BROKE Boris Becker is facing even more financial misery after splitting from model wife Lilly.
Friends say their marriage has been under strain for a while and she may be considering a divorce.
Becker, 49, was declared bankrupt last week over a £3.34million debt and a costly divorce would push him deeper into the financial mire.
Lilly, 40, was putting on a brave face as she visited a hairdresser in London the day after the bankruptcy hearing.
But her friends say the marriage was in trouble before Becker was made bankrupt.

It is not known if Lilly, who has a seven-year-old son with the tennis star, has moved out of their London home, although sources say she has been spending more time in her native Germany.
When Becker was asked about his marriage at his home yesterday he said: “It’s too early in the day for me, go away.”
His spokesman said later: “We don’t comment on our clients’ private lives.”
Becker, who first won Wimbledon at 17, was once worth around £30million. But his fortune dwindled after a series of bad investments.
He also had to pay £2million to a Russian model he got pregnant after they had sex in a broom cupboard at a London restaurant.
