"Winning Wimbledon is difficult. To be number one in the world is more difficult. Bringing three families with four children under one roof is the most difficult task of my life," said the six-time Grand Slam champion on the podcast Boris Becker - The Fifth Satz on Amazon Music.
Nevertheless, Becker did not complete family planning even at the age of 53. "I am convinced that there will be a third Mrs. Becker at some point," he said: "I hope that I will have children again with the future third Mrs. Becker." After his marriages to Barbara and Lilly, Becker is certain: "I cannot imagine that a new partner will be an influencer."
For his four children so far, Becker also wants to "stay fit and relevant, have a say, be asked", as he said: "They deserve it and maybe I deserve it too. For me, this is the elixir of life."
