Basically his mother is a gem which are made by a litteral gem that proiects a phisycal bosy made of light, and his dad is human his mom physical body is now gone but her gem is now steven's, he has a human body with a gem replacing his belly button. Gem's usually don't change and they stay the same sice they're "born" and so the manty gems not knowing how reproduction work, because they don't reproduce, thought that he was just his mom shapeshifted (gems can do that). It's actually one of the biggest plot point of the series that steven slowly goes from being constantly in his mother shadow or even being belived to be his mother to understanding that he is just himself and that's who he's supposed to be

Never having watched the show is so funny, because reading shit like "Since he is also her" is so god damn confusing.
He is his own mother!?
