Early life and education
Sabine Klopp was born in 1967 in Germany and is 57 years old this year. Very little information about her early life, family background or educational background is publicly available.
She met Jürgen Klopp at Goethe University in Frankfurt, where they both pursued higher education. The couple’s relationship developed during their college years, eventually leading to marriage in 1988.
Personal life
Sabine Klopp and Jürgen Klopp married in 1988 after 8 years of dating. They have a son together, Marc Klopp, born in 1988.
Marc briefly pursued a football career, playing for various German clubs, including Borussia Dortmund II and SV Darmstadt 98, but his career was cut short due to injury.
Although they divorced in 2001, Sabine and Jürgen maintained a cordial relationship, especially for the sake of their son, who had moved on to a business career.
The couple separated in 2001 after 21 years together, during which time Jürgen’s burgeoning football career put increasing strain on their marriage.
Reports suggest that the strict demands of Jürgen’s management role, especially during his time with Mainz 05, contributed to the growing gap between them.
However, neither side publicly discussed the exact reason for the breakup. After the divorce, Jürgen married Ulla Sandrock in 2005, while Sabine remained largely out of the public eye.
