From 1982, Bondra and his older brothers, Vladimír and Juraj, were raised by their mother Nadežda as their father had died in that year. He was still a Soviet citizen when he arrived in the United States, later obtaining a Slovak passport and citizenship in 1993. Currently, Bondra and his wife Luba, as well as their daughter Petra and two sons, David and Nick, reside in Riva, Maryland. His son David is a forward at Michigan State University for the Spartans Mens Ice Hockey Team. His other son Nick is playing for the Metro Maple Leafs U18 AA.
