Her husband has been declared bankrupt and reportedly amassed a debt of around £54million.
And the strain of Boris Becker’s financial troubles was etched across his wife Lilly’s face as she stepped out of her brand new Mercedes 4X4 and went for a swanky lunch in Mayfair on Thursday afternoon.
Cutting a sleek figure, the 41-year-old, who shares son Amadeus with tennis champ Boris, slipped her lithe frame into a baggy black sweater, a leather skirt and slick tights.

She finished things off with a pair of chunky lace-up combat boots.
Clutching her phone to her body and seemingly chatting on it hands free, she wore her dark mane in buoyant curls, loosely around her shoulders and a slick of rouge on her pout.
She slung a black and red leather bag over one arm and wrapped a thick Chanel scarf around her in a blue/grey shade.
She was seen sitting down with her friend and talking animatedly to him about things, potentially discussing her husband’s current situation.

Tennis great Boris Becker is planning to sell his Wimbledon trophies and will auction four luxury watches after racking up millions of pounds in debts, it has been claimed.
The 49-year-old German is said to be hopeful of raising £1million alone by selling the cups he won in Britain’s showcase tennis tournament in the 1980s.
It comes after German media reports claimed he was in debt to the tune of £54million and is facing having his homes and personal property repossessed.

The three-times Wimbledon champion is believed to have reluctantly agreed to sell off his trophies having accepted ‘the time for sentimentality has passed’, according to The Sun.
A source close to him is quoted as saying: ‘Boris needed to find cash fast. Selling his precious Wimbledon trophies was deemed the quickest way.’
Last night German magazines Stern and Bunte claimed that a bankruptcy declaration in London three months ago was only the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of what Becker actually owes.
Bunte claims a court appointed insolvency administrator has found the mountain of debt built up by the tennis champion.
The magazine claims the firm of Smith & Williamson has produced a report detailing the parlous state of his finances.
It further reported that the auction house Wyles Hardy & Co. may now to be charged with estimating the value of his trophies and memorabilia. The auction house declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
Becker is thought to have been asked not to remove these pieces from his London house or from his mother’s house in Germany.

Meanwhile, the Sun has reported that Becker’s Swiss ex-business partner has gone to court demanding £31million.
The revelation comes just months after it emerged that Becker, who is married to wife Lilly, 41, had been declared bankrupt over a debt of £3.34million owed to a private bank.
Boris married first wife Barbara Feltus in December 1993, and their son Noah Gabriel, now 23, was born a month later.
Their second child, Elias Balthasar, now 17, was born on 4 September 1999.
On 15 January 2001, Becker was granted a divorce, with Barbara receiving a hefty $14.4 million settlement, their condominium on the exclusive Fisher island in Florida, and custody of Noah and Elias.
Becker and his current wife, Dutch model Lilly, 41, live in Wimbledon for part of the year but their main residence is said to be in Switzerland.
The twice-married father-of-four wed Lilly in Switzerland in 2009 and they had a son the following year.
