Barbara Becker Says She and Ex Boris Becker Are Friendly Neighbors in Milan

Their close homes in Milan have turned a once-public divorce into a cooperative patchwork family framed by gratitude.

Overview

  • Barbara Becker told German outlets that she and Boris Becker now have a warm, friendly relationship and see each other regularly.
  • She says the two live only about a ten-minute walk apart in Milan and sometimes run into one another by chance.
  • The pair married in 1993 and divorced in 2001 after a very public affair that produced a daughter; Boris has publicly admitted he cheated.
  • Both have since formed new families: Barbara moved to Milan in 2025 with partner Marcello Montini, and Boris lives in Milan with his third wife Lilian and their daughter Zoë, born November 2025.
  • Barbara credits 'gratitude' for the peaceful patchwork family, a shift that underlines how geographic proximity and pragmatic co-parenting can change long-running celebrity conflicts into cooperative ties.
