Who is Alejandro Fernandez Jr?
Mexican singer, social media star and YouTuber Alexander ‘Alex’ Fernandez Jr., was born under the zodiac sign Scorpio on 4 November 1993 in Mexico.

Alex has posted 51 videos, most of which are his original music videos, and all of these combined number nearly 80 million views.
He’s also known for being the son of famous Mexican singer Alejandro Fernandez Abarca, whose albums have sold more than 20 million copies, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists.
Early life and education
Alex was raised in Mexico City alongside his sisters Camila and America, as well as younger half-siblings Valentina, Emiliano and Jorge, by their father Alejandro and Alex’s mother America Guinart; Alejandro and America were married from 1992 through 1998, and he was then in a relationship with Colombian model Ximena Diaz. Alejandro underwent a vasectomy in the mid-2000s, believing that five children was enough.
Alex studied at a local high school in Mexico City, and became passionate about music around the age of 15, wanting to following in his father and grandfather’s footsteps; Alex’s grandfather was the late Mexican ranchera singer and actor Vicente Fernandez Gomez – aka El Rey de la Musica Ranchera, also known as El Idolo de Mexico, El Charro de Huentitan and Chente. Vicente released over 100 albums, and appeared in around 30 movies.
Alex’s father often took him to his music studio while he was growing up, and by the age of 17 he already knew that he wanted to pursue a career in the music industry. Alex matriculated in 2012 and then didn’t enroll at college; he’s released two studio albums: “Sigue La Dinastia” in 2019 and “Buscando el Olvido” in 2022.
