Boris Becker was accompanied by his girlfriend Lilian De Carvalho Monteiro as they stepped out during Milan Fashion Week on Thursday – amid claims the couple are engaged.
The former tennis player, 55, looked stylish in a light gray suit, while his partner, 32, showed off some leg in a black leather skirt.
She completed her chic look with a crisp white shirt, pink heels, a small Dior handbag and dark shades.
The public appearance comes after Boris’s prison term last year.
The three-time Wimbledon men’s singles champion served eight months of a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence for hiding £2.5 million in assets and loans in a bankruptcy fraud case.
