He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1966.[3] He was also a member of both the United States National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.[4][5] Bergström was awarded the Cameron Prize for Therapeutics of the University of Edinburgh in 1977.

In 1943, Bergström married Maj Gernandt.[8] He had two sons, the businessman Rurik Reenstierna, with Maj Gernandt; and the evolutionary geneticist Svante Pääbo (winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine), from an extramarital affair with an Estonian chemist Karin Pääbo.[9] Both sons were born in 1955, and Rurik learned about the existence of his half-brother Svante only around 2004.[10]
