Wimbledon 2019:  Joely Richardson leads stars on day four

Lily Becker avoided a nasty run-in with ex-husband Boris on Thursday, as the former couple led the star-studded arrivals for day four of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.

The model, 43, exuded elegance in a blue spotted jumpsuit as she arrived for another day at the SW19 grounds, with Boris arriving separately in a royal blue suit amid claims the couple are in the ‘final stages’ of their bitter divorce.

Boris’ outing came just a day after he made his first public appearance with new girlfriend British model Layla Powell, 31, four months after the couple were first spotted together.

Lily was putting on a stylish display in the chic blue printed midi dress as she stepped out in the blazing sunshine.

The German beauty went solo for the outing as she finished her tennis look with oversized brown sunglasses and nude espadrille wedges as she made a stylish arrival for the international tournament. 

Three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker looked dapper as he arrived, clad in a white striped shirt, paired with an electric blue suit and box fresh trainers.

The pundit slipped on a scarlet baseball cap as he strolled through a wave of tennis fans to centre court.

German site Bild reported Boris and British model Layla were in the restaurant until 2am when the couple were first pictured together, but his lawyer told the publication at the time he considers himself to be single. 

Among the pictures Boris liked, was a picture of Layla flashing her underwear, while wearing hotpants as she drapes herself across a chair.  

Boris also took a shine to a picture of Layla wearing leather trousers and high heels while she posed in the toilets of upmarket London member’s club Annabel’s. 

MailOnline contacted a spokesperson for Boris Becker for further comment at the time.

Could it be? British model Layla is twenty years Boris's junior, and Wimbledon marked the couple's first public appearance together. It was reported the couple were in a restaurant until 2am when they were first pictured together months earlier

Boris’ outing comes amid reports he is in the ‘final stages’ of divorcing Lilly after the couple announced their split last year.

In December, Lilly reflected on the past year after parting ways from her husband of nine years during an interview with Günther Jauch on Germany’s RTL.

The brunette admitted the couple will never rekindle their relationship. She insisted: ‘It’s really over between us. 2018 was the worst time of my 42 years. He so grossly disappointed me. What makes it so bad is that everything is happening in public now. But I married a public man, maybe it’s part of it.’ 

‘Unfortunately, [a reunion wouldn’t] not work anymore. Too much has happened. I do not want to, he does not, and that’s fine. It’s really over between us.

‘The most important thing is that the future of our son Amadeus is well arranged. It’s not about Boris or me. It concerns the joint custody. He can see his son whenever he wants. Amadeus loves his father, and he loves him.’

Boris and Lilly, who were married for nine years, confirmed their breakup via a German lawyer last year, in a statement given to Bild newspaper.

Lawyer Christian-Oliver Moser said: ‘The decision after a 13-year-long relationship and nine years of marriage wasn’t an easy one.’
