Steve Kroft currently resides in New York City with his wife, Jennet Conant, a journalist and best-selling author. The couple has one son, John Conant Kroft, who began attending the Juilliard School in 2012 to pursue performing arts.
In 2015, Kroft publicly acknowledged involvement in an extramarital affair with Lisan Goines, a New York-based lawyer and Columbia Law School graduate. While news of the affair attracted media commentary, it did not overshadow his professional legacy in journalism.
Despite his prominence, Kroft maintains a modest social media presence. His Facebook profile, listed under the name "Steve Croft," has approximately 1,731 followers. On Twitter, under the handle Steve Kroft, he has about 590 followers. His Instagram account (@kroftsteve) has only a handful of followers, suggesting he uses these platforms sparingly.
Kroft’s interviews—particularly with U.S. presidents and public figures—have often sparked dialogue. On December 13, 2009, during an interview with President Barack Obama, Kroft stated that "Most Americans right now don't believe this war's worth fighting" in reference to the War in Afghanistan. This assertion was later challenged by Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport, who cited polling data showing Americans were split in opinion on the issue. Nonetheless, Kroft’s question captured a sentiment present in public discourse at the time.
In March 2009, while discussing the recession in another interview with President Obama, Kroft questioned the president’s tone when he appeared to laugh during the segment. The moment received diverse reactions but further showcased Kroft’s commitment to addressing serious issues with candor.
