He is the son of journalist Catherine David and publisher Jean-Paul Enthoven. In 1996, he married writer Justine Lévy, daughter of philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, himself a friend of Enthoven's father. In 2000, Enthoven began an affair with singer Carla Bruni while she was the mistress of his father, which eventually prompted divorce from Lévy in 2001.

On Wednesday 29 November 2023, Rokhaya Diallo published an editorial with the British publication, The Guardian, in which she discussed Enthoven's alleged harassment of her via X, and the ensuing defamation lawsuit he brought against Diallo. The judge cleared Diallo of all charges, citing that her reproach for his "malign obsession" with her was not a criminal offence.
