Yes. President Obama has a complicated family. He has eight half-siblings -- seven of them living -- by four other marriages or relationships of his parents. But he was really only close with one, his half-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng, born to his mother and her second husband Lolo Soetoro, in Indonesia. Maya ultimately moved to the United States, and by most accounts, she and Barack have a good relationship. The other seven half-siblings are from his father's various relationships: Malik (who was best man at Barack Obama's wedding in 1992), Auma, Abo, Bernard, George, Mark, and David.

His father, Barack Obama, Sr., had four children by a woman he married in Kenya before his 1960 marriage to President Obama's mother in Hawaii. Two of those children -- son Abongo (Roy) and daughter Auma -- were born before President Barack Obama, II was.

After Obama, Sr. divorced Barack Obama's mother in 1963, he married another American woman he took to Kenya and had two more sons -- Mark and David, who was killed in a motorcycle accident. That marriage ended in a divorce, after Obama, Sr. resumed his relationship with his first wife.

The elder Obama had two other sons -- Abo and Bernard -- by his first wife, though President Obama wrote in his memoirs that there is some question whether another man actually fathered Bernard. Obama, Sr. later had another son, George, by a woman with whom he was involved, but apparently did not marry.

The one sibling he is the closest to is his half-sister Maya. She lives in Hawaii, and is the daughter of President Obama's late mother and his step-dad, Lolo Soetoro. He used to be friendly with at least one of his half-brothers, Malik, who lived in Kenya and was a sibling from his father's side of the family; but there is some evidence that they have not spoken in a while.

Barack Obama has no biological siblings, but he does have half-siblings. On his mother's side of the family, he has a half-sister named Maya Soetoro-Ng. She lives in Hawaii and is an educator. He also has a number of half-siblings on his father's side of the family, most of whom still live in Kenya. One of them, Malik Obama, attended Barack and Michelle Obama's wedding in 1992, but most sources indicated the president is not very close with his paternal siblings. He seems much closer with his half-sister Maya.
