In October 2013, Kösen married Syrian-born Merve Dibo, who is ten years younger than him.

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.
