Boris Becker has addressed claims he was unfaithful to his first wife, Barbara Feltus, while she was in labour, insisting that although she was hospitalised, she was not experiencing contractions at the time.
Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, the former Wimbledon champion said: "There were no contractions. She was in hospital, but there was no contractions. No." He went on to admit he had been unfaithful, stating: "I cheated on her, no doubt about that."
Becker, who was married to Feltus from 1993 to 2001, described their relationship as being built on respect despite the circumstances of their divorce. He claimed that, as the "bad guy", he paid a financial price, saying: "She got a nice cheque out of it. She got a nice monthly support out of it."
He also praised Feltus as "a wonderful mother" to their two sons, noting she moved to Milan this year. Reflecting on their long-term relationship, he said: "25 years later, we really consider each other a close knit family, regardless of what happened."
