In December, Boris Becker will be father for the fifth time. The three-time Wimbledon winner sees himself well equipped for the birth.
Tennis legend Boris Becker is well prepared for the birth of his fifth child. “Of course I can change diapers! Also prepare bottles. I did everything with my sons. I am well prepared for my fifth child,” said the 57-year-old of the “Bild” newspaper.
Boris Becker’s wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro is fourth month pregnant. The couple expects the birth of the child to be born in mid -December, as the former tennis star from Leimen near Heidelberg told last Monday in the “Becker Petkovic” podcast. Becker’s office also confirmed that the 34-year-old Lilian was expecting a child.
According to Beckers, the couple does not yet know the child’s gender. And that should stay that way at first. “So far we don’t want to know whether it will be a boy or a girl. We intend to be surprised,” said Becker of the “Bild” newspaper.
In educational issues, Becker is stricter than the mothers of his four children Elias, Noah, Amadeus and Anna, as the triple Wimbledon winner said. “Table manner, culture, language, look in the eyes, put a hand. I am an old school. I don’t want to be the best friend of my children either. I am your father and her respect. You say all dad and you know that I would do everything for my family so that you are fine.” It is important to him that his children learn early on to take on personal responsibility and to stand with both legs in life.
