Birth
Alexei Alexandrovich was born to Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia, the son of Czar Alexander II of Russia, and Alexandra Vasilievna, Countess Zhukovskaya. His mother, Alexandra, was born a commoner, thusly the Grand Duke's marriage to Alexandra Vasilievna was morganatic.
Controversy
When Count Alexei's parent's married, the marriage was morganatic, because Alexandra was born a "commoner," and not of a royal or noble family. When Count Alexei was born, he was given the title of Count Belevsky-Zhukovsky. Some people believe that he should have been given the title of Grand Duke, but since his parent's did marry morganatically, Russian law forbade Alexei from carrying on his fathers' title of Grand Duke.
Marriage
Count Alexei married, on 29 August 1894 in Ilyinskoye, Princess Maria Petrovna Troubetskoy (18 June 1872 Russia - 20 March 1954 Paris), the daughter of Prince Serge Troubetskoy.

Count Alexei and Princess Maria had four children:
- Countess Elizabeta Alexandrovna Belevskya-Zhukovskya (8 September 1896 Russia- 30 July 1975 New Jersey)
- Countess Alexandra Alexandrovna Belevskya-Zhukovskya (b. 4 March 1899)
- Countess Mariya Alexandrovna Belevskya-Zhukovskya (b. 26 October 1901)
- Count Sergei Alexandrovich Belevskya-Zhukovskya (17 February 1903 Moscow - 27 November 1956 Los Angeles)
