Tennis legend Boris Becker is celebrating his second Christmas in freedom after spending time in prison in the UK. He shows himself full of enthusiasm in his girlfriend Lilian’s homeland at her family’s side. Even dad is on board – and has to see Boris’s talent for movement.
A little over a year ago, Boris Becker was allowed to take his first breaths of freedom. Shortly before Christmas, the British authorities pardoned him thanks to a special program for foreigners, released him on parole and at the same time deported him directly to his homeland. The visibly purified Becker’s course through various talk shows followed. There was a lot of speculation about royally paid performances. Becker actually seemed purified, almost ascetic.
Now – a year later – he seems to have fully gotten used to freedom again. This time he is spending Christmas in the home of his partner Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro – on São Tomé and Príncipe, an island just a few hundred kilometers off the west coast of Africa.
And he seems to be doing well. In an Instagram post, in two of the five pictures shared, Becker is casually lounging in a boat and sailing across a river – or being sailed. In the pictures he shows himself in a tennis-appropriate T-shirt and tennis socks – sometimes black, sometimes white. “Visiting Lilian’s family in #saotomeandprincipe over the holidays. Merry Christmas Ragazzi!” Becker writes in his post.
The Christmas season seems to be all about family. Just a few days ago, Becker posted a picture with his sons Noah and Elias, as well as one with his mother Elvira. “It’s important to go back to your roots sometimes,” he writes to the picture with the sons. The picture with the mother he describes it as a “Christmas reunion with Elvira.” If you look closely, you can see that the picture with the mother was taken on a tennis court with an ash surface. Boris shows his best side at Christmas: tennis, family, idyll.
On São Tomé and Príncipe, Boris also meets Lillian’s father Victor Monteiro, the country’s former defense minister. In one video, Boris even shows himself dancing to Afro-Caribbean rhythms. Lilian throws her hands in front of her face, laughing. Her father also witnesses the performance. At least Boris took off his tennis shorts for this performance. In his stories, Boris lets his followers share the delicacies he eats in the island state. His second Christmas in freedom is apparently very conciliatory and familial.
