He is married to Camai Mazzulla. They met while playing basketball at West Virginia University, where he was a student. They tied the knot in 2014 after graduating and have been together ever since.

Joe worked at West Virginia as an assistant coach for three seasons after graduating. The NBA G League hired him as an assistant coach after that.

He could not help but mention how his time as a student helped him meet his wife when he left West Virginia. Joe Mazzulla wrote about their relationship and the time they spent developing as a couple while in college and after, saying:

"I have spent some of my most significant years here, including my college years and the years after graduation when I continued to develop emotionally and spiritually. I also had the great fortune of meeting my lovely wife, getting married, starting our family here, and buying our first house. My family and I will always be grateful for the experiences West Virginia has provided us."

Camai is the mother of two boys, Michael Harden and Emmanuel, who she characterised on the "More Than a Season" podcast as "two very wild and crazy boys." The Boston Celtics' coach relocated with his wife and kids to Boston to maintain their family's unity when he accepted an assistant coaching position in 2019.

The wife of Joe Mazzulla is no stranger to sports; during her time in college, she competed in both volleyball and track. She started leading the school's volleyball team after earning her degree from Glenville State College. She worked there as the head coach from 2010 to the 2013 season, and she revealed that she decided to stop because she had "made a commitment at that point to invest in her husband's career."
