Personal
He is not married, but had a relation with a Hungarian woman until 2011. He was prosecuted for assaulting his former girlfriend Tessa Rolink. The case was not brought before a court because a transaction settlement was reached between Eurlings and the Dutch public prosecution service, but details about the transaction have not been officially released. The transaction formally constituted an act of persecution and hence Eurlings now has a criminal record.
