In October 2010, the couple had their first child, a girl named Ruby Claire. Jeff and Beth got married in March 2011. Their second daughter, Nera Quinn, was born in December 2015.
Hardy has many tattoos, including roots that start on his head and finish at his hand. Other signature designs include a dragon and the Chinese symbols for "Peace" and "Health" and tattoos of fire and a wave. In 2020, he revealed a new tattoo on his back. He regards his tattoos as "artistic impulses."
