Becky G's Mom Alejandra Gomez Inspired Her in Many Ways

Pop star Becky G's mom Alejandra Gomez has been a central figure in her daughter's rise to fame. The singer credits her mother with making her the woman she is today.

Alejandra met Becky's father while they were still high school students. The pair were together for a long time and had four children before they separated. Currently, Alejandra is in a relationship with a man she says was her first crush and boyfriend.

She and her celebrity daughter have maintained a very close relationship, and Becky is never shy to show her strong admiration for her beautiful mother. Alejandra has inspired her in many aspects, including fashion, music, and managing interactions with people.

Alejandra Gomez Met Her Love at School

It is unknown when Alejandra was born, but she is in her mid-40s. An Instagram post from her daughter in May 2020 revealed that she was 42, meaning she was born in the 1970s. Her birth place is also shrouded in mystery, but her daughter confirmed that she was born in the United States.

Alejandra's parents Angel and Guadalupe Esquivias, have been together for over half a century. The elderly couple celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary in 2016, an impressive achievement.

Becky G's mom met her future husband, Frank Gomez, in high school, and it seems that was when they began dating. Their long-term relationship resulted in the birth of four children; Frankie, Alex, Ste, and Becky, the oldest. Nevertheless, the couple has since parted ways.

Alejandra moved on and occasionally shares snaps of her new man. She appears to be head over heels for her lover, whose Instagram name is Mr. Ed Bonds. She showered him with praise in a 2023 Valentine's Day dedication in which she also revealed that the two had known each other since 7th grade and he was her first boyfriend.

Alejandra Gomez and Her Family Had a Difficult Time in 2008

During the 2008 financial crisis, the Gomez family felt its pinch more than many. The family lost much of their livelihood and had to move into Becky G's grandparents' garage in Inglewood and make it their new home. However, in the end, the situation became a blessing in disguise.

The Gomez family was able to turn lemons into lemonade. Their struggles resulted in Becky leaving school to find work so she could help support the family. That path soon led her into the entertainment industry, where she managed to gain much success and ultimately salvage the family's financial situation.

Alejandra is loved and appreciated by her star daughter, who credits her for making her the woman she is today. On Mother's Day in 2016, Becky professed her love for Alejandra and thanked her for being by her side throughout her life, guiding her along the way.

Alejandra's son, Alex, was diagnosed with autism before age two. The doctors even concluded that he would never speak, walk or live independently. They advised the family to speak one language at home to help him learn how to communicate, and Alejandra chose to use English.

Alejandra Is a Fashion Icon for Becky G

During a day spent under the spotlight with Vogue, Becky G revealed that Alejandra is her fashion Icon. The singer says her mother had a great sense of fashion during high school. She said:

"A style icon for me is definitely my mom. My mom in high school is a whole mood. From her natural curly hair that she would rock to her oversized jeans."

Becky's first and most vivid memory of her childhood is when she went through Alejandra's makeup bag and made "a beautiful mess" of herself. Her mother did not get mad about it. Instead, she let her daughter express herself, and that experience later helped her when she began her music career.

Alejandra's fashion sense is not the only thing her daughter picked up. During a sit down with Interview Magazine, Becky said that her mom used to play a lot of reggaeton from artists like Daddy Yankee and Jenni Rivera when she was young, which influenced her musical diversity.
