Who are Jessie Reyez parents?

German Reyez (father)

In the Father’s Day interview, Jessica said, that she had always been very close with her father German Reyez. It was he, who introduced the girl to the world of art. He taught little Jessica to play the guitar and inspired her to start a career in the music industry. German was a guitar player himself. There was a short period in their life when Jessie treated her father like a devil (as she said). It was in her teens.

German always supported his daughter in her shocking experiments. He let her dress like a boy, ride a snowboard, etc. Jessie is so grateful to him for that.

Mr. Reyez was born in Cali, Colombia. He lost his mother when he was still a baby. He lost his father when he was a teenager. German has two older sisters. After his father’s death, Reyez moved to Canada. There he got married and welcomed his first kid – a son. Then, German’s wife passed away.

So, Jessie’s father always knew that death could come any minute. He valued his Colombian roots, that’s why he spoke Spanish with Jessie and other family members at home.

On one of German’s birthdays, he visited the concert of his favorite rapper Drake. Jessie was opening Drake’s show. After the concert German and his daughter were invited to Drake’s after-party, and the rapper performed “Happy Birthday” for Mr. Reyez.

German liked to visit his friend’s farm in his childhood, so he liked to be surrounded by the trees and animals. Jessie dreams of buying a farm for her dad one day.

Carmen Reyez (mother)

Jessica is very close with her mother, too. The girl confesses that she was a troubled child in her teens; she could drink too much or could run out of the house. But Mrs. Reyez kept an eye on her and prevented her from making some hard mistakes.

Carmen comes from Colombia, where she earned a degree as a preschool teacher. After moving to Canada, she had to confirm her degrees. Then, she started a daycare at a crib. They had a two-floor house, and her mother’s daycare was on the first floor. Every single day they had at least five kids at home – her mother’s pupils. Some of them became as close as siblings to Jessie.

Mr. Reyez (older half-brother)

Jessie has a brother, who resides in Vaughan, Canada with his wife and four kids. The man is the son of Jessica’s father and his first wife, who passed away. German was raising a son on his own when he met Jessie’s mother and married her.

Currently, Mr. Reyez is a family man. With his wife (and Jessica’s sister-in-law) they have four kids – two sons and two daughters. He got his oldest son at a very young age. So Jessie’s oldest nephew is close to her age. Mr. Reyez is a teacher and a scientist. Jessica and he are very close. In her early interviews, Jessie used to tell, that her brother introduced her to reggae when she was four. That was the moment when she understood, that music was her cup of tea.

Jessie has just one blood-related sibling – her older half-brother. But she also considers some of her mother’s pupils as her siblings.
