J.D. is the younger son of Sam and Barbara Dorian. He has one older brother, Dan, played by Tom Cavanagh. In "My Office", it was revealed that J.D. had grown up in Trotwood, Ohio. John Ritter played his father, who died in "My Cake" as a tribute to Ritter's death. Sam was an office supplies salesman, J.D. describing him as "a bad one." He did provide for the family, giving J.D. one bike part per year as a birthday present. Sam and Barbara got divorced when J.D. was seven, so Sam left home. Barbara then got remarried six times. She lives with her new fiancée, who kicked Dan out.
In "My Own Private Practice Guy", J.D. stated that he had a grandmother who was still alive, although he claimed that he would feel awful if she did die when he lied about her death as an excuse. His grandmother also appears in a flashback in "My Bed Banter & Beyond". As of "My Advice to You", Grandma Dorian had died. In the same episode, J.D. also mentioned Nana Hobbs. He claimed that she was "a teensy bit racist", a claim backed up by J.D.'s best friend, Turk, explaining that she attacked him believing he was robbing her house.
In "My Quarantine", he says that he had an Uncle Carleton who had red eyes because he was allergic to preserves but still spread them on everything.
Currently, his now "off-again" girlfriend Dr. Kim Briggs gave birth to his son, who they have thus far decided will be named Sam Perry Gilligan Dorian. Sam Dorian was born at the end of "My Hard Labor". The middle name Perry is in honor of Dr. Perry Cox. The Gilligan is because he lost a bet with Turk.J.D.'s only pet, shared with Turk, is a stuffed Yellow Labrador named Rowdy in his apartment, whom Turk bought at a garage sale. In season four, he was replaced by a similar (albeit slightly shorter) stuffed dog named Steven. Rowdy was later returned, as it turned out the Janitor had found and kept Rowdy for two years, until the time he needed it to barter with Carla. J.D. would keep Steven, and Turk would keep Rowdy
