Boris Becker Debuts Prison Memoir in Berlin as Ex-Wife Files Child-Support Claim

The memoir’s release has prompted a legal demand from his ex-wife over alleged unpaid child support.

Overview

  • Becker presented “Inside: Gewinnen – Verlieren – Neu beginnen” at Berlin’s Delphi Kino, appearing with his pregnant wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, son Noah, and other relatives.
  • The book, co-written with British journalist Tom Fordyce, recounts roughly 231 days in England’s Wandsworth and Huntercombe prisons and reflects his claim that incarceration changed him for the better.
  • In interviews tied to the launch, Becker alleges ex-wife Lilly blocked son Amadeus from calling him during his 2022 imprisonment, a claim her lawyer firmly denies and asks him to retract.
  • Lilly’s attorney says Becker owes €355,991.28 in child support since April 2022 under a prior £8,000-per-month order, noting a single €24,000 payment in July and setting a payment deadline for the end of September.
  • Becker underscores his rebuilt personal life, highlighting his 2024 marriage to Lilian, their residence in Milan, and their first child together due in December.
