Boris Becker, the former tennis champion, has been seen enjoying a sun-soaked holiday in the Bahamas with his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro. The 57-year-old shared several photos on Instagram on Thursday, showing the couple relaxing on the beach and posing together in stylish sunglasses.
Lilian, 23 years younger than Boris, was pictured in a leopard print bikini as she emerged from the sea. The couple married in September in a lavish three-day ceremony in Portofino, Italy. The trip comes shortly after the death of Boris's mother, Elvira, who passed away last month at the age of 89, just a day before his birthday.
Despite his past financial difficulties, Becker also shared a snap of himself at a casino poker table, looking focused. The former world number one was declared bankrupt in 2017 after squandering an estimated £127 million fortune. He was jailed in April 2022 for hiding assets and loans to avoid paying creditors, who were owed almost £50 million.
Becker was found guilty of four Insolvency Act offences, including transferring £390,000 from his business account to others and failing to declare a share in a £1 million property in Germany. He served two and a half years in prison. His wife Lilian, a political risk manager, stood by him throughout the trial and sentencing, and the couple have since relocated to Milan.
