Following his 11th professional season, Tangradi announced his retirement from professional hockey, embarking on a new career in real estate on May 5, 2021.[21]

Growing up in Philadelphia as the son of a postal worker, Tangradi was a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, and had Eric Lindros' and Keith Primeau's jerseys along with the Flyers' Legion of Doom poster hanging on his room's wall. In addition to ice hockey he also played lacrosse as a youth.[22]

Tangradi is a dog lover, and owns a Boxer named Carson in honor of the street in Pittsburgh where he met his wife, Caitlyn Hess.
