Anna Ermakova turns 25: So she made it from Boris Becker’s shadow

Anna Ermakova (25) was already world famous as a baby because she comes from an illegitimate liaison from tennis legend Boris Becker (57). A fact that she struggled for a long time: “It was not easy to grow up with all the press hype to grow up the intimate details of the meeting of my parents without my perspective or my feelings in this matter being really taken into account since I was a small child”.

But she did not let the stressful experiences get her down, but pursued her own way. In interviews, she is happy to emphasize that she wants to be judged because of her creative work and not because of her family history.

The interest in Anna Ermakova, the illegitimate daughter of Becker and the British model Angela Ermakova (born 1968) from Russia, was huge from the start. Finally, the marriage broke through the so-called “broom chamber affair” in 1999 to his wife Barbara (58).

The former tennis professional initially denied fatherhood. It was only through a lawsuit that he admitted fatherhood and agreed to maintain maintenance payments. But at the latest when the first recordings of little Anna reached the public, every denial was actually futile: because he inherited his red hair, full lips and the big eyes – the similarity is unmistakable. She has her creative talent from her mother.

Angela Ermakova fed up the strong interest of the public in the girl for many years, so that Anna could grow up as normal as possible in London despite her sensational history. Every now and then a TV team was allowed to show how the only daughter of the four-time father Boris Becker is growing up. With increasing age, however, the girl dared to take a step into the spotlight. At the age of 14, she gave her catwalk debut at the Berlin Fashion Week, where she was allowed to open the show for the Riani label. “This is an absolute dream that came true for me. All my friends dream of such an opportunity. Everything went so quickly with me,” she enthused in 2015.

And so she started her very own career path – beyond a tennis court. The most important step was probably that on the dance floor. In the RTL show “Let’s Dance”, she was able to prove in 2023 that she not only had a famous genes, but also really what was on it. In May 2023, she and her dance partner Valentin Lusin (38) prevailed against Julia Beautx (25) and Philipp Boy (37) in the final, won the dance cup and the title “Dancing Star”. Overall, Anna Ermakova was able to get hold of the jury’s maximum number of points in the course of the season, which was a record on the show. With her “Let’s Dance” appearance, she was able to solve a bit from the image “daughter of”, as she proudly explained after her victory.

After that, her career finally picked up speed. Among other things, she went to “Let’s Dance” Live tour, pulled a jury job on “Das Supertalent” in 2024 and followed her music career. For example, she recorded a love duet with Florian Silbereisen (43) and delivered the anniversary song “Open Sea of ​​Time” in 2024 for the 30th birthday of the RTL series “Unter Uns”. That was “a great honor for me,” she emphasized.

The success is no coincidence. Her mother promoted her right from the start. Anna Ermakova already received singing lessons as a child and learned piano, violin and harp. She is also a language talent: she learns German diligently and speaks French and Russian alongside English. The once smiled ill -made child is now a welcome guest – mostly in a double pack with her mother. Regardless of whether the Berlinale, Semperopernball, Oktoberfest or Film Festival in Cannes: The Ermakovas regularly shine on the red carpets.

The now 25-year-old does not quite believe her unusual chance of success. Back to New Year’s Eve 2024 and said: “What a wild ride this year.

She remember the past twelve months with a “light smile”. To do this, she announced her around 142,000 followers: “Make the best of the end of 2024 to start my best myself around 2025.” So you can look forward to what she is doing in her new year of life.

In any case, your private happiness is still on the wish list for your life. “If I meet the right one, I would also take a step back when it comes to career. I want a hundred percent of a family. I want to marry, children, a nice house, dogs, cats, rabbits and large -boiled dinner, which everyone is looking forward to.”
