Personal Life
Wolkoff married actress Courtney Davis in May 2014. They have a son named Fox. The family lives in the Atwater Village neighborhood in Los Angeles with their dog and two cats.

In October 2017, the couple made news headlines when they started a fundraiser for their nanny, who saved their son's life when she was taking the two year old Fox for a walk in his stroller. As they crossed the street, a car appeared out of nowhere and failed to stop at the stop sign, heading straight for the boy and his nanny. The nanny pushed the boy out of the way and placed herself between the car and the boy's stroller, saving his life. The boy was unharmed, but the injuries suffered by the nanny left her unable to work or go to school. Wanting to help the woman who saved their son's life, Wolkoff and his wife started a fundraiser to help with her medical and life expenses.
