Boris Becker Expecting Fourth Child

DPA/Landov

Less than two months after their posh wedding in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Wimbledon legend Boris Becker and his second wife, Sharlely ‘Lilly’ Kerssenberg, 33, are expecting a baby.

Boris, who has two sons with ex-wife Barbara Feltus, and a daughter from a brief affair, confirmed the happy news to the German newspaper Bild. “Yes, we’re going to be parents,” he said. “We are really looking forward to our baby.”

On June 12, the tennis star, 42, and his wife tied the knot in the Bergkappelle, or mountain chapel, in St. Moritz, 6,562 feet above sea level. Lilly was walked down the aisle by her 80-year-old grandmother, Esseline Kerssenberg-Bradley. Boris’ best man was his friend Luis Garcia Fanjul, a Mexican businessman.

Her grandmother walked her down the aisle. How sweet!

Given away by grandma? I LOVE that!

Well, Boris definitely seems to have a type. :) Congratulations to them.

So cute with her grandma walking her down the aisle! She’s beautiful, that baby’ll be a stunner. I love the style of her dress minus the sleeves, it reminds me of Leisel’s dress in The Sound Of Music!

I was just going to say that. I actually read an article that basically said all his girlfriends have looked like his ex-wife.

Does anyone know his older kids’ names and ages (I love hearing celeb kids’ names!)? Anyway, that’s too sweet that her grandmother walked her down the aisle! :)

His eldest son is NOAH Gabriel (15), then comes ELIAS Balthasar (9) – all with his ex-wife Barbara, on whom he cheated while she was heavily pregnant with the second son and as a result there is also ANNA (9) with this fling…
Funny enough he denied the fatherhood of this little girl for quite a while but Anna is actually ths spitting image of him although the mother is black.

By the way – her grandmother walked her down the aisle as Lily grew up under her care as there are no parents anymore.

Elli- Thanks! :)

I’m happy for them. I’m sure they’ll be great parents.

Oh, and Erica, his type appears to be “beautiful” women! And Elli, the mother of his look-a-like daughter is “mulatto”, so that fact would make little Anna a “QUADROON” (like Carly Simon,Wentworth Miller,Carol Channing,Nahla Aubry, Honor Warren & her 2 older brothers, as well as her new sibling), which is why she appears to be mostly caucasion, because geneticly that is what she is.
