"Enjoy together..."
Boris can even smile a little again. His fans wish him the best: "Enjoy together ...... life is too short not to enjoy," writes one of his followers. "There's nothing better than having someone you love by your side and being loved," was another comment. 

Becker no longer insolvent according to his lawyer
According to his lawyer, Becker has not been insolvent since April. The three-time Wimbledon winner was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in London at the end of April 2022 for concealing assets worth millions from his insolvency administrators. He was released early in December 2022 due to a special arrangement for foreign prisoners and was immediately deported to Germany.
