Kerssenberg told German magazine Bunte her son was surprised to hear of his father’s marriage.
“When I asked Amadeus about it, he was surprised. He didn’t know anything about it,” she said.
“Of course he’s wondering why he wasn’t invited and that his father didn’t tell him anything about it. He’s not a child anymore. He’s 14!”

“Behaving that way towards our son really is the last straw. Who doesn’t want him to come?”
She reportedly found out about the wedding via media. The model and media personality recently won the German equivalent of Dancing With The Stars,
“I came from England to Germany in order to dance. I never thought I’d be welcomed with such open arms,” she said.
Ermakova told the broadcaster RTL that rather than professional dancing, she would “prefer to go in the direction of show business. I love to perform and to make people happy.”
Becker initially denied he was Ermakova’s father until a DNA test proved he was. The sordid details of the tennis player’s sexual encounter with her mother was detailed in the two-part documentary Boom! Boom! The World vs Boris Becker.
