Boris Becker has welcomed a daughter with his wife with his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro who was born a day before Becker's birthday.
The tennis icon posted a picture on his Instagram of him and his wife holding the newborn's hand. She already has a name too with Zoë being born on 21st November.
He captioned the post: "Welcome to the world…Zoë Vittoria Becker 21.11.2025." The baby girl was born on Friday with Becker turning 58 just the day before on Thursday.
From prison to fatherhood again
His wife Lilian stood by him when he was jailed in April 2022 after being convicted of financial irregularities. He was convicted and then released in December of that year and the couple married in a ceremony in Portofino last September in front of 150 guests. They live in Milan after he was deported from the UK.
Becker met De Carvalho Monteiro through mutual friends in Frankfurt in 2018 and despite being 20 years her senior, they became an item the next year before marrying. He told the Sunday Times. "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.
"Even though she’s 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."
They announced they were expecting a child in June as she posted a baby bump in an olive green swimsuit. "We follow the light… Enjoying the last rays of sunshine. Happy Sunday!!!" he wrote on Instagram.
Becker has four older children including a 31-year-old son called Noah and Elias from his marriage to first wife Barbara. The couple divorced after he admitted cheating resulting in the birth of his daughter Anna. Boris and Barbara divorced in 2001 and he married former model harlely "Lilly" Kerssenberg having another son before divorcing in 2018.
