In 1957, Berg married the Danish film editor Edith Toreg (1921–2003). They had a daughter, Merete Berg Toreg (born 1957), a graphic designer and visual artist. This marriage was later dissolved. He subsequently married Aase Marie (Mie) Ingvaldsen (born 1942). They had two children: Lene Berg (born 1965), a film director and artist, and Marius Sheamus Berg, a furniture designer (born 1968).
