In January 1992 he met his later wife-to-be, Mariska van Rossenberg. He was a local celebrity before rising to national fame due to the national television show "All You Need Is love" in early 1992, where he was to choose two female fans for a date. In 1994 he had his first national hit with "Als Sterren Aan De Hemel Staan". In 1997 he conquered Germany with his album "Weil Ich Dich Liebe".
Frans Bauer's fame kept growing to the point where he had his own reality show called "De Bauers", in which his daily life, including his family life, was followed. Bauer has also designed clothing for the Vroom & Dreesmann retail chain, based in The Netherlands.
He has won several awards and honours in The Netherlands, including a knighthood ("Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau") due to his charitable work and the "Gouden Televizier-Ring" for the reality show that has been running on Dutch television the year previously.
In 2006 he was struck by an infection on his vocal cords. He recovered after surgery.

Zwevend met amor
Zie je duizend gouden sterren
Of een regenboog
In de armen van een engel
Is liefde puur geluk
Zie je duizend zonnestralen
Er kan niets meer voor je stuk
Blauwe ogen blonde haren
En lippen rood als wijn
Zij is echt de mooiste
Zij moet een engel zijn
In de armen van een engel
Zwevend met amor
Zie je duizend gouden sterren
Of een regenboog
In de armen van een engel
Is liefde puur geluk
Zie je duizend zonnestralen
Er kan niets meer voor je stuk
Mooie benen rode wangen
Haar gezicht zacht als satijn
Zij is echt de liefste
Zij moet een engel zijn
In de armen van een engel
Zwevend met amor
Zie je duizend gouden sterren
Of een regenboog
In de armen van een engel
Is liefde puur geluk
Zie je duizend zonnestralen
Er kan niets meer voor je stuk
In de armen van een engel
Zwevend met amor
Zie je duizend gouden sterren
Of een regenboog
In de armen van een engel
Is liefde puur geluk
Zie je duizend zonnestralen
Er kan niets meer voor je stuk
Zie je duizend zonnestralen
Er kan niets meer voor je stuk
