The couple captioned their post: “A little miracle is on the way… the best is yet to come.”
In the touching video, Lilian is seen cradling her belly as the soothing tones of the gospel song ‘Total Praise’ play softly in the background.
The video also offers a glimpse of her displaying her baby bump in a bathroom mirror.
Alongside the video, several professional photographs were shared.
Becker and his 35-year-old partner exchanged vows last September in Portofino, Italy, and they currently reside in Milan.
The former tennis champion and the risk analyst have been a couple since 2019.
They are now excitedly looking forward to welcoming their first child together.
In a recent conversation with Stern Magazine, Becker reflected on his relationship with Lilian, stating: “This is likely the first partnership where we are genuinely equal.
“Neither of us is more important; I rely on Lilian, and I hope she feels the same about me.”
“We met during a time when I was at a very low point.
At that moment, I felt lost both professionally and personally, yet Lilian was still interested in me.
“That was incredible because she saw me as a person when I had nothing to give – I had never met a woman like her before.”
This announcement comes three years after Becker was released from prison, where he served an eight-month sentence for insolvency-related offenses after declaring bankruptcy.
Becker already has four children from three previous relationships.
He initially married Barbara Feltus in 1993, welcoming their son Noah in 1994 and daughter Elias in 1999.
The couple separated in December 2000.
The following year, Becker acknowledged his paternity of Anna, born to Russian model Angela Ermakova after a High Court legal dispute.
Seven years later, he got engaged to Dutch model Sharlely “Lily” Kerssenberg, marrying her in 2009.
The pair welcomed a son, Amadeus, in 2010 but separated in May 2018.
