==Personal life==
On July 27, 2019, Bumpass married Angela VanZandt, with whom he attended high school fifty years prior.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theknot.com/us/angela-vanzandt-and-rodger-bumpass-jul-2019|title=Angela VanZandt and Rodger Bumpass's Wedding Website|website=www.theknot.com}}</ref>

===Legal issues===
On January 15, 2016, Bumpass was arrested for alleged [[Driving under the influence|DUI]] in [[Burbank, California]]. A police report of the incident alleged that officers of the Burbank Police Department found Bumpass in his car in the middle of the road. He was said to have been leaning against the vehicle, and when officers approached him for questioning, he attempted to walk away and lost his balance (nearly falling to the ground). Bumpass admitted to drinking and driving after leaving a Burbank bar before the police spotted him, and he was soon handcuffed after failing a sobriety test. His [[blood alcohol levels]] were said to be more than twice the legal limit. He was later released on a $15,000 [[bail bond|bail]] shortly the next morning.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://abc7.com/1166309/|title=Rodger Bumpass from 'SpongeBob SquarePants' arrested for suspicion of DUI, police records say|author=((ABC7.com staff))|date=January 20, 2016|website=ABC7 Los Angeles}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ew.com/article/2016/01/19/spongebob-squarepants-actor-rodger-bumpass-arrested-dui/|title=Rodger Bumpass, voice of Squidward on 'SpongeBob SquarePants,' arrested for alleged DUI|website=EW.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-spongebob-squarepants-actor-arrested-in-dui-20160120-story.html|title='SpongeBob SquarePants'{{'}} voice of Squidward held on suspicion of DUI|date=January 20, 2016|website=Los Angeles Times}}</ref>

The incident was first reported by celebrity gossip website [[TMZ]] several days after it occurred, on January 19. A day later, Bumpass alleged to the website that the police had lied about the DUI report, claiming that he was not leaning against his car when officers spotted him, and that he was being tailed and pulled over by the officers before his arrest, though he did confess again to the DUI charge. Nickelodeon representatives were notified of the incident by Bumpass, but did not release any immediate comments or actions regarding the matter.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tmz.com/2016/01/20/spongebob-squarepants-squidward-tentacles-dui/|title='SpongeBob SquarePants' Squidward Tentacles -- Claims Cops Lied in DUI Arrest|website=TMZ|date=January 20, 2016 |language=en|access-date=October 10, 2019}}</ref>

On January 25, 2016, ten days after the incident, Nickelodeon representatives confirmed to TMZ that Bumpass would remain on ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' for the foreseeable future. The representatives alleged that the network did not consider DUI charges to be an immoral act, and thus Bumpass was not legally subject to termination.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tmz.com/2016/01/25/spongebob-squarepants-squidward-dui-nickelodeon/|title='SpongeBob SquarePants' -- DUI Bust Won't Cost Squidward His Job|website=TMZ|date=January 25, 2016 |language=en|access-date=October 10, 2019}}</ref>
