Following their temporary separation, things moved quickly for Boris and Lilly. In 2009, Boris proposed to Lilly in the popular German television show "Wetten, dass...?," and they wed in a romantic ceremony in Switzerland shortly thereafter. Their son, Amadeus Becker, was born in London the following year.
For a time, it seemed as if they had found their happily ever after. But tragic events were just around the corner.
- Marital Crises and Divorce
The marriage was plagued with ups and downs over the years. Gossip columns reports of separations and reconciliations followed them for years, culminating in the official announcement of their divorce in May 2018. The split was widely discussed in the media, with Lilly describing Boris as arrogant and a liar in interviews. The divorce was a difficult time for Lilly, and she turned to alcohol and drugs to cope.
- Healing and Moving On
Lilly emphasizes the importance of maintaining a relationship between her and Boris for the sake of their son, Amadeus. "It's essential that my son knows who his father is," she shared in the RTL show "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!" She expressed no interest in Boris's new girlfriends, focusing on her family's healing and moving forward.
