Three Wimbledon victories, now also the third marriage: In Portofino on Italy’s Mediterranean coast, the former tennis star is celebrating his wedding with Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro.
Tennis legend Boris Becker is married again. The 56-year-old and his partner Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro (34) tied the knot on Saturday. Becker’s lawyer Christian-Oliver Moser confirmed this to the German Press Agency.
In wedding photos published by “Vogue,” the bride can be seen in a strapless white dress and a veil, and the groom in a cream-colored suit jacket – including during the wedding kiss. The wedding ceremony and celebration took place in the coastal town of Portofino on the Italian Riviera.
When she saw the location in February, she “immediately had a vision of what our wedding would look like,” Monteiro told Vogue in an interview on Thursday. “We looked at each other and both knew that this would be the place where we would celebrate our big day.”
Becker and risk analyst Monteiro, who comes from the African island state of São Tomé and Príncipe, have been a couple for several years. Monteiro also stood by Becker during a trial in London and the subsequent prison sentence.
After financial difficulties, the former tennis star had concealed assets worth millions when he went to the insolvency administrator. Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison and spent several months in prison in London, but was released early in December 2022 and deported to Germany. He has also been released from bankruptcy since April.
It is the third marriage for the three-time Wimbledon winner from Leimen near Heidelberg, who now lives in Milan after being forced to leave his adopted home of London.
