From her father she likely had an older (assumed due to the age difference between their husbands) full sister and two older half sisters (one who married Quintus Haterius and another named Vipsania Agrippina who married the future emperor Tiberius)[4] as well as five younger half-siblings named Gaius Caesar, Lucius Caesar, Agrippina the Elder, Vipsania Julia and Agrippa Postumus from her father's third and last marriage to Julia the Elder.
[5] Vipsania likely married Marcus Aemilius Lepidus the consul of 6 AD as his first wife, when they were both relatively young.
[6] She was the niece of his father's recently wed second wife, Claudia Marcella Minor, so the marriage was likely made to improve their political standing.
[8] Ronald Syme has speculated that this man may have been the husband of an Appuleia recorded in an anecdote by Pliny to have been married to a Marcus Lepidus.
The anecdote describes Appuleia to have divorced her husband because of his alcoholism, which caused him to drink himself to death.
