While at an auditioning for a couple on the show Saving Graces, West met Chyler Leigh. They have worked on many projects with each other after that, usually portraying couples, including Seventh Heaven and Safe Harbor. When on the set of Not Another Teen Movie, Nathan proposed to Chyler. The couple married on July 20, 2002 in Alaska. Leigh and West have three children: Noah Wilde West (Born December 2003), Taelyn Leigh West (born September 2006), and Anniston Kae West (born May 7, 2009).
Leigh has said that she and Nathan have a pact in which the person who guesses the baby's sex correctly gets to choose the name. When pregnant with Noah, Leigh guessed she was having a boy so she chose the first name and Nathan gave him his middle name. For Taelyn, Nathan correctly guessed it was a girl, so he named her. Their third child, also a girl, was guessed correctly by West.
West is a Christian. Nathan West and his family live in Los Angeles.
