Before marrying Macgregor, Hall was married to actress Amy Spanger from 2002 to 2006. The couple met during the Broadway production of Chicago in 1999.

Hall's second marriage was to Jennifer Carpenter, his co-star from Dexter, in 2008. The couple eloped on New Year's Eve 2008 and made their first red carpet appearance together at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 2011. Despite their on-screen relationship as siblings, Hall and Carpenter had a strong bond, which Carpenter spoke about at a "Farewell to Dexter" live event.
Hall and Macgregor have no children together, although they have discussed the topic. In 2018, Hall expressed hesitation about having children, citing concerns about the world and its impact on a child. The couple does share a black dachshund named Salamander. Macgregor has been supportive of Hall's career, and the couple has purchased a $4.3 million apartment in Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Morgan Macgregor is a writer and book reviewer from Ontario, Canada. She has also lived in Los Angeles and has reviewed fiction for several publications. Macgregor has appeared in a 2011 Q&A with The Nervous Breakdown, an online literary magazine. She does not appear to be active on social media.

Hall's estimated net worth is $25 million, largely built on his Dexter salary. In 2025, he reprised his role as Dexter Morgan in Dexter: Resurrection on Paramount+ with Showtime.
