Following their secret wedding ceremony, Murray's representative informed We that the couple was "thrilled and filled with joy, embracing their life as a married couple." In May 2015, the two actors joyfully welcomed their first child.

"We have been bestowed with the blessing of a son, a truly precious gift from God," expressed the actor from A Cinderella Story on Twitter. "Sarah and I are beyond overjoyed." The pair further expanded their family by welcoming a daughter in March 2017.

"Don't worry, my little girl. You can hold on as tightly and for as long as you like. You have my heart, and I will always be there for you," Murray wrote as he shared a touching photo of his daughter's small hand clasping his finger on Instagram. "I am incredibly fortunate to have two amazing women in my life. My son and I feel truly blessed."

The devoted father and his partner, Roemer, have not publicly revealed their children's names or shown their faces on social media. However, they do offer glimpses of their family life. "The love and cuddles are genuine. Daddy duty is the best responsibility," the House of Wax actor captioned an Instagram picture in March 2021, showing his daughter sitting on his lap with her arms wrapped around his neck.

In the same year, the individual from New York expressed his admiration for his partner in a heartfelt Instagram post on Mother's Day. He declared, "Being incredibly blessed feels like a dream. Wishing the kindest, gentlest, and most nurturing person I know a Happy Mother's Day." He continued, "We have ventured across the globe as a little family, and I wouldn't change a single thing. We love you immensely. You are our foundation, our bond, and the core of our family. You're unbelievably cool. We love you, mama."
