He was married to the former track and field champion Olga Bogoslovskaya. He has a son, Mikhail, born in 2002.[2]

Guberniev has gotten himself into trouble a number of times for outbursts on live broadcasts, most notably in 2017 when calling French biathlete Martin Fourcade a pig, for which he later apologised.[3] In 2020, he lashed out at tennis commentator Ekaterina Bychkova, calling her "a stupid, vile creature".[4]

On 18 March 2022, Guberniev, together with Maria Sittel, was the host of the Moscow rally in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5][6]
