Barbara Becker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barbara Becker (born 1 November 1966) was the wife of Boris Becker, although they are now divorced. She is the daughter of teacher Ursula Feltus and photographer Harlan Ross Feltus (1939–2003); Harlan was an African-American.
Feltus became famous when she married tennis star Boris Becker. The couple have two sons, Noah Gabriel (born 18 January 1994) and Elias Balthasar (born 4 September 1999).
In late 1999, after being contacted by a woman claiming to be pregnant with Becker's child (which proved to be true), and Becker asking for a trial separation, Barbara took Noah and Elias to Miami, Florida, side-stepping her pre-nup, and setting up an international custody battle. The hearings were broadcast live back to Germany. Germans sided with Barbara as her lawyer (paid for by Becker) made 3-time Wimbledon champion look like a cad. A Munich court granted Becker a divorce in January 2001.
Barbara hopes to be active as a fashion designer.
