Le sien = son père.

Merci!🙏🙏

I assume that les siens is family then?

(Le sien = his own.)
-# Le sien/les siens, la sienne/les siennes.

Tu as toujours ta pizza ? J'ai déjà mangé la mienne.

If you just wanted to say 'That's mine', it would be 'Le mien/la mienne' etc.

• Le mien/la mienne, les miens/les miennes
• Le tien/la tienne, les tiens/les tiennes
• Le sien/la sienne, les siens/les siennes
• Le/la nôtre, les nôtres
• Le/la vôtre, les vôtres
• Le/la leur, les leurs

[faint knot]

Yep, in some contexts, les miens/tiens/siens = family, home, where one belongs. You get the idea.
