Accompanied by his current partner, <strong>Lillian de Carvalho Monteiro<\/strong>, Becker was sentenced to prison by <strong>Southwark Crown Court judge Deborah Taylor<\/strong>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/tennis\">tennis<\/a> great will serve a 30-month sentence for not paying his debts and stowing away assets of \u00a32.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>Lilly dwelled on her once-intense love story with her husband on the talk show. She openly refused to grant Becker a divorce as it was not the right time. The bereaved model revealed that the tennis veteran was doing well in prison and was mentally prepared, but his loved ones were naturally concerned about his well-being. When asked if she loved her estranged spouse, Lilly replied in the affirmative.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6w03LK-lDLM?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Becker has made headlines for being in trouble before this occasion. The 54-year-old former world number one was <strong>found guilty of tax evasion of around \u00a31.4 million in Germany in 2002<\/strong>. He was awarded a two-year sentence, which was suspended afterward. By Lilly\u2019s admission, life with the six-time Grand Slam winner was controversial.<\/p>\n<p>Becker was declared bankrupt in 2017. In addition to having an unpaid debt of over \u00a33 million on his Majorca estate in Spain, <strong>Becker owed almost \u00a350 million to his creditors and had transferred approximately \u00a3390,000 to several others<\/strong> including his then-wife Lilly Becker and ex-wife <strong>Barbara Feltus<\/strong>, from his business account. Later, the tennis star was found guilty of four offenses under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/1986\/45\/contents\">Insolvency Act<\/a> in April 2022. The offenses took place between June 21 and October 3, 2017.<\/p>\n<h2>Not Ready To Reveal Truth To 12 Year Old Son<\/h2>\n<p>Lilly Becker further revealed that she had told the couple\u2019s son <strong>Amadeus<\/strong> about his father\u2019s arrest on 1 May, carefully omitting any details about the court proceedings.
