McInerney was married to Long Island attorney Edward Palermo, with whom she has daughters Olivia, 12, and Ava, in her midteens.[19]

On January 19, 2020, McInerney became engaged to singer-songwriter Don Felder, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician with his former band the Eagles. The proposal took place at sunset on a beach in Malibu, California, near where Felder had helped compose the music for the Eagles' classic song "Hotel California." Felder proposed with a custom-made, 5-carat diamond ring. Afterward, the couple, who have been in a relationship for two years, celebrated their engagement at the Chablé Maroma resort in Cancún, Mexico.[19][20]

In October 2020, McInerney and Felder ended their engagement.

McInerney, who lives in New York City, reportedly made the decision in August, after their long-distance relationship became too challenging. As she prioritized her young daughters amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Felder is still based across the country in California. According to TMZ, 'Diane will always love Don and they're still keeping in touch. Don even sent Diane three dozen pink roses last month for her birthday.'[21][22]
