Life after sports

In 2009 she married the Argentine sailor Lucio Noceti, with whom she has a son. In 2012 the couple separated, in 2019 divorced. She has a daughter with Michał Pater.

In February 2019, she criticized the Mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski and the "LGBT+ declaration" signed by him.[3][4] She published on her social media "No on has the right to impose on our children something we parents don’t want!!!!". Klepacka's comments received hundreds of reactions, including many from fans in agreement with her stance.[5] She also applauded a right wing publication that equated LGBT people to Nazis.[6][7] She is also a vociferous opponent of abortion.[8][9] In 2019 she featured in a far-right propaganda video on YouTube which was later taken down for inciting hatred.[10] [11]
