Van Dien was married to Carrie Mitchum (the granddaughter of Robert Mitchum) from 1993 to 1997. They had two children: Cappy (Casper Robert Mitchum Van Dien) and Gracie (Caroline Dorothy Grace Van Dien). The only time the couple worked together was near the end of their marriage, in James Dean: Race with Destiny, which also starred Robert Mitchum.

He dated Denise Richards for a short time, while they were making Starship Troopers.

During the filming of The Collectors, he met Catherine Oxenberg. They worked together again in the Christian thriller The Omega Code. The two married in May of 1999. Oxenberg has a daughter, India Riven Oxenberg (born June 7, 1991), whose father has never been publicly identified, from a previous relationship. Van Dien and Oxenberg have two daughters of their own: Maya Van Dien (born September 20, 2001) and Celeste Alma Van Dien (born October 3, 2003).

In 2006, Van Dien was a guest on Larry King Live, where he admitted that he was sexually abused by a female babysitter at the age of eight. The abuse was a secret he kept until he was 32.
