Personal life
Jackson resides in Ladera Ranch and has five children. Three of his children have the middle name of Rampage. Jackson and his wife, with whom he has two children, separated in 2006 after a paternity test proved that he had fathered a child with another woman in 1999. They initially reconciled but have since divorced. On October 2, 2023 Jackson welcomed a fifth child and second daughter. In 2010, Jackson lived in in England and supports Everton F.C.. He is an avid , and streams in his free time on the streaming site Kick.

Controversies
In 2009, Jackson repeatedly cage reporter Heather Nichols on camera during an interview. Nichols later described the experience as "awkward", not knowing what to do to stop him. Also in 2009, in an interview with an unidentified Japanese reporter, Jackson gets on all fours and proceeds to bark, sniff, grab, and hump the reporter from behind, with the terrified woman eventually squirming away.

In 2011, Jackson stuck his face in reporter 's cleavage while simulating a sexual act, after making sexually explicit comments to her. Some condemnations followed, including an assessment of the incident as bordering on assault. In that same interview, Jackson went on to make light of his past indecent sexual advances by stating: "You know I've been humping reporters so you might want to get away... I've been in a long training camp. Get away. Get away before I hump you in front of everybody."

In 2012, Jackson starred in a satirical video entitled "How to Pick Up a Gurl – Fast", where he suggests the use of chloroform and zip ties, as well as sneaking up on women in parking lots while already wearing a condom. As a result, and for repeatedly denigrating women, several women's organizations called for the UFC to pull Jackson from his then upcoming bout against . Sharmili Majmudar, the executive director of Rape Victims Advocates, stated that "when you hear or you see people in prominent roles essentially echoing those messages that sexual violence is a joke or it's no big deal or it's funny, it just compounds that experience for victims."

In 2013, Jackson directed more highly inappropriate comments toward female reporter Karyn Bryant during an interview just days after a petition was published seeking Rampage's removal from the UFC.

Jackson has repeatedly persuaded his Asian fans to make homophobic remarks about themselves on camera.

Legal issues
On July 15, 2008, 10 days after losing his belt to , Jackson was arrested in Costa Mesa and booked on suspicion of , and felony hit and run after striking several vehicles. He led pursuing officers on a chase while driving on the wrong side of the street and on city sidewalks in his lifted Ford F-350 with his picture painted on the side. During the chase, one of the tires blew out on his truck and he continued to flee while driving on his rims. On July 18, 2008, UFC President gave an interview to Yahoo! Sports in which he said that Jackson had initially been detained for a 72-hour stay, but that had been extended. White was quoted as saying: "I think it's going to be a while before we get him back." White also claimed that before the detainment, Jackson did not sleep for four days, had not been eating, and had only been drinking and became from . According to White, no drugs were found in Jackson's system.

Jackson was charged with one count of evading police while driving recklessly, one felony count of evading police and driving against traffic, three counts of hit and run with property damage, and one misdemeanor count of reckless driving when he nearly hit several pedestrians. Jackson faced up to 3 years in prison if convicted. On August 28, 2008, he pleaded not guilty to all of the charges; however, on January 8, 2009, he pleaded guilty to one felony count of evading a police officer and driving against traffic, and one misdemeanor count of driving recklessly as part of a plea agreement. A judge dismissed the charges against Jackson on January 8, 2010, citing that he had successfully completed 200 hours of community service and complied with other terms and conditions.

One of the victims in the above , filed a civil suit against Jackson and claimed that the impact of her with the steering wheel caused her to rupture, ultimately resulting in the of her baby. She requested $25,000 in damages for , , and emotional distress. Farrah Emami, Spokesperson for the DA's office, said: "We reviewed all the medical records and spoke with the victim's physician, and the evidence showed that the loss of the fetus was not related to or a result of the crash caused by the defendant."

In May 2010 the woman dismissed her lawsuit against Jackson. It is unclear if the two sides reached a settlement.

In 2014, Jackson claimed that the reason of his reckless driving was trying to reach a friend's house in order to stop him from committing .
