How Many Siblings Does Shawn Wayans Have? All the Wayans Brothers and Sisters

Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans famously starred in their own show, "The Wayans Bros," for five seasons. However, there are other talented Wayans brothers in the entertainment industry. Meet them!

Shawn Wayans was one of the most iconic comedians of the '90s, alongside his brother, Marlon Wayans. Their family was one of the entertainment industry's most well-known celebrity dynasties.

The Wayans heavily influenced mainstream media and brought pride to the black community. In 1995, the sitcom "The Wayans Bros." premiered for five seasons and showed the world how much talent the Wayans brothers had.

The show starred real-life brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans, the duo who ran a New York City newsstand on-screen. After the show ended, Shawn continued his comedy career, starring in "White Chicks," "Don't Be a Menace to South Sentran While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood," and "Little Man."

Meanwhile, Marlon had his own series, "Marlon," and starred on the big screen in the films "White Chicks," "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," "Requiem for a Dream," and "The Heat."

However, Shawn and Marlon are not the only Wayans siblings active in the entertainment industry. Here's a look at the rest of their family.

HOW MANY WAYANS SIBLINGS ARE THERE?

There are ten Wayans siblings, all talented in their craft. Marlon, the youngest brother, is grateful to be surrounded by his skilled family. He once said in an interview:

"Think how lucky I am to grow up in my house with my legends. I grew up in a house with legends, so I can't help but follow in their footsteps and yet blaze my own."

Next to Marlon is his brother Shawn, who ventured into writing and producing. One of his famous works is "White Chicks" and the rumored production of "White Chicks 2."

Their next older brother, Damon, is also a comedian and an actor known for his stint on "Saturday Night Live." He has since worked in front of and behind the cameras in "Beverly Hills Cop" and "My Wife and Kids."

The second eldest Wayans brother is Keenen Ivory, one of the first among the siblings to reach stardom. Keenen is the brain behind some of the Wayans brothers' pioneering projects, including "In Living Color" and "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka."

The eldest brother, Dwayne, mostly worked behind the scenes and away from the spotlight. Dwayne started his career as a production assistant and later became a writer and film score producer. He also has experience in the music industry, writing songs for some of his siblings' television shows.

Apart from the famous Wayans brothers, their sisters are also stars in their own rights, Kim, Elvira, Vonnie, Nadia, and Diedre.
