In September 2012, Kwan announced her engagement to [[Clay Pell]], an American lawyer, military officer and former director for strategic planning on the [[Department of National Security|National Security]] staff at the [[White House]].

Pell is the grandson of the late Rhode Island Senator [[Claiborne Pell]]. The couple, who met in April 2011,<ref name=people110911 /> were married on January 19, 2013, in [[Providence, Rhode Island]].

After four years of marriage, Pell filed for divorce from Kwan in March 2017 citing irreconcilable differences.<ref>{{cite news|title=Clay Pell files for divorce from Michelle Kwan|url=http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20170329/clay-pell-files-for-divorce-from-michelle-kwan|access-date=March 29, 2017|work=Providence Journal|date=March 29, 2017|archive-date=September 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180924141210/http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20170329/clay-pell-files-for-divorce-from-michelle-kwan|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Political views and activism ===
Kwan worked as a surrogate to Hillary Clinton's [[Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign|2016 presidential campaign]] as an outreach coordinator.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hillary for America-Organization and Staff of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign|url=http://www.p2016.org/clinton/clintonorg.html|access-date=September 8, 2016|website=www.p2016.org|archive-date=September 6, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160906113438/http://www.p2016.org/clinton/clintonorg.html|url-status=live}}</ref> When asked why she decided to join the campaign she explained, "There was no way that I could sit on the sidelines."<ref name="nymag.com">{{Cite web|url=https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/08/michelle-kwan-is-working-for-hillary-clinton.html|title=Michelle Kwan Is Working for Hillary Clinton|first=Marin|last=Cogan|website=Nymag.com|date=August 28, 2016|access-date=February 15, 2022|archive-date=July 7, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220707172207/https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/08/michelle-kwan-is-working-for-hillary-clinton.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

She added that, for her, supporting Clinton was a no-brainer, given her family's own immigrant history. "Every day I'm reminded about my personal story, about what's at stake in these elections. I think of my parents, and as I look around the room, we probably share similar stories, of how our parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents might have immigrated to the U.S. It's so the next generation of Americans have the ability to dream that dream."<ref name="nymag.com" />

In May 2021, it was announced that Kwan would executive produce "Recipe for Change" for [[YouTube]] alongside [[LeBron James]], [[Maverick Carter]], [[Dennis Cheng]], Jamal Henderson and Philip Byron. The special, set to air June 16, 2021 and produced by the [[SpringHill Company]], brings together Asian American celebrities, chefs, activists, and creators to celebrate [[Asian Pacific American|Asian and Pacific Islanders]] culture<ref>{{cite web|last=Cabajar|first=Llana|date=July 7, 2021|title=Recipe for Change opens the dialogue for Asian and Pacific Islanders (API) culture and discrimination|url=https://villagepipol.com/recipe-for-change-opens-the-dialogue-for-asian-and-pacific-islanders-api-culture-and-discrimination/|access-date=January 5, 2021|website=Village Pipol.com|publisher=Red Entertainment, Inc.|location=Pasig City, Philippines|archive-date=January 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106021057/https://villagepipol.com/recipe-for-change-opens-the-dialogue-for-asian-and-pacific-islanders-api-culture-and-discrimination/|url-status=live}}</ref> and discuss the recent and historic acts of hate and violence against the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders community.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Will Smith & Alicia Keys Docuseries Lead Latest YouTube Originals Lineup|url=https://deadline.com/2021/05/will-smith-alicia-keys-docuseries-youtube-originals-1234749289/|access-date=June 2, 2021|archive-date=June 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210602213949/https://deadline.com/2021/05/will-smith-alicia-keys-docuseries-youtube-originals-1234749289/|url-status=live}}</ref> "Recipe for Change" was nominated for "Outstanding Daytime Special" at the [[49th Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=49th Daytime Emmys Nominees – Program Non-Drama|url=https://theemmys.tv/daytime/49th-nominees-program-non-drama//|access-date=September 14, 2022|archive-date=September 29, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220929180838/https://theemmys.tv/daytime/49th-nominees-program-non-drama/|url-status=live}}</ref>
