It’s hard to find love in this day and age. Well, Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp is a lucky man in this regard! The German tactician found love not once but twice, with the Reds’s  head coach enjoying a prosperous relationship with his wife Ulla Sandrock. However, unknown to many, Jurgen Klopp had another partner before meeting the children’s storybook writer. Prior to his marriage with Sandrock, Klopp was in a relationship with Sabine Klopp, with the duo parting ways in 2001.

Jurgen Klopp and Sabine had a long relationship, as the two were together since 1980 before parting ways in 2021. The two also gave birth to Klopp’s eldest, Marc Klopp, in 1988, who followed in his father’s footsteps as a professional soccer player before retiring in 2015 to venture into the world of business.

Sabine was born in 1967, the same as her ex-husband. The duo met each other in their early childhood and dated each other for eight years before tying the knot following the birth of their son. But, they parted ways in 2001. Despite divorce, Sabine reportedly had great ties with his parents and continued to be in touch until their respective deaths.
