Experiencing highs and lows: Captivating and Painful Milestones of Lilly and Boris Becker in Photography - Highlights and Lowlights of Lilly and Boris Becker's Life Captured in Photographs
Love at first sight, indeed! When Boris Becker laid his eyes on Lilly Kerssenberg (then Sharlely Kerssenberg) in 2005, he knew she was the one. But Lilly wasn't ready to commit just yet. She made him wait a grueling three months.
Their relationship, from the start, was a rollercoaster. After only two years together, they took a three-month break. During this time, Boris found himself entangled in a brief, intense relationship with the daughter of his former manager, Sandy Meyer-Wölden.
The Proposal and Marriage
Things quickly settled down, though. In February 2009, Boris proposed to Lilly on the TV show "Wetten, dass...?" With their wedding following shortly in a romantic ceremony in Switzerland, and their son, Amadeus Becker, born in London in February 2010, it seemed like the Beckers were on their way to happy-ever-after.
However, their marriage was plagued by numerous crises. In May 2018, Boris and Lilly Becker officially announced their separation. The split was a hot topic in the media, with Lilly offering her ex no praises: "He's sweet, he's friendly, he's funny. But he's also arrogant. He's a liar." To cope with the fallout, Lilly turned to alcohol and drugs.
Today, Lilly emphasizes the importance of ensuring their son maintains a relationship with his father. "It's important to me that my son knows that he is his father," she said on the RTL show "Ich bin ein Star - Holt mich hier raus!" about her ex's new romantic interests.
