With tears in his eyes, tennis legend Boris Becker, 41, announced that he and
his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Sharlely "Lilly" Kerssenberg, 30, will
marry on June 12. "We've been together for nearly four years and had our ups
and downs. ... Last summer I lost my way, but she took me back again," said
Becker, on the German TV show Wetten, dass...?, referring to his three-month
engagement to Alessandra "Sandy" Meyer-Woelden, 25, a jewelry designer and
daughter of his late manager, Axel Meyer-Woelden. Wetten, dass...? host
Thomas Gottschalk, a friend of Becker's, joked on the live show, "No, not
again?" before wishing the pair all the best. Becker then invited him to the
wedding. Becker and the Dutch Kerssenberg, a sometime model, plan to wed in
St. Moritz, Switzerland, the swank ski resort town where in January they had
first confirmed that they were together again. Kerssenberg told Gottschalk
that Boris's ex-wife, Barbara Becker, 42, is very happy for them, and
revealed that Barbara and her fiancé, Arne Quinze, 37, an artist from
Belgium, may have something more in common with them: "They're getting
married on the same day!" (However, Barbara Becker and Arne Quinze were not
on the show to confirm.)
