Kondo and her husband Takumi Kawahara married in 2012. They are already parents to two young daughters, Satsuki and Miko.

While promoting her book, "Kiki & Jax: The Life-Changing Magic of Friendship" in 2019, the organizing expert discussed how having her daughters inspired her to write a children's book.

"I was thinking about how I could teach my daughters how to tidy, and I noticed that they loved books," she told HuffPost. "They always wanted to mimic what they learned in books, so I thought, 'Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could somehow use books to teach them how to tidy?'"

Kondo has also written four books on organizing, including the bestselling 2010 guide, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up."
