    Ulla made headlines in April 2022 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.” More

    Abouk also referenced the “pain” and “grief” she experienced due to the separation and the “failure of a family project to which [she] had given [her] body and soul.”
    She added she did not imagine in addition to facing the “usual pain that comes with a separation,” she would also have to confront “this shame” as well.

    Earlier this month, French prosecutors confirmed the World Cup ace, 24, has been placed under judicial supervision on preliminary charges of rape.
    He is accused of raping a woman after inviting her to his home while his wife was on holiday with their kids.
    Reports in her native Spain claim TV actress Hiba had already been estranged from him for weeks.
    They have not been seen together in public for months.

    And following the rape allegation she is “accelerating” proceedings to separate for good, according to Cierre Digital.
    A previous Instagram post shows Abouk walking on a Dubai beach with her two young sons.
    She captioned it “adding moments”, and included the hashtags “family first” and one translating as “I’d die for mine”.
    Madrid-born Hakimi – who plays for Morocco – is known as the north African nation’s answer to David Beckham.
    In December he became a national hero when his winning penalty against Spain put Morocco through to the World Cup quarter-final for the first time.
    He met Spanish actress Hiba while playing for Borussia Dortmund and they married in a secret ceremony in 2020.
    Their first son was born that year and another two years later.
    In October the A-list couple posed together in a stunning photoshoot in Vogue Arabia.
    Hakimi “strongly denies” the rape allegation, his lawyer Fanny Colin said.
    Ms Colin added the decision to investigate Hakimi would give him the opportunity to defend himself.
    According to Le Parisien, Hakimi had been talking to the alleged victim on Instagram since January 16.
    He allegedly paid for an Uber to drive her to his home in a Paris suburb.
    She claimed he assaulted her before she was able to free herself by kicking him then texted a friend to pick her up.

    The woman went to a police station on Sunday, but reportedly said she did not want to press charges.
    Prosecutors launched an investigation due to the seriousness of the allegations.
