Shivu :

Everyone is saying that these three cubs arn't realated obviously Kovu isn't realated to Scar or to Zira (maybe, it varies) but then other people say none of them are realated to either Scar, Zira or eachother because they don't look alike. One person said Kovu was DEFINTLY related to Scar but that would make him Kiara's cousin which would make their love not...so...love...erm...I don't know how to explain that...I'll just hope you get it. Anyway but it does explain clearly that Nuka and Vitani are related by Scar and Zira as Nuka referes to Zira as 'mother' and when he dies Zira says, "Scar watch over my dear Nuka" which you wouldn't do to someone who wasn't realated to him. Then again if you ephasise, "Scar watch over MY dear Nuka.." hmm... You know what? I'm confused with my own words... Well comment on what you think, Are Vitani, Nuka and Kovu all realated to Scar and Zira or what?

This is one of those "possible for your own interpretation" stuff, there are many theories about that family. Mainly people agree they are all Ziras cubs and problem is with Scar. Some even say Kovu is not related to Zira too. Some say only Kovu is not Scars son, as stated in movie, while other two are. While others say that Vitani or both Vitani and Nuka are not related to Scar.

Official version, I suppose is this: Vitani and Nuka are cubs of Zira and Scar. While Kovu is only Ziras cub, with unknown lion.
But I personally disagree with that, because I separate between adopted parents and biological ones.

My personal belief goes that they are all Ziras cubs, but none is Scars... Kovu stated that himself. Vitani is about same age as Kovu, so my bet is on them being twins, meaning same father. And Nuka, he never refers to Scar as father nor does Zira or any other character give direct hint on that and appearance. Well if I look like someone else, still does not mean we are related, since many state appearance as reason.
For Nukas father, here is interesting article:

Here is also article on possibilities for Kovus father:
/ [...] s_father/81859.html&id_film=14

That above is my humble opinion, so do not take it as ultimate, neither it is comment on someones version. Feel free to create your own version. TLK universe is very opened to interpretations, so use your imagination with facts from movie. Or you can adopt others theory if you feel it is best one.

I think that Vitani's parents are Scar and Nala,Kovu's parents are Zira and Chumvi and Nuka's parents are Zira and Scar. So yes they are all half siblings so yes they ARE all RELATED.

so i believe that Nuka and Vitani are Zira and Scar's children because Nuka is dark like Scar and Vitani is lighter like Zira. and Kovu is Zira's son with someone else but he was "hand chosed by Scar to follow in his pawprints to become the king" as Zira said. so that would make them step siblings. there is no law that says children have to look exactly like their parents.
