Boris Becker has served up a shock by announcing his engagement to model Lilly Kerssenberg - just seven months after he asked Sandy Meyer-Woelden to marry him!
The tennis ace (41) and his new love (32) revealed they were engaged and talked about their plans for marriage and children when they appeared on German TV show ‘Wetten, dass…?’
Boris and Lilly - who are enjoying their second serve at love - reunited recently only a couple of months after Boris split from the 25-year-old model.
“I know lots of people won’t understand me – but we're only human! We now want to get married and are both really happy,” the three-times Wimbledon champion said.

Boris Becker's ex quiet on reasons for split Sandy Meyer-Wolden is "disappointed and hurt"
By Annette Pawlu and Herbert Jung
Sandy Meyer-Wolden has revealed she is "disappointed and hurt" after her shock split from fiance tennis legend Boris Becker after just 83 days.
The sexy model and jewellery designer (25) surprised even her closest friends when the relationship ended, but Sandy was not giving much away about the reasons behind the split from Boris (40).
“I did everything for this relationship. I am disappointed and hurt,” the beautiful blonde told BILD. “I don’t want to say too much about it at this moment and I ask for people to understand that.”
What was really responsible for the break-up?
Boris named the 15-year age gap and the jetset lifestyle as reasons when he spoke to BILD yesterday. But some of the guests the couple invited to their opulent engagement party in Munich - where ‘for my great love’ was inscribed on the cake in German - believe there are other reasons why the two decided to go their separate ways.
“They suited each other as a couple,” said football legend Andi Brehme (47). “It’s a shame it’s over. I gave them a bottle of red wine as an engagement present – I hope they drank it!”
Elvira Netzer (57), the wife of ex-football star Gunter Netzer, said: “They hadn’t lived together for long enough – and only realised this too late.”
Hockey star Stefan Blochner (48) added: “Sandy was funny and really very nice. But it was unfortunately just a beautiful summer romance.”
Someone who was definitely not convinced that it was ever true love between Sandy and Boris is the father of Sandy’s ex, Peter Haas. Sandy had a relationship with his son, tennis professional Tommy Haas, between 1999 and 2003. In 2006 the pair gave it another shot – to no avail.
Peter said: “The whole relationship never made sense. More unbelievable than the fact that it ended is the fact that it ever started.”

Tennis legend blames daily life and age gap Boris Becker splits from fiancee Sandy Meyer-Wolden
By Rolf H. Hauschild
The most talked-about romance of the summer is over after just 83 days, as tennis legend Borish Becker told BILD he had split up from beautiful fiancee Sandy Meyer-Wolden.
Love was in the air while the sun was out, but it seems that winter brought nothing but doom to the future together of Becker (40) and 25-year-old Sandy. They had been planning to get married and have kids, but Boris cited the pressures of daily life and the 15-year age gap as being too much for the couple.
It was only ten days ago that the happy pair were enjoying an Alicia Keys concert in Munich. But Boris turned up alone at the Sports’ Ball in Frankfurt on Saturday, where he was given a life achievement award.
Why did the flames of love go out so soon?
Boris told BILD: “Sandy and I split up at the weekend. We really tried and we wanted to get married next year, but sadly it just wasn’t working. There was no third person involved; we just couldn’t both get on on a day-to-day basis. Maybe the 15-year age difference was actually too much.”
The star couple lived a jetset lifestyle – they travelled between Munich, London, New York and Zurich. But while the lively young Sandy was getting more and more work as a model, Boris was at the age when he was starting to take it a bit easier.
And now it’s all over! It began in such a romantic way. Boris had known Sandy since her childhood, as she is the daughter of his former manager Axel Meyer-Wolden who died in 1997 from liver cancer. Love blossomed this summer between the old friends - they were often seen in public staring into each other’s eyes, holding hands and on August 10 Boris surprised Sandy with a €150,000 engagement ring whilst they were having dinner in Sardinia.
Boris and Sandy were a dream couple. The three-time Wimbledon champion always said: “If I find the right person, I’ll marry them... I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone.”
Looks like he’s alone again…
There to comfort him was ex-girlfriend Sharlely ‘Lilly’ Kerssenberg (30) whom he recently met up with in London. The two are now just friends and she just provided her ex with some advice and a shoulder to cry on.
