He lived in the U.S. beginning in 1992. He was married to Mary McGrath 1985–2007; they lived near Menomonie, Wisconsin, and had three children: Michael, Holly and Maddy.

While touring with Palmer’s band in New Zealand in March 2020, they became stranded there under Covid-19 travel restrictions. During a marital dispute in May, Gaiman left New Zealand and went home to Skye (violating Scottish Covid travel regulations, for which he publicly apologized). He then had trouble getting permission to re-enter New Zealand, but was finally able to return to his family in January 2021 and has remained in New Zealand.
