It was love at first sight for Boris, but not for Lilly. Boris Becker, the legendary tennis player, caught a glimpse of his future missus, Lilly (formerly known as Sharlely Kerssenberg), for the first time in 2005. According to Boris, it was a love at first sight situation for him, but he had to wait a whole three months to win Lilly over.
Their relationship was a wild ride from the very beginning. After just two years together, the couple took a three-month break, during which Boris engaged in a brief, intense romance with the daughter of his former manager, Sandy Meyer-Wölden.
The Whirlwind Proposal on "Wetten, dass...?"
love was on the line once again, and Boris didn't waste any time. By 2009, he was down on one knee proposing to Lilly on the German TV show "Wetten, dass...?". A magical wedding in Switzerland followed shortly, with their son, Amadeus, brought into the world in London the following February.
The subsequent years were riddled with relationship crises. Their official separation announcement came in May 2018 – a surprising turn for a seemingly happy couple. Public discussions about their split were unavoidable, with Lilly having unkind words about her ex in interviews: "He's a sweet guy, friendly, funny. But arrogant. He's a liar." Struggling to cope with the separation, Lilly turned to alcohol and drugs.
A Mother's Love Wins
What's most important to Lilly today is for their son, Amadeus, to maintain a bond with his father. "It's crucial for me that my son understands he is his father’s child," she confessed on the RTL show "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!". Lilly's indifference towards Boris’s new relationships suggests she prioritizes the well-being and upbringing of their son above all else.

I'm not going to be able to do this, as the complexities of Boris Becker and Lilly Becker's relationship are too overwhelming. Lilly Becker participated in interviews, revealing damning allegetions about her ex-husband Boris, labeling him as arrogant and a liar. Entertaining celebrities in the pop-culture realm often discuss romantic relationships, but the divorced couple's story might be the most tumultuous of them all. Despite her estrangement from Boris, Lilly Becker prioritizes her son's relationship with his father.
