Anouk does not like to talk about her private life and she prefers to keep her children out of the spotlight as much as possible. Yet they are expected to stand next to their mother when she promises eternal loyalty to Dominique in front of thousands of fans on the Malieveld.
The singer’s love life is a succession of highs and lows. From being cheated on to an unplanned pregnancy, Anouk has been through it all. In addition to heartbreak, it also leaves her with her greatest happiness: her six children.

Benjamin, Elijah and Phoenix
Anouk had her three oldest children with Remon Stotijn, also known in the music world as Postman. After her failed marriage to artist manager Edwin Jansen, Remon was the man she dared to say ‘yes’ to in 2004.
After a relationship of eight years, four of which were married, he pulled the plug. The break came unexpected for Anouk. “One of my best decisions ever. I wasn’t happy, that was the bottom line,” Remon told Het Parool.
Eldest son Benjahmin (19) left for America to play basketball. His sister Phoenix, 17, will soon follow in his footsteps. She has received an offer from Washington State University to play basketball there. Elijah is currently 18 years old.

Jesiah
A year after the break, love happiness smiled at Anouk again and she got into a relationship with rapper Unorthadox (Robert Coenen). In 2010, son Jesiah, now 12 years old, was born.
Furthermore, the singer does not have the best memories of this relationship. The rapper cheated a lot, including with women whom Anouk regarded as friends, while Anouk did not realize what was going on in her own house. There he would “rage like a beast” with several mistresses. All in all, the adultery lasted a year and a half, after which the singer decided not to commit herself to one man for a while.

Sion
After Benjahmin, Elijah, Phoenix and Jesiah, Anouk’s family was expanded with a fourth boy: Sion (7). For a long time it was a mystery who the father was, until it became known that it was basketball player Seraino Dalgliesh.
Sion was conceived in the period after Anouk’s second divorce. At the time, she had “several flings” and became pregnant unplanned. She continued the pregnancy; her relationship with Seraino, who by then had fallen in love with her, was not.

Jelizah
The family happiness was completed with the arrival of a second daughter: Jelizah (5). After Anouk found a partner for life in Dominique, their happiness in love was crowned with a sixth child. Before Jelizah’s pregnancy, the singer had several miscarriages. Because she is blessed with six healthy children, Anouk wanted to leave it at that. She then had herself sterilized in 2017.
