Boris and Lilian have been together for several years after they moved to Milan together following his release from prison in 2022 where he served eight months of his two-and-a-half year sentence for insolvency crimes.
In February German newspaper Bild reported that the money-hiding retired tennis player will be getting married for the third time as they revealed the couple were engaged with the wedding expected to be within the year.
Speaking about his release from prison, Boris told German magazine Bunte: 'Because of her love, I survived. Yes, She is the great love of my life. And I hope I always stay with her.'
Lilian, who has three degrees and speaks five languages, comes from a family of successful people.
Her father was Sao Tome and Principe's defence minister and presidential candidate in 2014.
Boris and Lilian live in what Bunte calls a 'beautiful apartment' in 'the heart' of Milan - only a few years after going to prison for not paying his debts.
The former sportsman reportedly proposed to Monteiro at Milan's Cathedral back in 2021 - but any hope of a fairytale wedding was cut short by the impending prison sentence.
She was a constant presence by his side while attending court hearings and even blew him a goodbye kiss when he was jailed and blasted by a judge for showing no remorse.
A source told The Sun: 'Boris is incredibly grateful to Lilian for staying with him through 'the hardest time' of his life.

'He said, "she saved me, and I will never forget her for that. She is the woman of my new life!"'
This will be Boris's third marriage after he broke up with wife Lilly Becker in 2018 after nine years together.
Meanwhile his marriage to first wife, Barbara, lasted one year less. They married in 1993 and separated in 2001, after the then tennis-player admitted to having an affair whilst she was pregnant with their second child.
Boris was charged with insolvency crimes in 2022 after declaring himself bankrupt and hiding assets worth £2.5m.
He hid the money by not declaring his share in a huge £1m German property as well as £700,000 cash from a loan among other assets.
