Personal Life
D'Arcy was previously engaged to marry television presenter Geri Maye only for the wedding to be halted at the last minute. He is currently in a relationship with Jenny Kelly, one of the producers and co-presenters of his radio show. The pair were stalked by the press when D'Arcy publicly exposed their partnership on Saturday Night With Miriam in 2005. Afterwards, D'Arcy was dismissive of the public interest in the relationship:
"I guess once we have actually told people we are together that will be the end of it. Our listeners probably care that we are a couple, but beyond that I don't know why anyone would be interested."
D'Arcy and Kelly have a baby daughter, Kate (born 25 November 2006), together. Jenny went into labour with his baby while watching Pat Kenny come under attack on The Late Late Show. In January 2012, it was announced that D'Arcy and Kelly had become engaged and that Kelly was pregnant with a second child.
In June 2012, D'Arcy and Kelly had their second child, a boy, a first son for Ray, named Tom Michael D'Arcy. Earlier that year, he tripped and broke his nose and had to have surgery.
D'Arcy is now an atheist and does not believe in an afterlife, but attended Mass until he was in his twenties when he became disillusioned by the whole process.

“He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“If any personal description of me is thought desirable, it may be said, I am, in height, six feet, four inches, nearly; lean in flesh, weighing, on an average, one hundred and eighty pounds; dark complexion, with course black hair, and grey eyes—no other marks or brands recollected.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“A tree is beautiful, but what’s more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples’ character, and so on and so forth. There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe.... What a terrible future!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
