Boris Becker<\/a> has welcomed a daughter with his wife<\/a> Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro.<\/p>\n

The tennis icon posted a snap on Instagram of him and his wife holding the newborn<\/a>‘s tiny hand. He captioned the post: “Welcome to the world\u2026Zo\u00eb Vittoria Becker 21.11.2025.”<\/p>\n

The baby girl was born on Friday, just a day before Boris’s 58th birthday.<\/p>\n

Boris’ wife Lilian stood by him when he was jailed in April 2022 after being convicted<\/a> of financial irregularities.<\/p>\n

He was released in December of that year<\/a> and the couple married in a lavish ceremony in Portofino last September in front of 150 guests. They now live in Milan.<\/p>\n

Boris met with his third wife Lilian through mutual friends in Frankfurt in 2018 and they became an item the next year. He told a Sunday Times interviewer: “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.<\/p>\n

“Even though she\u2019s 20 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.”<\/p>\n

The pair announced they were expecting a child in June, as Lilian posed in an olive green swimsuit, showing off her baby bump.<\/p>\n

Sharing the images on Instagram, Boris wrote the caption: “We follow the light\u2026 Enjoying the last rays of sunshine. Happy Sunday!!!”<\/p>\n

Boris has four older children, including sons Noah Gabriel, 31, and Elias Balthasar, 26, from his marriage to first wife Barbara Feltus.<\/p>\n

The couple famously divorced after Boris admitted to cheating with Russian model Angela Ermakova in an encounter in London’s Nobu restaurant, also in 1999, resulting in the birth of his daughter Anna.<\/p>\n

Boris and Barbara officially divorced in 2001 after finalising a \u00a310million settlement.<\/p>\n

He went on to marry Dutch former model Sharlely “Lilly” Kerssenberg in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in 2009. They had a son, Amadeus, in 2010 before divorcing on bad terms in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boris Becker has welcomed a daughter with his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro.
