Kösen turned 40 years old on 10 December 2022. He celebrated his birthday a few days early by visiting the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum in Orlando, Florida, USA, and posing next to a life-sized statue of Robert Wadlow, the tallest man ever, at 272 cm (8 ft 11.1 in).
On 13 November 2014, as part of Guinness World Records Day, Kösen met, for the first time, the world's shortest man ever, Chandra Bahadur Dangi (.mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}54.6 cm (1 ft 9+1⁄2 in), at an event in London.

In October 2013, Kösen married Syrian-born Merve Dibo, who is ten years younger than him. In an interview, he said that his biggest problem with his wife is communication, as he spoke Turkish but his wife spoke only Arabic. The pair divorced in 2021 citing the language barrier as one of the key problems. Kösen hopes to marry another woman someday.
On 9 February 2011, Kösen was remeasured by Guinness World Records at 251 cm (8 ft 2+7⁄8 in). They also remeasured his hands at 28 cm (11 in), which broke his previous record.

On 25 August 2010, according to the University of Virginia, a height of up to 254.3 cm (8 ft 4+1⁄8 in) had been confirmed by doctors, who stated that this might be Kösen's actual height, artificially lowered by scoliosis and bad posture.
On 25 August 2009, Kösen's standing height was recorded at 246.4 cm (8 ft 1 in) in his home country by Guinness World Records, overtaking former world record holder Bao Xishun, who stands 236.1 cm (7 ft 8+15⁄16 in) tall. Kösen also holds the current Guinness record for the largest hands, at 27.5 cm (10+7⁄8 in), and the second-largest feet: 36.5 cm (14+3⁄8 in) (left foot) and 35.5 cm (14 in) (right foot).
