Young people urged by Boris Becker to serve as a festive gift this Christmas season.
Boris Becker, the 57-year-old former tennis champion, and his wife, Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, are expecting their first child together. The couple, who got married last year in Portofino on the Italian Riviera, announced the pregnancy news nearly a year after their wedding.
Lilian, who is 23 years old, shared the news with a video showing her baby bump on Instagram on Sunday. The caption read, "A tiny miracle is on the way... The best is yet to come."
The pregnancy has been a challenge for Boris to keep secret due to his public figure status. However, he has confirmed that his wife is doing well. For Lilian, this will be her first child.
Boris Becker has four other children from his previous relationships. From his first marriage to Barbara Feltus, he has two sons: Noah (30 years old) and Elias (26 years old). He also has a daughter, Anna (23 years old), with Russian model Angela Ermakova. From his second marriage to Sharley Kerssenberg, he has a son named Amadeus, who is 15 years old.
The potential due date for the baby is either Christmas or mid-December. Boris's daughter Anna, who is a model, musician, and winner of "Let's Dance", has also expressed her excitement for the upcoming addition to the family.
Former tennis player Andrea Petkovic, Monica Seles, and Regina Halmich, both Grand Slam winner and former boxing champion respectively, have sent their best wishes for Lilian's upcoming birth. Boris Becker's office confirmed the pregnancy news to the German Press Agency.
