Ochsenknecht was married to model Natascha Ochsenknecht until 2012 and has three children with her, sons Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht (b. 1990) and Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht (b. 1991), who are both actors, and daughter Cheyenne Savannah Ochsenknecht (b. 2000). His oldest son, Rocco Stark, is from a relationship with an earlier girlfriend. Wilson and Jimi Ochsenknecht acted together with him in the films Enlightenment Guaranteed and The Wild Soccer Bunch and its four sequels.

In July 2017, Ochsenknecht married Kiki Viebrock.
