Barbara Becker (born November 1, 1966 as Barbara Feltus) is a German-American designer, actress and model.

Early life

Barbara Becker was born to an African American photographer, Harlan Feltus, and a German teacher, Ursula. She was born in Heidelberg and lived in Karlsruhe for a long time.

Personal life

Barbara Becker became famous when she began dating Boris Becker. Harlan took the picture of a nude Boris and Barbara for the cover of Stern. They married a month before their son, Noah, was born on 18 January 1994. Their second child, son Elias Balthasar, was born on 4 September 1999.

In late 1999, after being contacted by a woman claiming to be pregnant with Becker's child, Barbara took Noah and Elias to Miami, Florida, side-stepping her prenuptial agreement, and setting up an international custody battle. In his autobiography, Boris admitted that he had had a one night stand with another woman that resulted in the birth of his daughter Anna, this while Barbara was pregnant with their second child. He wrote that the couple had a physical altercation when he flew to Florida to discuss the break-up of their marriage.[1] The court hearings were broadcast live in Germany. A Munich court granted Becker a divorce in January 2001.

On 6 January 2009, Barbara and artist Arne Quinze announced their engagement.[2] They married on 9 September 2009 at their home in Miami, Florida. They celebrated the wedding on 13 September 2009 in Berlin, Germany.[3] They divorced in 2011.[4]
