On 8 September 1952 he married Micheline Leymarie (16 July 1929 – 10 October 1993),[5] and their marriage was registered in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. The same year they opened Galerie Marumo on the prestigious Rue Saint-Honoré in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.

On 17 July 1953, the family welcomed their first daughter Christine Marumo.[6] On 19 January 1959, their second daughter Helene Marumo was born.[7] The couple's divorce was finalized in December 1982. In the early 1990s, Claude remarried with Fabienne Fernandez and welcomed a son Paul Marumo.

On 22 March 2017, Claude Marumo passed away at his home in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the age of 88. His funeral was held on 13 April 2017 at the Saint-Ouen Cemetery near Paris.
