Barbra Streisand may be one of the most renowned performers of our (and possibly any) time, but her legacy has extended on to her famous family members as well.

The 82-year-old icon has been married twice in her lifetime, and through her two marriages, has become a mom four times over, once to a son of her own, and three more times to stepchildren with her current husband.

Take a walk through the Streisand family tree below and meet her four children, from her son with her first husband to her three step-kids with her current husband

Since then, however, Jess has been pictured living in temporary housing over the years after having fallen upon hard times. After photos of him rummaging through trash went viral in 2011, a representative for Barbra released a statement saying: "We have offered help and support, and continue to do so. We love him very much and want only the best for him."
