Jermaine married Hazel Gordy (daughter of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy) in 1973. Their first child Jermaine Jr. (often called Jay), was born in 1977. Their daughter Autumn was born the following year in 1978. As Jermaine and Hazel were in the midst of a divorce, their third child, son Jaimy, was born in 1987.
While still married to Hazel, Jermaine began an affair with Margaret Maldonado. After Jermaine's divorce to Hazel was finalized in 1987, Margaret and Jermaine spent eight years together. The couple had two children: Jeremy Maldonado Jackson (1986) and Jourdynn Michael Jackson (1989).
Shortly after separating from Maldonado, Jermaine abruptly married Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza in 1995. This caused much controversy as Oaziaza had dated and had two children (Genevieve & Randy Jr) with Jermaine's brother, Randy Jackson.
Joseph Jackson gave Jermaine son Donte; whom he adopted with Alejandra7("Jackson Family Values", by Margret Maldonado and Richard Hack (1995))[citation needed]. The couple had sons Jaffar(July 25, 1996)and Jermajesty in 2000. Jermaine filed for divorce in November 2004, and it was finalized in May 2008. Jermaine was only ordered to pay $50,000 for Alej's legal fees and $50,000 back child support in August 2007; in exchange for Alej waiving her spousal support [3]. However it came to light during the court hearings that Alejandra was already married to Nicholas Ray for green card purposes at the same time as being married to Jermaine which meant that the marriage between Jermaine and Alejandra was null and void[citation needed].
Jermaine married his third wife, Halima Rashid, in 2004. They alternate living between Los Angeles and the Middle East.
