His family's background remains private, but he lost his mother, aged 92 in 2019, while his father, who lived to 98, was a significant influence in his life. Born with a lighter complexion and often called 'Albino' due to his unique features, including a diastema, he embraced the nicknames, considering them advantageous and contributing to positive experiences in his life.

In a July 2025 interview with Chude Jideonwo, Oyetoro said that a lack of financial stability early in his acting career undermined his confidence and made it difficult to pursue relationships, recalling that he could not afford a car and that many people did not take actors seriously at the time. He recounted that a woman he had wanted to marry insisted he first own two cars, an experience that convinced him she was not the right partner for him; he said he eventually married after starting his lecturing career.
