Boris Becker’s Statements on His Blended Family
Tennis legend Boris Becker recently opened up about his blended family in an interview with the newspaper “Telegraph” on English Mother’s Day. Despite some praise for his first wife, Barbara Becker, his comments on his second wife, Sharlely Lilly Becker, left some readers feeling puzzled.
Becker stated that it takes intelligent parents to make things work in a blended family and praised Barbara for her intelligence. However, he made a not-so-flattering remark about Lilly, implying that she is not as intelligent as his first wife.
While some may have found this comment inappropriate, it is important to note that Becker was not trying to insult his current wife but rather expressing his admiration for his ex-wife.
Despite this explanation, Lilly Becker was understandably upset by the comments and took to social media to express her feelings. She posted a photo on Instagram with the caption “Intelligent enough to leave you,” sending a strong message to her husband and anyone else who may have doubted her intelligence.
These remarks illustrate the complexities that can arise in blended families and relationships. It also highlights the importance of treating all members with respect and avoiding making comparisons that can lead to hurt feelings.
Overall, it is clear that Becker values both of his wives and his blended family, but perhaps he should have been more careful with his choice of words. It is important to remember that comments made in public can have a lasting impact on those involved and their relationships.
