The Wayans family has become an open book for the public. 

They are vocal about their childhood in poverty and share stories in a light-hearted manner. 

Damon shared a funny poverty incident in a popular talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show.

He once stole 15 cents from his dad's pocket and was caught.

The incident represents the financial struggle in a big family of twelve.

But the abundance of different characters in the family kept the home lively and entertaining, which must have been the root for the Wayans family tree to flourish into successful artists.

Coming from a large family, Wayans, too, has built his big family.

He was married to the former model and actress Lisa Thorner. 

Wayans and Thorner started dating in the 1980s and were considered one of the hottest couples.

Thorner was a strong motivator in Wayans's in his struggle days.

After two years of serious dating, they officially tied the knot in 1984.
