Biography of Barbara Becker

Barbara Becker, born Barbara Feltus on November 1, 1966, is a German-American designer, actress, and model. She was born in Heidelberg, Germany, to a German teacher named Ursula and a dark-skinned American photographer named Harlan Feltus. Although born in Heidelberg, Barbara spent most of her time living in Karlsruhe.

Relationship with Boris Becker

Barbara gained recognition when she began a relationship with former world tennis champion Boris Becker. A photograph taken by her father, featuring Barbara and Boris naked, became the cover of a magazine called "Stern." Barbara and Boris got together just a month before the birth of their first son, Noah, who was born on January 18, 1994. They later had a second son, Elias Baltazar, who was born on September 4, 1999.

Separation and Battle for Custody

In late 1999, Barbara discovered that Boris had fathered a child with another woman. Feeling deceived, she took Noah and Elias with her to Miami, Florida, in defiance of their prenuptial agreement, starting an international custody battle. Boris later admitted in his biography that he indeed had another child named Anna with the other woman. Their marriage ended in November 2000, after a candid conversation where they realized they no longer shared common goals or intimacy. Boris described their encounter as a physical confrontation, with Barbara becoming aggressive and attacking him. Their son Noah stood between them, acting as an arbiter, which Boris found distressing.

Relationship with Anna Ermakova and Divorce

There were reports of Boris having a romance with Russian immigrant Anna Ermakova, which resulted in the conception of their daughter in the restroom of the upscale London restaurant "Nobu." The divorce proceedings were televised in Germany, and Boris was granted the divorce in January 2001, paying Barbara a settlement of ten million pounds and giving her his Fisher Island apartment.

Marriage and Divorce from Arne Quinze

On January 6, 2009, Barbara announced her engagement to artist Arne Quinze. They got married on September 9, 2009, in their Miami home, and had a celebratory event in Berlin on September 13. However, their relationship ended in divorce in 2011.
