The son of 📈 Klopp's wife Ulla Sandrock,
35-year-old Dennis, is set to become a father.
Speaking on Viaplay Sport Polska, a
jubilant Klopp said: 📈 "I'm going to be a grandpa!"
Klopp and Ulla got married in 2005
after meeting at a pub during the Munich 📈 Oktoberfest.
The pair do not have any children
together, but have sons from each of their first respective managers.
Klopp's son,
34-year-old 📈 Marc, gets along well with Dennis according to Bild.
Ulla has been dubbed
"the First Lady" of Bundesliga thanks to her 📈 charitable actions while Klopp worked in
Germany.
She is also a children's novelist, publishing her first book - "Tom and the
📈 Magic Football" - in 2008 before a sequel followed two years later.
Additionally, Ulla
has worked as a teacher in Kenya 📈 and as a nurse in Nairobi.

Ulla made headlines in April 📈 2024 when she handed £1,000
worth of food vouches to staff at a Waitrose in Formby, close to their family 📈 home.
And
it seems she has some sway over Klopp's managerial career as well, with Klopp revealing
Ulla was instrumental in 📈 his decision to pen an extension at Liverpool until 2026.
In
an interview with the club's website, he said: "The most 📈 important contract I signed in
my life was the one with Ulla.
"That's where it started again. We sat in the 📈 kitchen at
the table and Ulla said, 'I can't see us leaving in 2024.' And I was like,
'What?'
"That's how 📈 it all started and when that started I thought 'let's have a
think'."
Klopp then added: "Ulla, she just loves it 📈 here.
"If she would say, 'Honestly,
I love the football and I love watching it but I actually want to go 📈 home', then we
would go, that's the truth. She started it and here we are."
