Fresh off her win on “The Voice,” Alexia Jayy is opening up about the people behind her success.
The 31-year-old singer from Mobile, Alabama, made history as the first Black woman to win the show in 15 years. While her voice captivated audiences, she says her family kept her grounded.
“My family is super supportive,” Jayy shared. “Whatever I have to do, they’re willing to help.”
The Love Story That Built a Family
Jayy’s journey hasn’t been one she’s taken alone. Early on the show she revealed she spent some time as a single mother before meeting her boyfriend, David Rembert.
“I was a single mother for a good amount of my mom years and then David came along… we blended our families.”
Jayy brought her son Matthew, while David brought his son Corey. They later welcomed a daughter together.
Who is Alexia Jayy’s Number One Supporter
For Jayy, one of the most meaningful parts of her journey has been her son watching it unfold. Matthew, 9, was by her side during her Blind Audition, which earned her the first “Triple Chair Turn” of the season.
During that moment, coach John Legend asked him about his favorite artist. His answer: Maroon 5, which may have led Alexia Jayy to Team Adam and a historical win.
“For my son to be able to watch me, that means a lot because we went through so much together.”
Jayy said her son has witnessed both her struggles and perseverance. “He’s seen me stop and start, but he’s never seen me give up,” she explained.
Now, she says he proudly shares her success with his teachers and friends. “He’s so proud of me,” she added.

Balancing music and family life came with challenges. There were long periods apart and limited communication.
