Watson is married to Angela Watson, a Canadian whom he met at Georgia while he was on the golf team and she was on the women's basketball team. They were married in September 2004.
Unable to have a child naturally, various family issues, including the illness and death of Watson's father in 2010, kept them from attempting to adopt until 2011–12. In March 2012, one week after a potential adoption fell through at the last moment, Watson and his wife adopted a one-month-old baby boy named Caleb. In late 2014, the Watsons adopted a baby girl.
