He played for the national team and was at the Olympics. Ex-footballer Max Kruse is currently traveling in the USA. He visits his son there.
The former national and Bundesliga player Max Kruse is currently in Florida, as he shares in an Instagram story with his followers. He also clarifies why he is in the USA. He visits his son, who lives with his mother in the United States in the “Sunshine State”.
The occasion is a beautiful one: the son of Kruse, Lauro Maxim, has her birthday. In his Instagram story, Max Kruse posted a snapshot of the young person, as he sits on a candlelight in front of a birthday cake and prepares for blowing out the candles. A white plate stands in front of Lauro Maxim. A balloon can also be seen.
Kruse wrote about the photo: “The time simply goes by as much as I do! Today my angel is 15 and is 1.95 tall. The little boy became an almost adult overnight who can drive in a month. All the best. I love you.”
In the United States, driving is sometimes allowed much earlier than in Germany. The recording of the son of Kruse is rare. When Lauro Maxim was even smaller, the former soccer player said again and again a picture on which his son could be seen from behind. In recent years, such private insights have become rarity. Also because Lauro Maxim’s mother lives with him in the USA.
During the Corona pandemic, Kruse explained to his fans in a Twitch livestream: “He lives in the USA, for almost six years in Florida. I usually see him four times a year. This is very difficult during Corona times.” Kruse also wears a tattoo with his son’s name and date of birth on his forearm.
