Boris Becker’s model daughter Anna Ermakova graduates from prestigious London university with a bachelor’s degree in art history

Becker’s model daughter Anna Ermakova isn’t just a pretty face.

I hear she has just graduated from the prestigious Courtauld Institute of Art, London, with a bachelor’s degree in art history.

Anna, 23, shared this celebratory photograph of her throwing her graduation mortarboard in the air after being honoured along with her classmates in a ceremony at the Barbican Centre.

The model, who bears a striking resemblance to her sports star father, was raised by her mother Angela Ermakova after being conceived with the tennis ace at the Mayfair branch of Japanese restaurant chain Nobu, allegedly in the broom cupboard.

In May, Anna lifted the glitterball trophy as she won Germany’s version of Strictly Come Dancing entitled Let’s Dance.

She describing the win as a pinch me moment over on her Instagram and Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse, who stars on both the German and UK version of the show, commented ‘You can be so proud of yourself and stay amazing as you are’.

Daughter to Russian model Angela, Anna was infamously conceived on the stairwell of the Nobu restaurant in Park Lane in 1999.

Boris initially refused to acknowledge paternity of his daughter before a DNA test later confirmed he was the father.

The former tennis player has said that his marriage to model Barbara Feltus was destroyed after she kept bringing up the fact that he’d fathered a child after the brief encounter at Nobu.

Boris extraordinarily lays part of the blame for his divorce on his wife, for her reaction to the news that he had conceived a child after the romp with Angela Ermakova in 1999.

Becker claims Barbara, the mother of his children Noah and Elias, initially said: ‘Well, I still love you and I still want to be with you and let’s somehow find a way.’ 

But he added: ‘For months nobody knew yet [about the baby]. But then every little thing we discussed, she came back with the joker card and said: ‘You shut the f*** up, because if the world knew what you had done, you are lost.’

‘I said, ‘You are right, but this is not the relationship I can live with. This is impossible. We need a break.’ ‘

Boris tells how on that fateful night he left his mother and pregnant wife alone in his hotel room to go out and celebrate the end of his playing career, after a defeat in the fourth round of Wimbledon. 

‘The first beer was opened right after the match,’ he recalled. ‘Then there was another beer. I wanted to go out with my coach, my physio and my [racket] stringer to celebrate.

‘I said to my wife, ‘Tomorrow I will be a husband and father but tonight, one last time, I want to be a tennis player.

‘My wife was p****d off. I then had a long discussion with my mother on the balcony . . . and the last thing she said to me was, ‘Boris, just don’t do anything stupid.’ ‘

Later that evening, though, he went to Nobu, met Angela, and had that encounter in a back room of the restaurant. Then he went back to ‘his boys’, paid the bill for dinner and went home to Munich.

Eight months later he received a fax from Ermakova saying she was pregnant. Becker initially denied paternity, but DNA tests proved that the child Anna (who had inherited his red hair) was indeed his, and he made a financial settlement with her mother — while also funding an expensive divorce from Barbara.

The former tennis player was freed from jail just before Christmas after serving eight months in a UK jail for a £2.5 million bankruptcy fraud.
