Younes has been in a relationship with Mako: Island of Secrets actress Amy Ruffle since 2012.

In 2009, Younes made his debut in acting when he guest starred in an episode of the crime drama City Homicide as Tyler Drew. After attending his first audition, Younes was cast as Romeo Kovac in the Showcase drama series Tangle.
