What is interesting is of course the risk of unknowing half-sibling couples.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/755052/population-of-the-netherlands-by-age-and-gender/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/755052/population-of-the... tells us there are roughly 1 million childred aged 5 or less. Let's say 500 of these are this man's children.
If all of those 1 million kids form couples within the same age group we have 500000 couples.
Assume even split between the sexes, and assume heterosexuality.
Then each of the 500 kids will have a 250/500000=1/2000 chance of coupling with a half-sibling, or 1-1/2000 probability of not.
Repeat this for all 500 kids we get a probability of 1-(1-1/2000)^500 =
22% of at least one half-sibling couple.
