André Hazes: En Nu… prompted a heavy response in the singer’s direct messages immediately after broadcast, with the singer reporting positive viewer feedback. The reality series arrives after a string of heavier documentary projects that left the artist eager to showcase a lighter phase of his daily life.
Viewers React to André Hazes: En Nu… on RTL 5
While acknowledging that these direct messages naturally stem from already supportive viewers, the artist expressed satisfaction with the initial viewer reception. The weekly series airs Thursdays at 20:30 on RTL 5 and streams on platforms including Videoland and NLZIET, according to TVgids.nl. The program follows Hazes as he learns to cook, coaches his son’s football team, and spends time with friends.
Contrasting Previous Documentaries With the New Reality Show
The new reality format stands in direct contrast to earlier documentary projects such as André Hazes: Crossroads and André Hazes: The Next Chapter, which chronicled his struggles with alcohol and drug addictions between 2020 and 2022. Hazes himself initiated the new series by approaching Videoland directly because he grew tired of projects that started positively but ended on heavy notes. He expressed a desire for his nine-year-old son, Dré, to see archival footage later in life that depicts his father leading an enjoyable, social life rather than dwelling solely on past hardships.
Noa Braaf and Monique Westenberg Appear in the Series
The production features prominent figures from the singer’s current and past personal life, including his girlfriend Noa Braaf and his ex-partner Monique Westenberg. Braaf, whom Hazes began dating in late 2025 after an initial meeting eight years prior when she was 17 and he was 24, initially found the presence of television cameras uncomfortable. Despite her initial hesitation, Braaf ultimately moved in with Hazes and features prominently throughout the episodes. Meanwhile, Westenberg also appears in the program due to ongoing co-parenting contact regarding their son, according to Damespraatjes. The series also captures a restored relationship with his sister, Roxeanne Hazes, with whom he takes a joint family vacation.
Son Dré Kept Out of Sight Amid On-Screen Exposure
While Hazes permits cameras into nearly every aspect of his daily routine—going as far as appearing nearly naked on screen and noting that personal boundaries are still being tested—strict limits remain regarding his son.
