Personal life
Conti is openly gay, confirming this in a radio interview in May 2012 when asked about personal relationships: "I have a partner who is very supportive of my work. I think this is the first time that I actually mention that I have a partner and that he is a man." He added that he maintains his privacy and never feels a need to speak of his personal life, adding, "I really never gave it a thought, I thought, you know, my music needs to speak for itself."
In 2015, Al married Kevin, his longtime partner and manager. They make their home in the Hudson Valley and Manhattan, New York City with Digby, their adopted dog.
Al credits the late Bobby Susser as his mentor and dear friend, and Alison Arngrim, of Little House on the Prairie fame, for her partial guidance in coming out.
As of 2019, Al Conti has retired from the music business, in an official statement made by him in 2020.
