE FAMILY TREE.

😭😭😭

Because the next man was...

JERMAINE JACKSON.

Randy's BROTHER.

💍 THEN SHE MARRIED JERMAINE

Alejandra and Jermaine Jackson married in 1995.

And they didn't just date for a minute and create an awkward Thanksgiving memory.

They built a family.

Alejandra and Jermaine had two sons:

Jaafar Jackson, born in 1996, and Jermajesty Jackson, born in 2000.

Yes, THAT Jaafar Jackson, the singer and actor who portrayed his uncle Michael Jackson in the Michael biopic.

So let's stop right here and count.

With Randy:

Genevieve + Randy Jr.

With Jermaine:

Jaafar + Jermajesty.

FOUR BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN.

TWO FATHERS.

THE TWO FATHERS ARE BROTHERS.

😭

🤯 WHICH MEANS THE KIDS ARE SIBLINGS AND COUSINS

Now THIS is where you need to put the coffee down.

All four children have the same mother, Alejandra.

That makes Genevieve and Randy Jr. half-siblings with Jaafar and Jermajesty.

But Randy and Jermaine are brothers.

So Randy's children and Jermaine's children are ALSO...

FIRST COUSINS.

Yes.

They are half-brothers and sisters through their mother AND first cousins through their fathers.

Baby...

Ancestry.com just closed the laptop.

😭😭😭

This family tree doesn't branch.

IT BRAIDS.

❤️ AND WHO IS THE FIFTH CHILD, DONTE?

If you've seen photographs of Alejandra with her children, you may have noticed five kids, not four.

That's because Donte Jackson was also raised by Alejandra.

But here's the distinction:

DONTE IS NOT ALEJANDRA'S BIOLOGICAL CHILD.

Donte was adopted by Joe and Katherine Jackson, the parents of Michael, Janet, Jermaine, Randy and the rest of the famous Jackson siblings.

According to Associated Press reporting, Alejandra began raising Donte when he was around 2 years old, and he grew up alongside her four biological children.

So Alejandra's household included:

Genevieve, Randy Jr., Jaafar, Jermajesty and Donte.

She gave birth to four and raised five.

There have been rumors over the years concerning Donte's biological parentage, but reliable reporting does not establish those claims as fact. What is documented is that Joe and Katherine adopted him and Alejandra helped raise him.

We're not adding somebody else's daddy to this family tree without receipts.

THIS TREE IS ALREADY BUSY ENOUGH. 😭😂

🏠 AND THEY WERE ALL LIVING AT THE JACKSON FAMILY COMPOUND

Now HERE'S another layer.

Alejandra and the children spent years living at Hayvenhurst, the Jackson family's famous compound in Encino, California.

So this wasn't:

“I had kids with two brothers and everybody went their separate ways.”

THEY WERE STILL IN JACKSON CENTRAL.

After Michael Jackson's death in 2009, Katherine was also caring for Michael's three children, Prince, Paris and Bigi, at the property.

By 2010, reports emerged that Katherine wanted Alejandra and her children to move out as the household arrangements changed. TMZ reported that housing alternatives were discussed, including a nearby condo.

Baby...

Imagine THAT breakfast table.

I'm not even talking about drama.

I'm talking about remembering everybody's relationship to everybody else before you've had coffee.

😭

👀 THEN CAME LAWYERS, HOUSING DISPUTES AND TALK OF A TELL-ALL

The story didn't exactly become less complicated after that.

Reports at the time described disagreements involving housing and financial support as Alejandra prepared to leave Hayvenhurst.

Then in 2011, TMZ reported that Alejandra was exploring both a reality television project and a tell-all book about her experiences with the Jackson family.

WAIT.

A TELL-ALL?!

A woman who:

Had children with Randy Jackson...

Married Randy's brother Jermaine...

Had two more children...

Raised Joe and Katherine's adopted son...

And lived for years inside the Jackson family compound...

was considering writing a BOOK?!

BABY, THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A BOOK.

THAT WOULD'VE BEEN AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.

😭😂

Some reporting from that period relied on unnamed sources, so we're not treating every old tabloid allegation as established fact.

Trust us.

THE CONFIRMED PARTS ARE JUICY ENOUGH.

💔 JERMAINE AND ALEJANDRA EVENTUALLY SPLIT TOO

Jermaine filed for divorce from Alejandra in 2004, citing irreconcilable differences.

Their marriage eventually ended, leaving Alejandra no longer romantically involved with either Jackson brother.

But by then?

Baby, the family tree had already been laminated.

😂

The relationships created a permanent connection between Alejandra and one of the most famous musical families in history.

And despite how unusual the genealogy sounds when outsiders explain it, recent coverage of the family shows the children themselves have maintained close sibling relationships.

Because at the end of the day...

THE KIDS DIDN'T CREATE ANY OF THIS.

They're brothers and sisters.

They grew up together.

And whatever labels the family tree gives them, that's their family.

🎬 AND NOW JAAFAR IS CARRYING ON THE JACKSON LEGACY

Here's where the story comes full circle.

Jaafar Jackson, Alejandra's son with Jermaine, grew up to portray his uncle Michael Jackson on the big screen.

And his siblings have publicly supported him.

So decades after Randy, Jermaine and Alejandra created one of the most complicated branches of the Jackson family...

the next generation appears much less concerned about the labels.

Brother.

Sister.

Cousin.

HOW ABOUT FAMILY? ❤️

And that's probably the healthiest way to look at it.

But that doesn't mean Lady Red doesn't have QUESTIONS.

😂

🔴 LADY RED SAYS...

Okay.

Now that we've respectfully acknowledged the children had absolutely NOTHING to do with the grown folks' decisions...

ALEJANDRA, RANDY AND JERMAINE... COME TO THE FRONT OF THE CLASS.

😭😭😭

Because I need to understand the transition.

You dated Randy.

Had TWO babies.

That relationship ended.

And out of every man walking around California...

YOU LOOKED OVER AND SAID, “WHAT JERMAINE DOING?”

MA'AM.

😂😂😂

And JERMAINE!

That's your brother's baby mama!

Not somebody Randy took to Applebee's twice.

THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN.

And then y'all got MARRIED.

And had TWO MORE CHILDREN.

Baby, this wasn't an entanglement.

THIS WAS A FAMILY MERGER.

😭😭😭

Now imagine Randy at the wedding.

Actually...

DON'T.

We don't know whether he was there.

See how rumors get started? 😂

But you KNOW somebody somewhere in that family had to sit down and say:

“Okay... so how exactly are we doing Christmas?”

And the children's relationship?

That is the part that still gets me.

They're half-siblings AND first cousins.

Imagine explaining that at school.

“That's my brother.”

“Oh.”

“And my cousin.”

“Which one?”

“HIM.”

“Which is he?”

“YES.”

😭😭😭😭

Then there's Donte.

Alejandra didn't biologically have him, but she helped raise him from around age 2.

So when you see those pictures of Alejandra with five children, now you understand:

SHE GAVE BIRTH TO FOUR AND RAISED FIVE.

And all four biological children?

Jackson daddy.

Not one.

TWO DIFFERENT JACKSON BROTHERS.

Baby...

I have covered celebrity relationships.

I've covered marriages.

Divorces.

Cheating.

Secret babies.

Entanglements.

But THIS?

THIS NEEDS A FLOWCHART.

😂😂😂

And somehow the children seem to have grown up saying:

“Whatever. That's my brother. That's my sister.”

Good for THEM.

Because grown folks can make the biggest mess imaginable...

and children still deserve the opportunity to build something loving out of it.

So we'll laugh at the ADULT situation.

But leave those kids alone.

And Alejandra?

Girl...

You once reportedly described your story as a “long story.”

WE BELIEVE YOU.

Because apparently the short version still requires a diagram.

😭😂
