Boris Becker recently shed light on the chapter when he first met Lilian Carvalho Monteiro. Speaking in a recent podcast, the former German player revealed that he met with his now-wife, Lilian, back in 2018 during one of his friend's birthday parties in Frankfurt.

Additionally, Becker also mentioned that he found Lilian quite interesting after this meeting, and he began visiting the latter in Frankfurt more often following it. Becker said (via High Performance podcast, 1:35:22 onwards):

"We met a while ago in 2018 by accident. An Italian friend of mine in Frankfurt he had a birthday; he turned 50. His name is Michaela, and she was his friend as well, so when I spotted her for the first time and I knew then she was friends with Michaela and then his wife." "You know, in 2018, I was in trouble, I was insolvent, I was not in a good state at all, so I met her and I thought she was interesting and I ended up going back to Frankfurt every couple of weeks."

During the podcast, Boris Becker also revealed that Lilian Carvalho Monteiro refused to meet him alone initially, and they would meet only when their common friend was present among them.
