      In 2011, he became host of a popular Dutch television series Ali B op volle toeren. Three seasons of the show have been broadcast on TROS television station. The show invites artists of various genres and tries to offer crossover hits of known songs through "remakes" and cover versions.

      Ali B married his then-manager Breghje Kommers, with whom he lives in Almere. They have two sons, Omar and Amir.
