Boris Becker, 57, cuts a suave figure as he steps out with his glamorous new wife Lilian de Carvalho, 34, at Madrid’s Laureus World Sports Awards

Boris Becker and Lilian de Carvalho looked as loved-up as ever as they attended the 2025 Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid on Monday night.

The former tennis champion, 57, cut a suave figure as he enjoyed a date night with his glamorous new wife Lilian, 34, at the Palacio de Cibeles.

Boris looked dapper in a sharp black three-piece suit and a spotted tie, which he styled with smart black boots.

He posed arm-in-arm with Lilian as they put on a cosy display just months after tying the knot in September 2024.

Lilian showed off her incredible figure in a completely sheer black dress with glitzy gold detailing, which she wore over a slip dress.

The political risk manager added a few extra inches to her frame with a pair of strapped heels and toted her essentials in a black clutch bag.

Lilian added a pop of colour with a statement pair of square red and gold earrings and accentuated her features with a smokey-eye make-up palette.

The couple led the arrivals at the annual awards, which has been running since 1999 and honours the biggest sports achievements of the year.

This year’s honorees saw Simone Biles and Armand Duplantis named as the World Sportswoman and World Sportsman of the year respectively.

Surfing champion Kelly Slater received the Lifetime Achievement award while tennis pro Rafael Nadal was awarded the Sporting Icon gong.

Boris’ outing at the ceremony comes after he tied the knot with Lilian in a romantic ceremony in Italian celebrity holiday H๏τspot Portofino.

Lilian, who was born on the African island of São Tomé and Príncipe, wore three outfits for the occasion.

Her old school friend, designer Andra Ravieli, designed the elegant strapless gown which she walked down the aisle in.

German tennis star Boris, tying the knot for the third time, looked suave in a cream tuxedo as he said ‘I do’ in front of their 100 guests.

Discussing their lavish nuptials, Boris told Hello! Magazine it was a ‘magical weekend’ and they chose Portofino as their destination after spending many happy weekends there together.

He said: ‘Everyone cried, including me… the location where we had the ceremony is, I think, one of the most unique places I have been in my life – and trust me, I have been to a lot of beautiful places!’  

Boris, who has six Grand Slam тιтles, joined by his two sons, Noah, 30, and Elias, 25, from his first marriage to Barbara Feltus as they acted as his joint best men.

Boris’ daughter Anna Ermakova – who he shares with his ex Angela Ermakova – was not at the wedding and there have since been rumours of a falling out between them.

His other daughter Amadeus, 14, who he shares with his second wife Lilly Becker, was not present at the wedding either.

Guests included former Dutch footballer Ruud Gullit and German actor and model Boris Kodjoe. 

Boris and Lilian, who live in Italy and first started dating in 2019, shared the news with their Instagram followers just hours after the ceremony. 

The celebration was extra momentous for Boris after he was released from British prison in December 2022 following eight months behind bars for bankruptcy fraud.

Lilian, who is 23 years his junior, stood by Boris through thick and thin after he was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison in the UK.

He was found to have hidden £2.5million of ᴀssets and loans in a bankruptcy fraud case and served eight months.

Boris said he believes his time behind bars made their relationship stronger, sharing: ‘As they say in wedding ceremonies, in good and in bad days, you have to find a way to stick together.

‘We certainly had very difficult days, because my personal situation was very challenging, but that’s really when I got to know my true friends and my partner for life.

‘Sometimes you need to be tested to find out who your true friends are, or your partner, and it happened for me. And I realised who was with me and who was not with me. Lilian was number one.’

Boris said married life already feels ‘wonderful,’ and the highlight of his big day was the chance to finally ‘call Lilian his wife’.
