Jessica Kroos: Toni Kroos' Wife, Age and Children
Who is Jessica Kroos? Toni Kroos' wife since 2015: her age and origin, the three children, her role in the foundation and the couple in 2026.
Jessica Kroos (née Farber) is the wife of Toni Kroos, the German midfielder who won the World Cup in 2014 and five Champions League titles with Real Madrid before retiring in July 2024. The couple have been together since 2008, according to TV Movie, married in 2015 and have three children. In 2026 Toni Kroos is a podcaster, a youth-academy coach near Madrid and a regular pundit on German football, while Jessica stays out of the headlines and works with the family's foundation for children with cancer.
This page collects what reputable outlets have reported about her, and says clearly where nothing reliable exists. Several older profiles of Jessica Kroos, including an earlier version of this article, listed a clothing line, a net worth and other details that we could not source. We removed them.
Who is Toni Kroos' wife?
Toni Kroos is married to Jessica Kroos. German magazine TV Movie reports that they have been a couple since 2008, when Toni was 18 and Jessica was 20. We could not find a first-hand account from either of them of how they met, so we do not repeat the stories that circulate online.
Their first child, a son, was born in 2013, before the wedding. According to TV Movie, Toni proposed after that, and the outlet says he dressed the baby in a bodysuit reading "Willst du Papa heiraten?" ("Do you want to marry Dad?"), a detail Toni revealed in a Q&A for his foundation. English Wikipedia gives the wedding date as 13 June 2015. TV Movie describes a small, private ceremony at Hohen Darsberg near Heidelberg, closed to the public, which is the opposite of the "lavish celebrity wedding" described in older profiles.
In the Instagram post above, from Toni's own account, he wrote that he had married the best two years earlier and tagged his wife.
Who is Jessica Kroos?
Jessica Kroos is a private person, and almost everything written about her comes from German magazines and from her own Instagram account, @jessica_kroos. She does not give regular interviews: we could not find a long interview with her in the German, English or Spanish press. What the press does cover is her public role next to her husband at charity events and at the big matches of his career.
According to TV Movie, she trained as a travel agent (Reisekauffrau). The same outlet notes that her LinkedIn profile no longer lists that job. Some sources say she still works in tourism, while others do not mention a profession at all, so we do not state a current job. What is documented is her work for the Toni Kroos Stiftung, described below.
Jessica Kroos: age, birthday and origin
TV Movie gives Jessica Kroos' date of birth as 5 June 1988 and her place of birth as Speyer, in Rhineland-Palatinate. On that basis she turned 38 in June 2026 and is two years older than Toni, who was born on 4 January 1990 in Greifswald, in the former East Germany. The German magazine desired gives the same date and place, but neither Jessica nor Toni has published her birth date, so treat it as reported by the press rather than confirmed by the family.
She is German. Her maiden name is Farber. Some English-language sites claim she was born in Greifswald, Toni's home town, but the more careful German source points to Speyer.
We found no reliable information about her parents, siblings or school years, and we will not guess. Her height, weight and zodiac sign are not part of any reputable profile either.
Jessica Kroos and the Toni Kroos Stiftung
Jessica and Toni founded the Toni Kroos Stiftung (foundation) in 2015. It supports children with cancer and their families. TV Movie says Jessica sits on the board and works on family support, donor care, project management, marketing and events.
In November 2025 the foundation celebrated its tenth anniversary. Sport1 reported about 450 guests, among them 100 relatives of families the foundation has supported, with Herbert Grönemeyer, Johannes Oerding, Lea and Calum Scott performing without a fee. Former teammates such as Lucas Vázquez and Robert Andrich were also named among the guests.
The post below comes from Jessica's own account and is tagged with the foundation and a photographer who covers its gala.
Jessica Kroos' children with Toni Kroos
The couple have three children. Their names and birth years are public because the family has shared them: son Leon (born in 2013), daughter Amelie (2016) and son Fin (2019). TV Movie lists the same names and years. We give only the years and show no photos of the children's faces.
TV Movie reports that the family still lives near Madrid. Before the Germany match against Mexico at the 2018 World Cup, Jessica wrote in an Instagram caption that Amelie and Leon were excited to cheer on their father in the stadium the next day.
Jessica Kroos' net worth
No reputable outlet has published a figure for Jessica Kroos' own wealth, and the "$1 million" that older profiles repeated, including this one, had no source. We have removed it. Toni Kroos' earnings are also often quoted in blog posts without sources, so we do not print a net worth or weekly wage for him either. If a figure matters to you, look for one published by a financial outlet with a stated method.
Jessica Kroos on Instagram
Her account is @jessica_kroos. She posts family moments, charity events and the occasional partnership with brands. Toni's account is @toni.kr8s. The anniversary post in the age section above, in German, says she is grateful to have such a wonderful person by her side.
The older versions of this article linked a Twitter account for Jessica. We could not confirm that it is active, so the link was removed.
