Boris Becker attends Boss show in Milan with pregnant wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro
The former tennis star and his partner, who is expecting their first child together, sit front row at Boss’ Spring/Summer 2026 collection in Milan.
Boris Becker, 57, looked dapper in a dusty pink three-piece suit as he joined his pregnant wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, 34, at Boss’ Spring/Summer 2026 Womenswear show in Milan on Thursday. He wore a crisp white shirt with an open collar and finished the look with casual white trainers as the couple posed on the front row ahead of the star-studded presentation.
Lilian, meanwhile, showcased her blossoming bump in a taupe satin shirt and wide-leg trousers. Her ensemble was layered with a rust-orange suede trench coat, and she added height with black heels. Accessories included orange-tinted shades, a blue-and-grey striped tie, and pearl stud earrings, while she carried a mini black handbag. The couple announced they are expecting their first child together in June, and they appeared in high spirits as they settled into the front-row seats.
Becker, who currently lives in Milan with Lilian, has four children from previous relationships. He welcomed his first son, Noah Gabriel, in 1994 with Barbara Feltus. Their second child, Elias Balthasar, followed in 1999. The pair’s marriage dissolved after Becker’s affair with Russian model Angela Ermakova, and Barbara Feltus and Becker finalized their divorce in 2001 after a £10 million settlement. Becker’s second marriage to Dutch former model Lily Kerssenberg ended acrimoniously in 2018 after nine years together. Since then, he has found love again with Lilian, and the couple wed in Portofino last September in a ceremony attended by about 150 guests.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Becker spoke fondly of Lilian, describing their connection as an instant intellectual bond despite a 20-year age difference. He noted that Lilian stood by him through difficult times, including bankruptcy, and urged a broader perspective on late-life partnerships. Becker’s past financial trouble has been well documented; he was declared bankrupt in 2017 with debts tied to an unpaid loan on a Mallorca estate. After years of court proceedings, a High Court judge lifted the suspension on his bankruptcy in April 2024, effectively ending the bankruptcy order.
Becker has also served time for hiding £2.5 million worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts. He was imprisoned at HMP Wandsworth and at the Huntercombe Prison near Henley-on-Thames and was released in December 2022 before being deported to Germany. His financial and legal saga has been long-running, but the most recent developments show him rebuilding his life alongside Lilian. The front-row moment at Boss added a notable chapter to Becker’s ongoing public reinvention as he prepares to welcome a new member to his family.
David Beckham, 50, another high-profile figure linked to Boss, also made a show-stopping entrance in a brown velvet blazer and tailored trousers as he joined the front row for the Milan event. Beckham serves as an ambassador for the luxury brand, underscoring the brand’s reach within the celebrity fashion circuit as Becker’s own Milanese chapter continues to unfold.
