Toombs and his wife Kitty Jo Dittrich were married from 1982 until his death in 2015.
They had four children.
His daughter Teal Piper made her professional wrestling debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in August 2019 at AEW All Out.
Shortly after that announcement, it was revealed that she had signed a contract with Women of Wrestling (WOW).

On November 27, 2006, it was announced on WWE.com that Toombs had Hodgkin's lymphoma; he finished radiation therapy on January 15, 2007.
This was also confirmed on Toombs' official website, where he posted messages of thanks to all his fans and stated that, had the fans not chosen him as Ric Flair's partner at Cyber Sunday, he would not have been taken to the hospital and diagnosed as having his disease in time.

In November 2008, a video spread around the internet showing Toombs smoking marijuana and taking a hit from a bong in front of a cheering crowd at the annual Gathering of the Juggalos, although he later acknowledged his use of medicinal marijuana "to alleviate the symptoms associated with cancer".
This was reiterated on a blog from Jim Ross.

In his autobiography, Toombs claimed to be a cousin of Bret Hart, which would make him a relative of the Hart wrestling family.
This fact was once used as a trivia question on Raw.
Hart also revealed that Toombs was the only wrestler to visit him in the hospital after his stroke.
Bruce Hart has stated that they were second cousins.
