Singer André Hazes is set to premiere his new reality television series, André Hazes: And Now…, on October 1, 2026, at 20:30 on RTL 5. The documentary-style program follows the artist through a transition in his career and personal life following a recent theatertour, offering viewers a look behind the scenes at his music, friendships, and family dynamics.
Integration of New Partner Noa Braaf
The series documents the growing relationship between Hazes and his new partner, Noa Braaf, as she gradually moves in with the singer. Hazes told the ANP news agency that Braaf initially needed some time to get used to the filming process. However, by the final days of production, she had grown so comfortable in front of the cameras that she expressed disappointment that shooting was coming to an end.
Role of Ex-Partner Monique Westenberg
Monique Westenberg, Hazes’s former partner with whom he shares a nine-year-old son named Dré, will also make appearances throughout the series. Speaking to Show news, Hazes confirmed that Westenberg’s presence in the show is a natural extension of their ongoing co-parenting relationship. The singer explained that because they frequently spend time together for the sake of their son, the documentary crew naturally captured those shared moments. Having spent years in the public eye during her previous relationship with the singer, Westenberg is accustomed to cameras, making the joint scenes proceed smoothly without friction.
Protecting Their Son’s Privacy
Although the series provides extensive access to Hazes’s daily routines—including coaching his son’s football team, hanging out with friends, and spending time at home—strict boundaries have been established regarding his son’s image. Hazes and Westenberg reached a clear agreement to protect the privacy of nine-year-old Dré. Consequently, the child’s face is rendered unrecognisable in all scenes to ensure he can grow up outside of the direct public spotlight.
Tone and Scope of the New Series
André Hazes: And Now… aims to present a positive portrait of the singer’s life rather than focusing on past conflicts or dramatic storylines. Alongside his relationship with Braaf and co-parenting moments with Westenberg, the series highlights Hazes’s renewed working relationship with his sister, Roxeanne, and his everyday efforts as a father and musician.
