<\/p>\nLilly Becker has publicly accused her former husband Boris Becker of neglecting his financial duties towards their 16-year-old son Amadeus.<\/p>\n
The Dutch model claims the tennis legend has failed to meet court-mandated maintenance payments of \u00a38,000 monthly.<\/p>\n
Her partner, sports agent Thorsten Weck, has been forced to cover essential costs for the teenager.<\/p>\n
“My boyfriend has helped me out with those basics before, and it’s not even his duty. Aren’t you ashamed by that, Boris?” Lilly stated in comments to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

She expressed deep frustration that the six-time Grand Slam champion appears unwilling to fulfil his obligations despite his continued public profile.<\/p>\n
The accusations mark the latest chapter in an increasingly bitter dispute between the former couple.<\/p>\n
The couple wed in 2009 and welcomed Amadeus the following year before confirming their separation in 2018.<\/p>\n
Following the breakdown of their nine-year relationship, British family courts established the monthly maintenance arrangement.<\/p>\n
Lilly has since relocated with her son from their Wimbledon home to Germany, citing impossible financial pressures.<\/p>\n
“He’s a different size every six weeks. Thank God he doesn’t want designer gear; he’s not into logos. Amadeus is a British boy through and through, but the cost of living in England on a single income was too much for me,” she explained.<\/p>\n
The move was partly intended to bring the teenager closer to his German heritage and encourage more contact with his father.<\/p>\n

Becker served time in a British prison after being convicted of four offences under the Insolvency Act relating to his bankruptcy proceedings.<\/p>\n
Lilly contrasted her ex-husband’s reluctance to meet basic obligations with what she described as extravagant displays of generosity.<\/p>\n
“Let me tell you something about Boris. The last time I said to him, ‘He could do with some clothes’, he bought Amadeus a designer hoodie and took him and his school friend to a five-star resort in Dubai,” she revealed.<\/p>\n
“It shows how out of touch he is that he’ll make these grand gestures, but he won’t pay the money a court has ordered him to pay to cover the basics.”<\/p>\n
Since his release from prison in December 2022, the former world number one has remarried and started a new family.<\/p>\n
His wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, 22 years his junior, recently gave birth to their daughter Zoe.<\/p>\n
Lilly questioned why her ex-husband has found time for “expensive holidays” and social media posts celebrating his new life whilst allegedly neglecting his teenage son.<\/p>\n
The dispute escalated when Lilly attempted to have the existing British maintenance order recognised by German authorities last year.<\/p>\n

She anticipated a straightforward administrative process but was taken aback when her former husband contested the application.<\/p>\n
Becker ultimately lost his appeal against the German declaration of enforceability.<\/p>\n
“I was flabbergasted. He wasn’t being asked for anything extra. Our position is that this was simply the sum that had been agreed in 2018,” Lilly said.<\/p>\n
The former champion lodged a \u20ac26,000 security deposit as part of his legal challenge, funds Lilly noted could have gone towards supporting their son.<\/p>\n

Becker has now applied to modify the arrangement, seeking to slash payments from \u00a38,000 to roughly \u00a31,000 monthly.<\/p>\n
“When we were together, it was always Boris’s way. Now, I think he just wants to win,” Lilly observed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lilly Becker has publicly accused her former husband Boris Becker of neglecting his financial duties towards their 16-year-old…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,12384,457,82,593],"class_list":["post-663084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sgg","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
