Lewis has been married to Jacqueline since 1984, and together they have three children - two sons - Mitchell, Lincoln and a daughter, Jamie-Lee.
Jackie began watching rugby league at the age of 5 when her grandparents would take her to see her uncle play for the Cannon Hill Stars, which was the first club the young Wally Lewis played for, though the couple didn't meet until years later when both were adults.

Wally's son, Lincoln, was a full-time actor on the Seven Network television drama, Home and Away, winning a TV Week Logie Award for best male new talent.
His other son, Mitchell is a presenter on the Nova FM radio station, Nova 106.9 in Brisbane as the station's sports reporter and assistant producer on the Ash, Kip, Luttsy & Susie breakfast show.
His daughter Jamie-Lee was born profoundly deaf.
The family got confirmation of this on the day of the final State of Origin game of the 1991 series, prompting Wally's decision to retire from Origin football following the game.
Jamie-Lee is a water polo player who is currently on a scholarship to the Queensland Academy of Sport who has represented Australia, and is the first deaf person in the world to ever represent her country's national hearing team.

In May 2010, Lewis was rushed to hospital and had his gallbladder removed.

Wally Lewis completed his autobiography, Out of the Shadows: A Champion's Return to the Spotlight, in 2009.

Lewis is well known as a big fan of The Phantom comic series.

Following his retirement from the sport, Lewis became a television sports presenter, first on Seven Nightly News Brisbane, before moving to the higher-rating Nine News Queensland where he remains today.
