Boris Becker and his wife Lilian have been photographed for the first time since announcing they are expecting their first child together. The couple were seen in good spirits as they stepped out in Milan on Thursday, with the tennis legend, 57, looking dapper in a lilac shirt and blue jeans, while Lilian, 35, wore a sophisticated pinstripe suit.
The pregnancy announcement came on Sunday, when Becker posted a video on Instagram of Lilian cradling her baby bump with the caption: 'A tiny miracle is on the way...The best is yet to come.' The couple married in September 2024 in Portofino, Italy, in a ceremony that Becker's youngest children, Anna, 23, and Amadeus, 15, did not attend.
Becker already has four children from previous relationships. His first son, Noah Gabriel, now 30, was born in 1994 with his wife Barbara Feltus, followed by Elias Balthasar in 1999. The couple separated after Becker had a one-night stand with Russian model Angela Ermakova in 1999, which resulted in the birth of his daughter Anna.
In his 2023 documentary, Becker recounted the night of the encounter, saying he left his pregnant wife and mother in his hotel room to celebrate his Wimbledon exit. He later received a fax from Ermakova saying she was pregnant. Becker initially denied paternity but DNA tests proved he was the father, leading to a financial settlement and divorce from Barbara.
Becker currently lives in Milan with Lilian, who concealed her baby bump under her outfit during the outing. The couple's happy news comes less than a year after their wedding.
