Tennis ace Boris Becker divorcing for a second time following split from wife of nine years
BORIS BECKER and wife and Lilly have announced they have divorced after nine years of marriage.
The two exclusively told Bild about their divorce, having been together for 13 years all-in-all.
Despite the break-up, lawyer Christian-Oliver Moser claimed it was a “mutual and friendly” split between Boris, 50, and Dutch model Lilly, 41.
Moser stated: “This decision was not an easy one for Mr and Ms Becker after 13 years in a relationship and over nine years of marriage.
“The most important thing for both clients is the well-being of their son Amadeus.”
Becker met the Dutch model in 2005 in Miami before the pair were wed in the summer of 2009 in Switzerland.
The couple welcomed son Amadeus to the world in February 2010, but were both spotted out and about on Tuesday without their wedding rings.
Boris has two other sons – Noah, 24 and Elias, 18 – from his previous marriage with 51-year-old Barbara Becker.

The ex-tennis star also has an 18-year-old daughter, Anna, with Russian model Angela Ermakova.
According to local media, Boris and Lilly had been seen spending less time together prior to the divorce as rumours about their relationship being in trouble swirled.
This is the second divorce for the German-born former No1 player who has a residence in Wimbledon.
He divorced his American ex-wife Barbara in 2001 in a multi-million-pound settlement.
Last year he was declared bankrupt because he owed an undisclosed amount of money to a private bank.
Lately, he made headlines when German hippy guru squatter Georg Berres and his community moved in to Becker’s villa in Majorca.
