Marra Shubyann Lindstrom Steininger Has Faced Many Difficulties - Facts about Jeffree Star's Mother

Marra Shubyann Lindstrom Steininger, and her son Jeffree Star, had not been in each other's lives for over ten years. When the famous beauty influencer rekindled his relationship with his mother, Marra Shubyann Lindstrom Steininger's son learned she had been homeless for years.

Following her husband's passing, Marra raised her son in a single-parent household. The famous YouTuber revealed that his mother's makeup collection inspired his successful career in the cosmetic industry. However, years later, Marra and her son disappeared from each other's lives.

The social media influencer shared that Marra had faced alcoholism and homelessness. But after her son reached out after ten years of no contact, the mother and son reunited, and Marra's son "saved" her.

Marra Was a Single Mother

In June 2020, Marra's son took to Twitter and shared that his father, Jeffrey Lynn Steininger Sr., had passed away when he was younger, which resulted in Marra raising him in a single-parent household. Marra's son shared:

"Happy Father's Day! Today is always very hard for me, as I lost my dad when I was 5 years old. He didn't want to live anymore, and my mom was left to raise me all by herself."

Before Marra's husband's passing in 1991, they welcomed their son on November 15, 1985. Marra and her son first lived in Costa Mesa before relocating to Orange County.

A model, Marra would leave her makeup lying around, which led to her son experimenting with different fun looks. Soon, Jeffree began wearing bold makeup looks and dying his hair bright colors. He said, "My mom had a tone of makeup lying around. I'd look through it and try stuff on."

Although he avoids labels for his sexual orientation, Marra's son admitted that he was gay and that it was never something Marra and her son spoke about when he was younger. However, Jeffree revealed that his mother, friends, and family accepted him for who he is. Marra's son said:

"I got lucky because I have a parent that actually supported me. I get e-mails daily from kids that say things like 'my dad hates me because I'm gay' or 'people in my town don't accept me because I look different.’ That's a terrible, (messed)-up thing. I am so thankful that I've never had to go through that."

Among his multiple tattoos across his body, Marra's son inked a portrait of her and his grandparent alongside tattoos of Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, Matthew Shepard, and Anthony Hopkins.

Marra and Jeffree Star's Rocky Relationship

Over the years, Marra's relationship with her son deteriorated. At first, they texted once a year; before he knew it, two years turned into five, which turned into ten.

After Marra and her son lost touch, the social media personality revealed, "There was so much pain and anger and frustration there. I couldn't believe how quickly time— I still can't believe it had been ten years."

After reuniting, Marra's son shared during an interview in 2022 that she had been homeless and battled alcoholism. However, he had "saved" her, and Marra and her son lived next door in Wyoming.

Jeffree has since taken to Twitter to share about his relationship with Marra, and in a tweet, he wrote, "Waking up today and seeing my mom smile for the first time in a week made my whole entire day better."

In a second tweet, Marra's son typed, "Tomorrow's new video going up, made my mom cry while watching it." And in a third tweet, Jeffree shared, "Spending time with family is priceless."

The Woman Jeffree Star Called His Mom

Before publicly speaking about his relationship with Marra, Jeffree referred to his late uncle's wife as his mother. Laurie Atchison was the wife of Jeffree's uncle, who passed away in 2010.

And in 2013, Marra's son celebrated Laurie's engagement on Facebook, one of the many times he referred to her as his mother. Following their engagement in 2013, Laurie and her husband tied the knot in 2020. Aside from events in her life, Laurie does not share pictures or information about Jeffree on her Twitter and Facebook accounts.
