The first four marriages ended in divorce, while the last ended when his wife Ingrid died of [[stomach cancer]] in 1995, aged 65. Aside from his marriages, Bergman had romantic relationships with actresses Harriet Andersson (1952–1955), Bibi Andersson (1955–1959), and Liv Ullmann (1965–1970). He was the father of writer [[Linn Ullmann]] with Ullmann. In all, Bergman had nine children, one of whom predeceased him. Bergman eventually married all the mothers of his children, with the exception of Liv Ullmann. His daughter with his last wife, Ingrid von Rosen, was born twelve years before their marriage. He had dozens of mistresses throughout his life and would justify the affairs to his various wives by telling them: "I have so many lives."<ref>{{cite web|title=Ingmar Bergman:The messy life of a magic filmmaker|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/ingmar-bergman-documentary-films-a-year-in-the-life-seventh-seal-wild-strawberries-sweden-a8746426.html|website=INDEPENDENT|date=25 January 2019}}</ref>

Although Bergman once described himself as one who had lost his faith in an afterlife, in 2000 he stated that a conversation he had with Erland Josephson helped him to believe that he would see Ingrid again. He said, "I'm not actually afraid of dying. On the contrary, really. I think it'll be interesting."<ref>{{Cite AV media |title=Ingmar Bergman: Reflections on Life, Death, and Love with Erland Josephson |date=2000 |last=Bergman |first=Ingmar |type=DVD |language=sv |publisher=The Criterion Collection |minutes=45}}</ref> In 2012, Max von Sydow stated to [[Charlie Rose]] that he had had many discussions with Bergman about religion which seemed to indicate that Bergman believed in an afterlife, and von Sydow said that Bergman contacted him after his death to prove there was indeed a life after death, though he did not to elaborate further.<ref>[[Max von Sydow]] on ''[[Charlie Rose (talk show)|Charlie Rose]]'', 2012.</ref> 

In an early draft of his autobiography, Bergman said he tried his then-girlfriend [[Karin Lannby]]. The portion was edited out for the final version.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-02-19 |title=Exploring the lesser-known Nazi past of Ingmar Bergman |url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-nazi-past-of-ingmar-bergman/ |access-date=2023-04-16 |website=faroutmagazine.co.uk |language=en-US}}</ref> {{Dubious|date=October 2024}}

Bergman suffered from [[insomnia]] and severe stomach problems dating back to childhood.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Magic Lantern: An Autobiography |url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-670-81911-9 |website=Publishers Weekly |access-date=2 October 2022}}</ref> He called his nervous stomach "a calamity as foolish as it is humiliating" and joked that the private lavatories he secured at the theatres in which he worked represented his "most lasting contribution to the history of theatre."<ref>Ingmar Bergman, ''The Magic Lantern'' (transl. from Swedish: ''Laterna Magica''), Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2007; p. 62 {{ISBN|978-0-226-04382-1}}.</ref>
