How Boris Becker and Lilian Found Love
Boris Becker and Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro met in 2022 when Becker was going through very difficult times. They started dating while Becker was facing serious legal problems.
In 2022, Becker was sent to prison for hiding money and assets during his bankruptcy case. He was sentenced to two and a half years but served only eight months. During this difficult time, Monteiro stood by him and supported him.
Monteiro is from São Tomé and Príncipe, a small island nation in Africa with only 200,000 people. Her father, Victor Monteiro, used to be their country’s defense minister. She was born in Rome, Italy, in 1990. Monteiro is multilingual and speaks five languages. She studied African Studies and works as a political risk manager.
The couple got married in September 2024 in a beautiful ceremony in Portofino, Italy. They had 150 guests at their wedding, with the program lasting three days, and many famous people present to celebrate with them. This is Becker’s third marriage after his previous marriages to Barbara Feltus and Lilly Kerssenberg.

Becker has said that going through tough times together strengthened their relationship. During his prison time, he learned who his real friends were, and Monteiro was the most important person who stayed with him.
The couple now lives in Italy and often visits Monteiro’s family in São Tomé and Príncipe.
