D’Onofrio married the former dutch model Carin on March 22, 1997.
Carin was an international fashion model at 15. After settling in New York City, she became an assistant producer of Art and Commerce.
As a photographer, she worked with many renowned photographers, such as Ellen von Unwerth, Frank W. Ockenfels III, and Mary Ellen Mark.
Then she also became an agent and producer at Julian Meijer et Associes.
Her photography is most inclined toward political use. Carin has worked with No IDC NY, 32BJ SEIU, Sister District, Future Now, and Housing Justice for All in support of abortion rights and fair contracts for building service workers.
D’Onofrio’s wife has also contributed stills to HBO documentaries: The Sentence (2018) and Kill Chain (2020).

Carin’s portraits of her husband appear in Mutha, a book of the actor’s poetry.
She co-produced and directed the documentary Fogo Azul A Powerful Noise. It’s a film that explores the power of music and drumming, in particular, to transform lives and empower women in Brazil and the United States. Carin herself is a band member of Fogo Azul.
