They died hideous
At least maybe Caesarion, died hideous. The other three children were taken to Rome and raised by Octavia, the sister of Octavian and Antony's former wife.

How did Caesar meet Cleopatra?
Cleopatra had been deposed by her brother soon after she ascended the throne. Caeser was at war with roman general Pompey who fled to Egypt after defeat by Caeser. When he arrived he was murdered by cleopatras brother. Caeser followed Pompey to Alexandria not knowing he had been killed. Cleopatra was camped with an army on the borders of Egypt prevented from entering by her brothers army. When she heard Caeser was in Alexandria she had herself smuggled through enemy lines in a bag used to transport carpets. She was delivered to Caeser as a carpet gift direct to her palace where Caeser was installed. There she was unveiled to him. They began a relationship and he confirmed her as queen. He fought the Alexandrian war against cleopatras brother and won. Cleopatra gave birth to a son caesarion, who cleopatra claimed was fathered by Caesar although Caesar never acknowledged him.
Caesar wanted to bring Cleopatra and her brother together to put a stop to the civil war in Egypt, as Rome was Egypt's protector. He also wanted to make arrangements for the repayment of the massive debt that Egypt owed him.
Did mark Anthony marry Cleopatra?
Sort of. He was talked into "marrying" Cleopatra, but some scholars think this was symbolic of their political alliance, since Antony already had a Roman wife, who was Octavian's sister. Antony also knew Roman law and knew his Egyptian "marriage" would not be recognized in Rome because Cleopatra was a foreigner. It wasn't until six years after his "marriage" to Cleopatra, that he divorced his Roman wife, and that was when the break with Octavian was almost certain.
Cleopatra feared humiliation and obscurity. That's why she killed herself.

What is Cleopatra's physical description?
The latest facial reconstruction of Cleopatra that I am aware of is by Dr. Martin Weaver, whose work appears in Diana Preston's bio of Cleopatra. It is disappointing if you are expecting to find an ancient beauty. Using the various coin images of Cleopatra at the different times of her reign and of known images of the inbred Ptolemies, he constructed a surprising image of the queen. All the coins and statues of her confirm that she had high cheekbones, small eyes, a large nose and pronounced chin and an underhang beneath the jaw. Being a Ptolemy, as evidenced from statues of other members of her dynasty, she would tend to be chubby and as stated in the book "quite plump". The image of her at the temple at Dendera and the stylized statues of her, support this.
