Boris Becker’s ex-wife Lilly stunned in sultry cover shoot for the German edition of Playboy Magazine on Tuesday.
The Dutch model, 49, who split from the tennis player in 2018, looked incredible in an off-the-shoulder semi-sheer lace bodysuit, before going completely nude in another shot.
Posing for the October issue, she styled her hair straight and opted for a smokey eye makeup to complete her look.
Lily, who moved from London to Düsseldorf this year with her 15-year-old son Amadeus, says the photos for Playboy mark the beginning of a new phase in her life.
‘I’m 49 now; I wouldn’t have wanted to do it in my fifties. The timing was just right. I thought, f**k it, I look good. I’ve worked hard and fought hard throughout my forties, and I just wanted to end it with a bang. From now on, I just want to enjoy myself – and Playboy is the perfect kickoff for everything that comes next,’ she explained.
When asked what made her strong, she added: ‘Life experience, I think. In my twenties, I was fucking crazy; I really let it all hang out (laughs). In your thirties, you become a little wiser, but you’re still learning, you’re still allowed to make mistakes and be naive.

‘The forties were my learning years. I left Boris, I took care of my child on my own, I was often blamed, and I lost all my naiveté. But I’m proud that I always kept my energy.’
In a photo shared to Playboy’s official Instagram, the magazine wrote: ‘We’re in love with Lilly ❤️ With her victory at this year’s RTL Jungle Camp, Lilly won the hearts of millions of TV viewers.
‘With her appearance in our new issue, she conquers everyone else. Why can’t you help but pass out Lilly Becker?
‘Show us her in the new Playboy! Lilly Becker is our new cover star of the October issue. Available online now and tomorrow at the kiosk.’
Lilly won the German version of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in February after stealing the hearts of the nation.
Boris endured a bitter divorce battle with Dutch model Lilly, who confirmed she had signed up for the show in January.
The couple were married for nine years and welcomed son Amadeus together, before confirming their split in May 2018.
Boris had been declared bankrupt the year before, owing creditors £50million, over an unpaid loan of more than £3million on his estate on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

The six-time grand slam champion was jailed in April 2022 for hiding £2.5million of assets and loans to avoid paying his debts.
Lilly will now enjoy her €100,000 prize money after beating fellow finalists Alessia Herren, 23, and Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss, 62.
Winning the Queen of the Jungle title, the model broke down crying and said: ‘Amadeus, we did it! I won!’
Lilly and Boris’ son celebrated his 15th birthday on the day of his mother’s victory.
The former tennis star served eight months of a two-and-a-half-year sentence before being extradited to Germany in time for Christmas 2022.
Boris went on to tie the knot with Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, 33, in Italy last year – marking his third time up the aisle.
He had previously been married to first wife, Barbara Feltus, from 1993 until 2001, after Boris admitted to having an affair while she was pregnant with their second child.
His two sons with Barbara, Noah, 30, and Elias, 25, were in attendance at his wedding to Liliam, however conspicuous by their absence were Amadeus and his daughter Anna Ermakova, 24.

Model Anna was born after Boris had a one-night stand with Russian model Angela in the broom cupboard of London’s Nobu while first wife Barbara was in labour with Elias.
Lilly later said Boris had purposely not invited Amadeus to his wedding, telling German magazine Bunte: ‘When I asked Amadeus about it, he was surprised. He didn’t know anything about it.
‘Of course he’s wondering why he wasn’t invited and that his father didn’t tell him anything about it.’
While she insisted that she wished her ex the best, she added that ‘behaving that way towards our son really is the last straw. Who doesn’t want him to come?’
