Boris Becker's estranged wife has said she is still married to the tennis star and refuses to divorce him - three years after reports the pair had split.
Dutch model Lilly Becker, 45, said she 'completely broke down' as Boris was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail on Friday and 'couldn't believe' what she was hearing.
She also told TalkTV's Piers Morgan Uncensored that she is still married to Boris, despite reports indicating the couple had divorced in May 2018.
'I'm very much still his wife,' Lilly said. 'Estranged wife as that may be but we're still very much married and have been since we went our separate ways.
'It was from the beginning intense and a complete, true love story. Everyone who knows us knows this. It's not that I don't want to get a divorce. We should handle our business at the right time.'
When asked whether she still loves Boris, she replied: 'Of course I do.'
Boris Becker had arrived at Southwark Crown Court on April 29 with current partner and political risk analyst Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, who started dating the three-time Wimbledon champion in 2020.
