Disgraced Boris Becker is thought to be engaged to his girlfriend who is 23 years his junior after a ‘secret proposal’.
German newspaper Bild reports that the money-hiding retired tennis player will be getting married for the third time.
Girlfriend Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, 33, a political risk manager from the African island of Sao Tome and Principe, has been with Becker for several years.
They moved to Milan together on his release from prison where he served eight months of his two-and-a-half year sentence for insolvency crimes.
German magazine Bunte reports Becker saying on his 2022 release: ‘Because of her love, I survived.’
‘YES, SHE is the great love of my life. And I hope I always stay with her.’
The wedding is expected to be within the year.
