Early Life
Alejandra Fernández was born on March 11, 1984 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. While nothing is known about her biological father, her biological mother is Gloria Abarca Villasenor.
Vicente Fernández and his wife Maria del Refugio adopted Alejandra when she was only 40 days old. The little girl became the youngest member of the music legend’s family.
Although she’s adopted, Alejandra isn’t a stranger to Vicente Fernández and his wife. She’s the biological daughter of Gloria Abarca Villasenor, Vicente’s sister-in-law.
There’s no proven evidence about the reasons behind the decision to adopt Alejandra. However, reports vary. Some say that it was because they wanted a daughter with their three boys.
On the other hand, some reports allegedly claim that Alejandra is Vicente’s biological daughter from an affair with his sister-in-law, and adopting her was an attempt to cover that affair. Yet, the truth remains a secret.
