His paternal grandfather, Leslie Haden-Guest, was a Labour Party politician who was a convert to Judaism, and his paternal grandmother's father was Colonel Albert Goldsmid, a British officer who founded the Jewish Lads' and Girls' Brigade and the Maccabaeans.[2][3] Both of Guest's parents were atheists, and Guest had no religious upbringing.[3]

Nicholas Guest spent parts of his childhood in the United Kingdom. He is the brother of actor Christopher Guest and writer Elissa Haden Guest, the brother-in-law of actress Jamie Lee Curtis and the half brother of the British-American writer Anthony Haden-Guest.[4]

Guest married Jill Ellen Demby on May 11, 1980, but they divorced in 1989. With Demby he had his first daughter. On November 26, 1989, he married Pamela Ann Guest (née Seamon), an actress and casting director, with whom he had his second daughter.[citation needed]
