They were married in a 1920s Parisian carnival-themed wedding in Malibu on May 26, 2013, with musicians Foster the People and John Mayer performing. Paul emailed the song "Beauty" by The Shivers to everyone on the guest list and asked them to learn the lyrics so they could sing along during the ceremony. They lived in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, having sold their previous home in West Hollywood, and own a second cabin-style home near McCall, Idaho.
They have a daughter born February 2018 and a son born April 2022. Paul's Breaking Bad co-star Bryan Cranston is Ryden's godfather. In the aftermath of the Los Angeles wildfires in early 2025, the couple sold their undamaged residence and relocated with their children to Paris.
