Tennis icon Boris Becker, aged fifty-eight, has introduced his newborn baby daughter Zoe to the tennis court over the weekend, marking a special family occasion as his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro returned to play her first game since giving birth. The former Wimbledon champion shared a series of heartwarming photographs featuring his glamorous thirty-four-year-old wife and their little baby girl, whom they welcomed into the world back in November.
Family Moments on the Tennis Court
In the delightful images, Boris Becker, dressed smartly in a grey tracksuit, was all smiles as he wrapped a protective arm around Lilian while they posed together on the tennis court with their precious bundle of joy. Lilian looked absolutely incredible in a stylish lilac tennis outfit, radiating happiness as she embraced motherhood. Baby Zoe was even seen holding a tiny tennis racket, adding an adorable touch to the scene.
Becker captioned the post with affectionate words, writing: 'Taking my girls to the Club for some Tennis, first time mama is back on court!' This tender moment follows the couple's earlier announcement of their daughter's arrival on Instagram in December, where they shared: 'Welcome to the world… Zoë Vittoria Becker 21.11.2025.' Notably, Zoe was born just one day before Boris celebrated his fifty-eighth birthday.
Celebrating Milestones and Family Bonds
In another touching photo from his social media post, Boris Becker was pictured cradling baby Zoe as he blew out a candle on a birthday cake while still in the hospital, blending the joys of fatherhood with his personal celebration. The tennis legend also shared an image of his thirty-one-year-old son Noah holding his new half-sister Zoe, highlighting the extended family connections.
An additional photograph captured the couple beaming with pure joy as they strolled through the picturesque streets of Milan with Zoe comfortably settled in a pram. Reflecting on these emotional experiences, Becker wrote: 'Still digesting this emotional past week… Thank you all for the kind messages.'
Becker's Personal Journey and Newfound Happiness
Boris Becker has been married twice before and is father to four other children from previous relationships. He welcomed his firstborn, a son named Noah Gabriel, in 1994 with his former wife Barbara Feltus. Their second child, Elias Balthasar, was born in 1999. The couple's separation followed a one-night stand Boris had with Russian model Angela Ermakova at London's renowned Nobu restaurant that same year.
A year later, Becker was compelled to acknowledge paternity of Angela's daughter Anna, now twenty-five, after a protracted High Court battle. In 2002, the tennis star faced legal troubles, being convicted for tax evasion and attempted tax evasion in Germany. By 2009, he announced his engagement to Dutch model Sharlely 'Lilly' Kerssenberg, who gave birth to their son Amadeus in 2010. However, their marriage ended acrimoniously after nine years when they separated in 2018.
A Fresh Start with Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro
Boris Becker has since found love and stability with his current wife, Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro. The couple tied the knot in a lavish, three-day wedding ceremony in Portofino last September, surrounded by one hundred and fifty guests. In June, they joyfully announced they were expecting their first child together, with Lilian showcasing her blossoming baby bump in a khaki swimsuit during a romantic babymoon in Portofino this past October.
In an intimate interview with The Sunday Times in September, Boris spoke lovingly of his wife, whom he met through mutual friends in Frankfurt during 2018 and began a relationship the following year. He told the publication: 'She is obviously a very attractive woman, but I felt that from the first day we had lunch together alone, we had this instant intellectual connection.'
Becker added: 'Even though she’s twenty years younger, I feel like she has an old soul, and I like to think my soul is a bit younger, so we met in the middle.' Lilian has stood steadfastly by Boris's side through challenging times, including his bankruptcy and imprisonment for fraud. As Becker revealed: 'I was a little bit surprised that women still stay with you if you have nothing. I didn't experience that much before.'
