Boris Becker has already had two marriages. In total he has four children from three different women. But even at 56, he's not done yet. Apparently the invitations for his third wedding have now been sent out.
If you recently received an invitation to Boris Becker's upcoming wedding, hopefully you didn't throw it away in disbelief. Because: No, the news that the former Wimbledon winner wants to get married for a third time this year is probably not a fake. At least not if you trust the “Bild” newspaper, according to which the 56-year-old's marriage to Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro is a dead end.
The paper writes that Becker and his fiancée sent invitations to their wedding celebration in the fall to their closest friends and business partners. Other details that the “Bild” newspaper wants to know include that the wedding and the subsequent celebration will take place in Portofino, Italy. The party should last several days. Under the motto “Dolce Vita”, a kind of hen party and an elegant celebration are planned.
Portofino is a former fishing village on the Italian Riviera that has developed into a tourist magnet. Becker and de Carvalho Monteiro are said to have vacationed here last summer. They are also said to have recently celebrated the 33-year-old's birthday here.
Dating since 2020
There was initially no official confirmation of the wedding plans. Becker's lawyer also did not comment on the report when asked, writes the “Bild” newspaper. However, the former tennis professional revealed on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival in May that he and de Carvalho Monteiro were engaged. If the wedding bells actually ring for the two of them, it would only be logical.
Becker and the risk analyst from São Tomé and Príncipe have been in a relationship since 2020. Their relationship also survived when he was imprisoned in England in 2022 for his questionable financial behavior. The couple is currently said to be living together in Milan.
Before Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, Becker was married twice. His marriage to Barbara Feltus lasted from 1993 to 2001, with whom he had two sons. In 2009 he married Sharlely Kerssenberg, with whom he has another son. The couple separated in 2018, but the divorce was not finalized until 2023. Becker's fourth child, Anna Ermakova, comes from an extramarital affair. Ermakova was born in 2000 and has a rather ambivalent relationship with her father. Would she also appear at his wedding reception? Uncertain.
