Personal Life
Kimmich and his partner Lina Meyer have two children: a son born in 2019, and a daughter born in October 2020. With his Bayern Munich colleague Leon Goretzka, he started the “We Kick Corona” internet effort to aid humanitarian, social, and medical organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kimmich has remained unvaccinated against COVID despite his early support for the project. His lack of vaccinations prompted him to miss crucial matches for both the German national team and Bayern Munich. Kimmich openly declared that he regretted his reservations and will be obtaining the immunisation after testing positive for COVID in November 2021 and apparently having several negative effects including diminished lung capacity.
