In April 2014, Guardiola was pulled over by Spring Branch Police and was found to have one of his 16-year-old students with him, who told investigators they were in a sexual relationship. Later that month, Guardiola and the teen traveled to Las Vegas and were married in the presence of the teen's mother.[3] Guardiola was subsequently arrested on May 8, 2014, and charged with sexual assault of a child.[4] On September 5, 2014, the charges were dismissed, since both the teen in question and her parents insisted that the relationship was consensual, refusing to press charges or to cooperate with police investigators.[5][6]

Guardiola was in a previous relationship with Monica Rial in the 1990s.[7]
