==Personal life==
In the mid-2000s, Waltman was in a relationship with [[Chyna|Joanie Laurer]], who competed as Chyna in the WWF.<ref name="WaltmanSpotlight"/> They were engaged but later split up. In March 2005, Waltman appeared on the [[VH1]] reality show ''[[The Surreal Life]]'', in which he visited Laurer in an attempt to reconcile with her. After Laurer refused to reconcile, he was eventually ejected from the house by the other guests. On ''The Tomorrow Show with Keven Undergaro'', he recounted the last time he saw Chyna.<ref>{{cite web|title=Waltman Recounts Last Time He Saw Chyna|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXTUz05RZ5g| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200427101325/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXTUz05RZ5g&gl=US&hl=en| archive-date=April 27, 2020|website=Tomorrow Show YouTube Channel|access-date=June 30, 2016}}</ref> He has been open about past substance abuse issues; during his relationship with Laurer, he struggled with an addiction to [[methamphetamine]] and narcotics such as [[cocaine]] and prescription pain medication.<ref name=pacmetharrest>|{{cite web|url=https://www.larrybrownsports.com/wrestling/x-pac-dealing-meth-did-not-have-relapse/366832|title=X-Pac suspected of dealing meth, says he did not have relapse|work=larrybrownsports.com|date=May 2, 2017|access-date=March 22, 2020}}</ref>

In 2008, Waltman attempted suicide in his [[Mexico City]] apartment. He later said he was so overcome with shame and guilt after a physical altercation with his then-girlfriend [[Alicia Webb]] that he consumed a mixture of pills and alcohol and hanged himself from his apartment balcony. Webb found him hanging and was able to get him down, reviving him until an ambulance arrived. Following this incident, he was placed in WWE-sponsored rehab and began his recovery.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2011/01/x-pac-recalls-suicide-attempt-535765/|title=X-Pac Recalls Suicide Attempt, Bashes TNA, Nexus|work=WrestlingInc.com|date=January 23, 2011}}</ref>

On April 30, 2017, Waltman was arrested at the [[Los Angeles International Airport]] while allegedly possessing methamphetamine. On May 26, the charges were dropped after lab results determined the pills he had were not methamphetamine nor any form of narcotic.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bleacherreport.com/amp/2711991-sean-x-pac-waltman-cleared-of-charges-in-airport-drug-arrest.amp.html|title=Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman Cleared of Charges in Airport Drug Arrest|work=Bleacher Report|date=May 26, 2017}}{{Dead link|date=February 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

On September 24, 2018, Waltman announced the death of his ex-wife and the mother of his two children, Terry Waltman, to whom he was married from 1994 to 2002. He said she had "lost her battle with mental illness and addiction".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/wrestler-sean-apos-x-pac-010216391.html|title=Wrestler Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman Shares His Ex-Wife, Terry Waltman, Died From Mental Illness|website=www.yahoo.com|access-date=January 10, 2020|archive-date=July 25, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220725001125/https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/wrestler-sean-apos-x-pac-010216391.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> He began dating author [[Angela Nissel]] in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ronfunches.libsyn.com/-58-happy-to-help-with-angela-nissel|title=Gettin' Better with Ron Funches : # 58 - Happy to Help with Angela Nissel|website=ronfunches.libsyn.com|access-date=January 10, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite tweet |author=Sean Waltman |user=TheRealXPac |number=1202678460595879936 |date=December 5, 2019 |title=Happy Birthday to my very beautiful & incredibly talented girlfriend @AngelaNissel.
