Brosnahan was born on July 12, 1990, to Earl Brosnahan and Carol Brosnahan. Her father was a book publisher. In an interview given to Variety, Brosnahan stated that her parents didn't take her acting seriously until she won her first award. She said:

“I had a ‘thing,’ and I could be like, ‘It’s not a hobby anymore. They get it now, now that I’m not waitressing at the same time anymore, not a nanny and also trying to be an actor. I think we’re in the clear.”


Brosnahan thanked her father, Earl, during the Critics Choice awards in her speech after winning the award. Earl was present in the audience. Brosnahan said:

“My dad is actually here tonight, which makes this one of the most special nights that I will absolutely never forget.”

Famous fashion designer Kate Spade was Rachel Brosnahan’s aunt and her father Earl’s sister. Brosnahan was very close to her aunt, who died in June 2018. In an Instagram post five years after her aunt's death, Brosnahan reminisced about how she used to live with Kate while making her Broadway debut and how welcoming and encouraging Kate was to her. She wrote how Kate was so loving and also very funny and made everyone's lives magical by spreading her stardust. Brosnahan considered herself lucky to be in Kate’s orbit. She also mentioned New York didn't feel the same to her anymore, given she was getting back on stage and her aunt was not there to support her. However, Brosnahan finished by writing that Kate was still there.

Rachel Brosnahan is married to American actor Jason Ralph. The two of them had been keeping their marriage under wraps for quite some time. At the 2019 SAG awards, where Brosnahan took home the best actress trophy, she shared the reason behind keeping the marriage private:

"I’ve been quite private about my personal life for a few reasons. The first being that it’s just that…personal. Jason and I also noticed early on that, while we are both the leads of successful television series, he has almost never been asked about our relationship while I have been asked on almost every red carpet I have walked in the last 2 years. We both find this double standard problematic and frustrating and opted to redirect those conversations to our work.”


Jason Ralph played one of the main leads in the Syfy series “The Magician” (2015-2020). He has also appeared in his wife's show, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, where he played Mike Carr, a recurring character.
