Rivera is the son of Francisco Rivera 'Paquirri' and Carmen Ordóñez along with his elder brother, the matador Francisco Rivera Ordóñez. His father’s second wife was Isabel Pantoja, with whom Cayetano has a half brother, Francisco Rivera Pantoja.
Rivera belongs to a long line of famous bullfighters: his great-grandfather was Cayetano Ordóñez, who fought under the name, 'Niño de la Palma', and was the inspiration for the matador in Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises.
Cayetano Rivera married model and actress Blanca Romero on October 26, 2001 and divorced in 2004. He is currently in a relationship with former Miss Spain, Eva González.
