Personal life

[edit]

Kroymann is gay. In an interview with the German Taz,[10] Kroymann has said that she always wanted people to know that she was a lesbian, but also that she can still play any role that she would be able to play if people didn't know that she was gay, and that it took some time before producers finally accepted the fact that an out lesbian can play straight characters.[11]
