When it comes to her personal life, Marlo is believed to have many sugar daddies as boyfriends to be able to supplement her high lifestyle.  Many people have accused Marlo of being a gold digger, that only dates men for their money. However, when she defends herself, she says that she deserves to date men who are successful. She has also stated that she does not believe in marriage since she likes to be single and able to date around.  She continued that she likes whoever makes her to feel good and she does not care what others say. She makes a point to say that she loves herself first before anything else and that people should try to be confident. When discussing having to sleep with only wealthy people, she said that she cannot sleep with just anyone because she has  standards to follow. However, since she has said that the likes attract each other, she tries her best to look good and look as if she has money.

She is rumored to be a girlfriend to Charles Grant who is a professional football player. However, Grant is also said to be in the relationship with the Nene Leakes. Charles Grant is also under public scrutiny for many charges involving handing out bad checks.  Additional rumors accuse Marlo Hampton of using CNN founder Ted Turner as a sugar daddy, some believing this relationship has been occurring secretly for years. In her defense, she gave an example of Grant and stated that she was attracted to him as a person and not for his money, since she had more money than him.
