He married the journalist and Vanity Fair correspondent Marie Brenner in 1979, who gave birth to their daughter Casey in September, 1982. The couple separated in 1983 and divorced in the following year. Schwartz later married Elinor Renfield, who gave birth to their son Adam in January, 1987.
In March 2010, Schwartz married actress Zohra Lampert in New York City. At the wedding, his long-time friend Tony Bennett sang "I See Your Face Before Me", a 1937 composition by Schwartz's father and Howard Dietz.
Schwartz is a lifelong fan of the Boston Red Sox, despite being a New Yorker, a fact that he mentions frequently on his shows. His radio program occasionally features recordings from radio broadcasts of classic baseball games.

“The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in—telephonic, technological and relational—to alter even the slightest bit of behaviour in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
