Siouxsie married, the guy with the white hair on the back cover. He was the band's drummer, Budgie. They never had kids.
According to Wiki: "Siouxsie married drummer Budgie (real name: Peter Edward Clarke) in May 1991. The following year, they moved to the southwest of France.
In an interview with The Sunday Times in August 2007, she announced that she and Budgie had divorced. In an interview with The Independent, she said, "I've never particularly said I'm hetero or I'm a lesbian. I know there are people who are definitely one way, but not really me. I suppose if I am attracted to men then they usually have more feminine qualities."

r180, exactly. it was quite a shock for me to find out that all the guys were straight and having girlfriends. The band split in 1995 basically because Siouxsie couldn't stand Steven Severin's girlfriend and she felt the whole band dynamic felt off (appjarently her husband struggled with alcoholism but they kept on going on as The Creatures until they got divorced and she released as solo album called Mantaray).
