Lilly Becker unpacks: childhood trauma and the love of grandparents

In the 2025 jungle camp, Lilly Becker talked about her dramatic childhood, which was marked by a terrible loss. Boris Becker's ex-wife, who is known as a tough comrade, opened up about the death of her parents, who died in a tragic car accident when she was just three years old. “My father is German,” she explained, but admitted that she knew little about him or his origins. These intimate insights left her fellow camper Alessia speechless, reports oe24.

A severe loss shapes childhood

Lilly Becker, whose real name is Sharlely, said that she was able to spend a good childhood with her grandparents. “They are the most important things in my life,” emphasized the 48-year-old, who would have been raised in an orphanage without their support. In her story, she conveyed the gratitude and love she has for her grandmother, who comforted and supported her in difficult times. "The love from a grandma is so special," Lilly said emotionally. She soaked up every memory and always felt accompanied by her grandmother's spirit, she explained. Her mother, who comes from Suriname, also had a decisive influence on her life, even if Lilly only heard stories about her, like the one in Focus reported.

In the emotional moment, Lilly also revealed that she has many memories of her father, even though she never got to meet him in person. “I look like my father, but I have my mother's personality,” she reflected on her heritage. Only through the stories of her grandparents and the memories she ultimately lost does part of her family remain alive. Lilly's story is a touching example of how the loss of loved ones, despite all the tragedy, shapes and shapes a person.
