Jermaine Jackson’s parenting history spans several decades prior to his relationship with Alejandra. His first marriage was to Hazel Gordy, daughter of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy. Lasting from 1973 to 1988, that union produced three children: Jermaine Jackson Jr. (born 1977), Autumn Jackson (born 1978), and Jaimy Jackson (born 1987). Jermaine Jr. remains an active face in entertainment, having played his own father in the 1992 miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream.

Following his split from Gordy, Jermaine entered an unmarried relationship with Margaret Maldonado. That union produced two additional sons: Jeremy Maldonado Jackson (born 1986) and Jourdynn Michael Jackson (born 1989). These five individuals are Jaafar’s paternal half-siblings. While age gaps meant they did not all share childhood bedrooms at Hayvenhurst, they maintain active communication during Jackson family reunions and milestone celebrations.
