In his second autobiography, , Boris opened up about his fling with Russian waitress Angela Ermakova, which resulted in the birth of his third child, a daughter named Anna, in 2000.
"I was in this family drama because there is no doubt that I was the [expletive] in the whole affair. I had betrayed my pregnant wife, fathered a child and hid the truth," he wrote in his book.
In 2010, Boris welcomed his fourth child, a son named Amadeus Benedict Edley Luis Becker, with his second wife Lilly.
Where are Boris' children now?
While Amadeus is now a teenager and is likely in secondary school education, his older half-siblings have followed in their father's footsteps with careers in the limelight.
Noah, 30, is a director and producer, who was behind the camera for Lenny Kravitz's 2019 music video for the song, '5 More Days 'Til Summer'. He also works as an artist and often shares images of his work on Instagram.

Boris' second son, Elias, has also carved out a career in the spotlight and works as a model. The 24-year-old was first signed by a modelling agency at the age of 18 and booked his first job with Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week. He's posed for shoots in Tatler and InStyle, and in March last year walked the runway at the BOSS fashion show.
During a 2021 interview with Tatler, Elias shared his career aspirations, revealing that he's considered going into fashion design. "I want to work as hard as I can," he said. "I don't really get tired, so I want to devote my time and myself to my craft."
An avid DJ, Elias also shared his thoughts about a music career. "I'd want to talk about music when I'm ready to release it, rather than put that pressure on myself," he said.
Elias isn't the only sibling with hopes of a career in the music industry. Anna, Boris' only daughter, launched her pop career in January with the release of her debut single, 'Behind Blue Eyes'.
Taking to Instagram to celebrate the song's release, the London-born model penned: "If you know me you know how important music is and has always been to me (low-key live in my headphones), but I always felt too nervous & shy to sing in front of ppl (friends & family you guys rlly know) so today we are starting 2024 CONQUERING THESE FEARS & making childhood dreams come true. Making little Anna who always felt misunderstood very proud today."
Anna, 23, who graduated from the Courtauld Institute of Art, London with a degree in art history, also won Germany's version of , titled , in May last year.
The model, who was paired with dance partner Valentin Lusin, told the show's presenter: "I came from England to Germany in order to dance. I never thought I’d be welcomed with such open arms."
