Even though his personal life is not defined properly, he has rumour girlfriend Claudia Jordon. But again, once he had said that he don’t like to date women from his work. Whoa! What a contradiction!
He is the father of 10 kids. OMG!! But all of them are not biological. He shared on his morning show that, out of 10 only two of them are his own and the rest of them are niece and nephew with adopted.
From this video, we can say that he has a good heart while he shared that he lost his father when he was 6 years old. Apparently, he does not want his niece and nephew to suffer from the same problem that he had gone through. Though he lost his father he explained that he had the good childhood and had the good memory of him.

He is even active in social welfare and he has his own Rickey Smiley foundation. It is a Non-profit organisation. Its motive is to induce youngsters to live their life to full potential and to motivate the teenagers.
Bouncing back to his rumored relationship, he has not accepted the news of having a relationship with his co-star Claudia Jordan. Rickey claimed that "I ever get married again, it’s to somebody who can hold an intelligent conversation.” Maybe he wants girls with mind and who read books a lot. Rickey still claims that he is the single father of 10 children.
