[[Ruth Dayan]], his first wife, divorced Moshe in 1971 after 36 years of marriage due to his numerous extramarital affairs. In the Israeli best-selling book that followed the divorce, ''Or Did I Dream the Dream?'', Ruth Dayan wrote a chapter about "Moshe's bad taste in women".<ref>{{cite magazine| url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,910563,00.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080414135504/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,910563,00.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=14 April 2008 | magazine=Time | title=ISRAEL: Life with Moshe | date=26 February 1973}}</ref> In 1973, two years after the divorce, Dayan married Rachel Korem in a simple ceremony performed by Rabbi Mordechai Piron, IDF chief chaplain, at the Pirons' home. The wedding was not announced in advance and Piron had to recruit neighbors to complete a minyan (the 10-man quorum required for a religious ceremony). Dayan humorously told well-wishers that he had no trouble getting a marriage license. "She is divorced and I am divorced. I am no [[Kohen|Cohen]] (priest) and no mamzer (bastard) so there was no trouble." Neither Dayan's daughter and two sons nor Korem's two daughters attended.<ref>JTA, 6/28/1973 [http://www.jta.org/1973/06/28/archive/dayan-surprise-wedding-neighbors-recruited-for-minyan#ixzz3CpPwQJVz Dayan Surprise Wedding Neighbors Recruited]</ref> When he died, Dayan left almost his entire estate to his second wife, Rachel. {{Citation needed|date = September 2016}}

Moshe's and Ruth's daughter, [[Yael Dayan]], a novelist, is best known in Israel for her book, ''My Father, His Daughter'', about her relationship with her father.<ref>Dayan, Yael.

She has served in the [[Knesset]] and on the [[Tel Aviv]] City Council, and was a [[Tel Aviv-Yafo]] deputy mayor, responsible for social services. One of his sons, [[Assi Dayan]], was an actor and a movie director.<ref>[http://www.haaretz.com/news/israeli-actor-director-assi-dayan-suffers-severe-heart-attack-1.3990 "Israeli actor director Assi Dayan suffers severe heart attack"] ''[[Ha'aretz]]'', 17 November 2009</ref> Another son, novelist Ehud Dayan, who was cut out of his father's will, wrote a book critical of his father months after he died, mocking his military, writing, and political skills, calling him a philanderer, and accusing him of greed. In his book, Ehud accused his father even of making money from his battle with cancer. He also lamented having recited [[Kaddish]] for his father "three times too often for a man who never observed half the [[Ten Commandments]]".<ref>''[[Anchorage Daily News]]'': 26 May 1982.
