Sharlely "Lilly" Becker, Boris Becker's former wife, hit back in an article for Germany's Bild newspaper after Boris suggested that she isn't as intelligent as his first wife Barbara, with whom he has a 29 years old son called Noah, and with whom he seems to be collaborating better in managing relationships with his son.

Lilly and Boris have a 13 years old son named Amadeus. "It takes intelligent parents to find a way," Boris Becker said in an interview published on Mother's Day. Lilly Becker gave her response to the German Bild newspaper. "Boris seems to think he is more intelligent than everyone.

So I look forward to him soon fulfilling his obligations to his son," said Lilly, as also previously quoted by The Sun.

How did Lilly react after Becker was jailed

In 2022, Lilly Becker disclosed she anticipated her ex-husband Boris Becker to get a lighter sentence.

“I couldn’t believe what I was hearing because I was convinced until the judge made her verdict that he was going to get a little bit lighter,” Becker’s wife said on Talk TV’s “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” per The Sun.

"“I had to keep it together and I don’t know how I did it. 'Papa didn’t listen to the law and he’s on the naughty step.' He’s curious and I’ve told him we all make mistakes," Lilly revealed, when asked about how she told their son about the news. Photo credit: Uri Schanker/GC Images; BUNTE.de.
