Kroos established himself as a regular starter in Germany's [[UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying|qualification]] campaign for [[UEFA Euro 2012]], playing in eight out of a possible ten games. Germany won all ten qualifying matches to top [[UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying Group A|group A]]. After qualification was already ensured, Kroos scored his first two international goals, both with his strong right foot. Notably, both Kroos' goals were Germany's first after falling behind in the respective matches, both of which were drawn away friendlies, against the two Euro 2012 hosts – [[Poland national football team|Poland]] and [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]]. National coach [[Joachim Löw]] also praised him: "How Toni distributes the ball, how he receives it, is very good. He's technically excellent ...

Kroos married his long-term girlfriend Jessica Farber on 13 June 2015. They have two sons and a daughter.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.realtotal.de/drittes-mal-vater-nachwuchs-im-hause-kroos/ | title = Drittes Mal Vater: Nachwuchs im Hause Kroos | language = de | website = Real Total | date = 26 March 2019 | access-date = 3 March 2021 | first = Nils | last = Kern | archive-date = 1 October 2023 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20231001140230/https://www.realtotal.de/drittes-mal-vater-nachwuchs-im-hause-kroos/ | url-status = live }}</ref> He owns a house on the island of [[Mallorca]].<ref name="Vertrag bis 2020!

In March 2021, Kroos said it was "wrong" for the [[2022 FIFA World Cup]] to be held in Qatar, pointing out the Gulf state's poor treatment of migrant workers and its criminalisation of homosexuality. He said that footballers should draw attention to those issues instead of boycotting the tournament.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ford |first1=Matt |title=Kroos: 'It's wrong that the World Cup was awarded to Qatar' |url=https://www.dw.com/en/toni-kroos-its-wrong-that-the-world-cup-was-awarded-to-qatar/a-57064557 |access-date=15 July 2024 |publisher=Deutsche Welle |date=31 March 2021}}</ref> In 2023, he criticised footballers for moving to the [[Saudi Pro League]], believing that it was driven only by money.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Moragón |first1=Jorge |title=Toni Kroos lashes out at the Saudi Pro League: They say they are ambitious but it's all about money |url=https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2023/08/31/64f0a31246163f7f2d8b456d.html |access-date=15 July 2024 |work=Marca |date=31 August 2023}}</ref> He said that he would never move to the country due to its human rights record, which prompted him to be booed while playing in the [[2024 Supercopa de España]], which was hosted in [[Saudi Arabia]].<ref>{{cite news |title='Saudi boos showed I said the right thing' says Madrid's Kroos |url=https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20240212-saudi-boos-showed-i-said-the-right-thing-says-madrid-s-kroos |access-date=15 July 2024 |publisher=France 24 |date=13 February 2024}}</ref>

Later in the discussion, he said that he supported [[immigration to Germany]] "1,000%" but felt that it had been "uncontrolled" and had allowed some "not good" people to enter. Kroos's interview was misinterpreted and many thought he was suggesting a link between [[immigration and crime in Germany]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Schlecht übersetzt: Toni Kroos wird nach Interview Rassismus vorgeworfen |url=https://www.derstandard.de/story/3000000227624/schlecht-uebersetzt-toni-kroos-wird-nach-interview-rassismus-vorgeworfen |access-date=15 July 2024 |work=Der Standard |date=9 July 2024 |language=German}}</ref>
