The relationship between Alynna Velasquez and Hajji Alejandro was a 27-year-long love story that began in 1998. They were a well-known couple in the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) scene, with Alynna being a singer and Hajji’s longtime partner.

In February 2025, Hajji Alejandro was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer and underwent surgery. He later experienced complications, including seizures and infections, requiring intensive hospital care. During this time, a video of Hajji in the hospital was leaked on social media, leading to criticism from his family, who suspected Alynna of sharing the footage. However, Alynna denied intentionally releasing it, stating she only sent it to a friend of Hajji’s to ask for prayers.

Due to tensions with Hajji’s family, Alynna decided to leave their shared home after 27 years together. She said, “I realized I’m not the wife—just the girlfriend. When illness strikes, family must come first.” Nevertheless, she expressed her willingness to support Hajji and his family whenever needed.

Hajji Alejandro passed away on April 21, 2025, after his battle with cancer. Alynna wrote a heartfelt tribute, expressing deep gratitude and sorrow for the loss of her life partner.

Their relationship stood as a testament to enduring love and sacrifice. Despite facing many challenges, they remained together, sharing nearly three decades of life’s joys and struggles.

Hajji Alejandro’s girlfriend Alynna Velasquez took to social media to explain her earlier post about not being able to attend her boyfriend’s wake.

“I didn’t point a finger at anyone. I was ok with it. Rather, I blamed myself and just accepted my fate, Alynna began her caption that accompanied a post of herself at Hajji’s star on the Walk of Fame.

“Dear friends and followers, please don’t attack or blame the family. There are some members who respect me and those who hate my existence. It’s just my destiny and predetermined path. And I am also defective at times. For these, I apologize,” she continued.

“My biggest regret is I let some people interfere with our lives. So many wasted time. Life is just so short,” Alynna added.

Her explanation came as the comment section of her earlier post became “a debate box” that contained “harsh pronouncements blown out of proportion,” she said.

Alynna’s post follows her brief social media exchange with Hajji’s daughter Rachel Alejandro, who thanked her for loving her father.

Hajji’s death was announced on April 22. He was 70 years old. Shortly after, Alynna posted a heartfelt tribute for her boyfriend of 27 years, confirming his stage 2 colon cancer and recounting their last 8 days together.

That evening, she again took to social media, posting a video of her visit to Hajji’s star at the Eastwood Walk of Fame, saying she was “unable to go to you wake for reasons I don’t have control of.”
