It's a love-love match! Boris Becker's wife Lilly bonds with ex Barbara on joint holiday, before flaunting her bikini body in the pool

Christmas may be a time of goodwill and letting bygones be bygones, but the ladies in Boris Becker's life appear to have taken it a little literally.
His current wife Sharlely 'Lilly' Kerssenberg and ex spouse Barbara Feltus nattered away like old friends during a joint festive break in Miami, Florida.
The two ladies were seen dining over a champagne lunch as the tennis ace took a backseat to let them gossip; with affectionate Lilly even placing a hand on Barbara's shoulder.
Mummy duties: Despite bonding with Barbara, Lilly was looking after Amadeus for most of the afternoon
Keeping trim: Running after her young son certainly keeps Lilly in fabulous shape
She also seemed to wipe away a tear, or perhaps an eyelash, brushing her hand over Barbara's cheek as Boris' former flame raised her sunglasses to perch on her head.
Lilly, 35, is currently enjoying her winter vacation with her sporting husband and young son Amadeus.

The leggy brunette was not only looking after her 22-month-old, but also playing stepmother to Boris and Barbara's children Noah, 17, and 12-year-old Elias.
It may seem like an unusual set-up, but the modern family remain close despite the Wimbledon champion splitting from Barbara, 44, in 2001, after eight years of marriage.
Friends: Boris Becker's wife Lilly and his ex-wife Barbara spent the afternoon together in Miami
Affectionate: Lilly seems to be wiping away a tear or removing an eyelash from Barbara
How bohemian! Despite both having been married to Boris, the ladies got along like old friends
Their divorce reportedly cost him £10million; including their £1.8m apartment on Florida's Fisher Island, several hundred thousand pounds worth of jewels and £4,000 a month in child maintenance.
She wed new husband, artist Arne Quinze, in 2009 - the same year as Becker and Kerssenberg tied the knot in St Moritz, Switzerland - but divorced him in October.
For the sake of the kids? Lilly and Barbara seemed to shower more attention on each other than Boris

As well as having time-out for a relaxing spot of lunch, Lilly played with fair-haired Amadeus in the Setai hotel pool, with Boris joining them and pulling a series of silly faces.
She showed off her enviable figure in a skimpy bikini patterned with neutral tones and orange ties, and kept the heat off her head with a protective but fashionable trilby.

She later covered up in a zig-zag kaftan while talking on the phone as Elias looked a little bored while sipping from a straw.
Not that he didn't have something to smile about later - getting coaching tips from a professional.

The group were joined by Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit, who relished showing off his fancy footwork during a private lesson on the beach to Elias.
Boris also has a daughter Anna, 10, following a brief liaison with model Angela Ermakova, but neither of them appeared to be on the holiday.
