Tennis Legend Boris Becker Expands Family
Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has become a father for the fifth time, welcoming a baby girl with his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro. The sporting icon announced the joyful news on Instagram, revealing their daughter Zoe Vittoria Becker was born on Friday, 21st November 2025, just one day before Becker celebrated his 58th birthday.
A Special Announcement
Becker shared the happy development with his followers on Saturday, 22nd November, posting an adorable photograph capturing the couple cradling their newborn's tiny hand. The six-time Grand Slam champion simply captioned the image: "Welcome to the world ... Zoe Vittoria Becker 21.11.2025." This marks the first child for Becker and his 34-year-old wife Lilian.
The couple, who reside together in Milan, Italy, had previously announced they were expecting back in June. Their journey to parenthood was documented with affection on social media, including a romantic "babymoon" retreat to Portofino in October, where they had celebrated their wedding the previous year.
Becker's Growing Family Tree
Little Zoe joins a large and blended family. Boris Becker is already a father to four other children from previous relationships. He shares two sons - Noah, 31, and Elias, 26 - with his first wife, designer Barbara Feltus, 59. He also has a daughter, Anna, 25, with model Angela Ermakova, 57, and a younger son, Amadeus, 15, with his second wife, model Lilly Kerssenberg, 49.
The German tennis star's personal life has seen significant happy developments in recent years. He and Lilian exchanged vows in September 2024 during an extravagant, three-day wedding celebration in Portofino, Italy, surrounded by 150 guests. The pair first met through mutual acquaintances in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2018 and began their relationship the following year.
In a recent interview with the Sunday Times, Becker effused about his wife, revealing they shared an "instant intellectual connection" from their first lunch alone. He noted that despite their age difference, "she has an old soul, and I like to think my soul is a bit younger, so we met in the middle." The arrival of baby Zoe Vittoria marks a beautiful new chapter for the Beckers, blending their family just over a year after saying 'I do'.
