Lexa was born in Jacarepaguá, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro

Lexa was born in Jacarepaguá, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, but spent most of her life living in cities such as São Paulo, Brasília and Belém. She returned to Rio de Janeiro in her late teens. Lexa's mother is Darlin Ferrattry, a music producer who gave her the nickname Lexa when she was just three years old. The nickname was a tribute to the presenter Xuxa, of whom Lexa is a fan. Darlin added the letter "X" in the middle of her daughter's name so that the nickname would sound more similar to Xuxa's.
