Boris Becker becomes father again: This is how his ex-wife Lilly reacts

Boris Becker surprised with BabyNews a few days ago: the former tennis professional and his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro expect the first child together, Becker becomes a father for the fifth time. Ex-wife Lilly Becker, with which Bori’s son Amadeus shares, has now commented on this for the first time-and unusually conciliatory tones.

“I think that’s nice. He also deserves it. A little rest,” said Lilly Becker at the Chio riding tournament in Aachen-and probably alluded to the turbulent past years of her ex-husband.

But with all serenity, the native Dutch did not miss a small swipe. She did not learn about the news from Boris herself, but, like everyone else, about his public announcement. And the son Amadeus together too. “But we have got used to this now,” admits Becker.

Boris Becker announced the BabyNews on Sunday with an Instagram post in which he announced that it was “a little miracle on the way”. In the “Becker Petkovic” podcast, he speculated that the child will be born in December and Christmas, so his wife is four months pregnant.

It is the fifth child for Boris Becker. With his first wife Barbara Becker, he has the adult sons Noah and Elias, from a liaison with Angela Ermakova daughter Anna. Boris Becker was in a relationship with Lilly Becker until 2018. Her son Amadeus was born in 2010.

In 2019 Becker learned the risk analyst Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, in May 2024 they made her engagement known. In September the yes followed in Portofino, Italy.
