Morgan has stated:

[My full name is] Morgan Michael Douglas Spector. Michael was my paternal great grandfather’s name, and the Douglas is for William O. Douglas, the great progressive Supreme Court justice… My grandma was an actress in the Yiddish Theatre here in New York. I would love to go back and see her do Shakespeare in Yiddish.

In September 2015 Spector married actress Rebecca Hall, whom he had first met the year before, during their work together in the Broadway play Machinal.[3] Their first child was born in 2018.[12]
