The Aztec youth player emphasizes that he enjoys playing video games with his brothers. In addition, in his room he keeps the Golden Ball he won at the Golden Ball Tournament Gala, corresponding to the Grita México 2022 tournament. He also has the ball from the match in which he made his debut with the tricolor team with the signatures of his teammates and a collectible figure from the Pan American Games in Lima 2019, where he was part of the team that won the bronze medal.
In Kevin's room, there are plenty of posters and photographs of Futbol Club Barcelona, as well as images of his childhood idol, Ronaldinho. The soccer player from Colima explained where his fondness for the Blaugrana team came from: '(I'm a Barcelona fan) because of Ronaldinho'. Despite this, he confessed that he has not had the chance to meet him yet.
"I've been close to him because of an event that took place, but I haven't had the opportunity to talk to him or greet him or anything. But well, someday. If he signs my hand or my leg, that's it, and I'd get it tattooed."
