Shaffer was married three times – to Henrietta Glaskie, Carolyn Soley (with whom he had two children, Claudia and Cressida), and Australian actress [[Diane Cilento]].

Shaffer met Cilento in 1973, when she appeared in ''The Wicker Man''. He moved to Australia in 1975 and married Cilento in 1985. Together they built a house (''The Castle'') and a theatre (''The Karnak Playhouse''). Shaffer was legally domiciled in Australia (where he owned land and a restaurant, paid taxes and voted in elections), although he did maintain a flat in [[London]].<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1453901/Shaffers-lover-fails-in-battle-over-his-estate.html "Shaffer's lover fails in battle over his estate"].

In the last years of his life Shaffer had an extramarital relationship with Marie Josette "JoJo" Capece-Minutolo when in London. Cilento did not accompany Shaffer to England but remained in Australia. After Shaffer's death, Capece-Minutolo made a claim on his estate in the British High Court, arguing that Shaffer had intended to divorce Cilento and marry her and that he had given her an engagement ring. The Shaffer estate argued that Shaffer had no desire to end his marriage to Cilento. The judge found that despite Shaffer's being in "an intimate and loving relationship" with Capece in London,  Shaffer and his estate were not legally domiciled in the United Kingdom at the time of his death, and that therefore Capece-Minutolo had no legal claims on his estate, other than any bequest in Shaffer's will, which had been changed in 1999.<ref>{{cite news |title=Playwright's family fight off mistress's claim to share legacy |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/feb/10/arts.artsnews |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |date=10 February 2004 |access-date=14 March 2017}}</ref>
