Former tennis player and professional commentator Boris Becker<\/a> has welcomed a daughter with wife Lilian de Carvalho.<\/p>\n

Sharing the news via Instagram<\/a> today, the tennis ace posted a snap of himself and Lilian holding the newborn’s hand.<\/p>\n

‘Welcome to the world\u2026Zo\u00eb Vittoria Becker 21.11.2025,’ he wrote, also revealing the infant’s name.<\/p>\n

Little Zo\u00eb was born on Friday – the day before Boris’s own 58th birthday.<\/p>\n

Boris and Lilian tied the knot in 2020, before they announced news of Lilian’s pregnancy in June this year.<\/p>\n

‘We follow the light\u2026 Enjoying the last rays of sunshine \u2600\ufe0fHappy Sunday!!!’ Boris said, as he shared a snap of Lilian with a blossoming baby bump.<\/p>\n

Former champion tennis player Boris was only 17 when he won the gentlemen\u2019s singles Wimbledon Championships title in 1985.<\/p>\n

He went on to claim 64 titles during his prolific career, including six Grand Slam singles titles: three Wimbledon Championships, two Australian Opens and one US Open.<\/p>\n

The birth of Zo\u00eb marks his fifth child, after first welcoming son Noah Gabriel with then-wife Barbara Feltus in 1993, and Elias Balthasar in 1999.<\/p>\n

Boris later fathered daughter Anna in a one-night-stand which reportedly put paid to his marriage with Barbara.<\/p>\n

In 2010, Boris welcomed his youngest son, Amadeus, to second wife Lilly Kerssenberg, before they separated in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He met future wife Lilian that same year, hitting it off after initially meeting through friends.<\/p>\n

He told The Sunday Times<\/a>: She is obviously a very attractive woman, but I felt that from the first day we had lunch together alone, we had this instant intellectual connection.<\/p>\n

‘Even though she\u2019s 20 years younger, I feel like she has an old soul, and I like to think my soul is a bit younger, so we met in the middle.’<\/p>\n

The pair were subsequently married in a lavish ceremony in 2024, and announced her pregnancy less than a year later.<\/p>\n

Lilian stood by Boris’ side when he was jailed for hiding \u00a32.5 million worth of assets and loans<\/a> to avoid paying debts.<\/p>\n

At the time, he told The Times: ‘I was a little bit surprised that women still stay with you if you have nothing. I didn\u2019t experience that much before.’<\/p>\n

He was released early on 15 December 2022 after serving eight months, and deported to Germany by UK authorities.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ex-wife Lilly revealed how Boris once hid horses from tax inspectors<\/a> inside his \u00a39million Majorca mansion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018The guy tries to go into the master bedroom, but Boris had hid the horses,\u2019 Lily said in the ITVX documentary Becker: The Rise & Fall.<\/p>\n

‘You have to pay taxes on them, and he hadn\u2019t. You see the funny side of the story because you walk into the bedroom and there\u2019s a horse. <\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m sorry, that\u2019s funny,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
