  In 1999, McCarthy married his college sweetheart Carol Schneider 20 years after they first dated. He later stated his reasons for tracking her down after they had drifted apart: "I ran into someone who said they had seen Carol and her boyfriend and they seemed really happy, and for some reason it bothered me for a week. I called her and asked her if she was really with this guy and asked her out for coffee." In 2002, Schneider gave birth to a son, Sam, who is also an actor. The couple divorced in 2005. 
  On August 28, 2011, he married Dolores Rice. They have a daughter, Willow. In September 2013, it was announced that the couple were expecting their second, and his third, child. McCarthy mentioned on "Good Day New York" on March 29, 2017, that his third child is a son Rowan and was then two years old.
