BERLIN — Former German tennis star Boris Becker and his wife, Lilly, have separated.
The German news agency dpa reported Tuesday that a Berlin lawyer for the two confirmed the breakup of three-time Wimbledon winner Becker, 50, and his Dutch model wife, 41.
Lawyer Christian-Oliver Moser told dpa “the decision after a 13-year-long relationship and nine years of marriage wasn’t an easy one.”
Moser said the couple’s main concern now was the well-being of their son, Amadeus, and that the separation was “amicable.”
In recent years, Becker mainly made headlines with rumors about his financial problems.
