He was given the nickname Pico before his birth and when he was born, the name surprisingly took over his birth name. He once said in an interview that no one called him his birth name except his 6th-grade teacher. It was also gathered that his parents, Magdalena Deskur and Lukasz Jogalla, are Polish immigrants to the United States of America.

During his formative years, Pico was very close to his grandfather Jerzy Jogałła who was an actor in Poland and eventually decided to follow in his stead. It is also known that his dad was a cinematographer while His mom was a singer who attended a music school in Poland. So from a young age, Alexander started taking classes to learn how to play classical piano and trumpet.

The two took pictures that the actor later mailed to young Pico, this meant a lot to the aspiring actor back then. Before meeting Hugh Jackman, the actor met Slyvester Stallone back in 1997 during the making of Cop Land.

The young actor commenced his acting career as a 2nd grader when he landed a part on a stage play which was about a son returning from war. For his appearance in the play, he received his first paycheck which was $200. Hence, upon completion of his basic education at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, he went on to horn his skills at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

Unlike most celebrities who have gone ahead to publicize their relationships on most social media platforms, Pico Alexander has kept this aspect of his life very private. More so, he is not active on any social media platform, and according to him, he prefers to keep things that way.

After his sizzling romance on-screen with his Home Again co-star Reese Witherspoon, it was rumored that the pair began a romantic relationship off-screen. Many actually looked forward to the pair towing in the path of other celebrity couples who met and fell in love on set.

But then, there seems to be no substance to the claim that they are lovers as both Pico and Reese are yet to confirm or deny it. Nonetheless, the young actor is believed to be in a relationship with a Mexican photographer named Renata Balleza.

For someone that loves to keep the attention he gets on his career, it is not a surprise that much is not known about the actor’s dalliance with Renata. They have kept their romance very private as his girlfriend also loves to keep a low profile.
