Anna Ermakova: ready to step out of her father's shadow?

Anna Ermakova is known as a "daughter" – and just can't get rid of the stamp. As an illegitimate child of tennis legend Boris Becker (52) and the Russian model Angela Ermakova, her life was shaped by headlines from birth. She started taking care of herself early on. In the meantime, the red-haired curly head, which is celebrating its 20th birthday today, has become a bit calmer again. On Instagram, on the other hand, the Becker sprout is still causing a stir.

Anna Ermakova seems to have found herself. She has spent her entire life in the shadow of her father. Until she finally came into the spotlight in her teenage years of 14 in 2015 – as a model. As part of the Berlin Fashion Week, the Becker offspring strutted the catwalk. Just a hobby or is there potential for the future behind it? It's probably a bit of both. In 2016 Ermakova said to "kurier.at": "I want to advance my modeling career, but at the same time I'm interested in learning. I want to try to find a balance between the two."

She lets the world share in her life

The 20-year-old has not really appeared in the fashion industry since then. Here and there a couple of photo shoots or event appearances at her mother's side – that's it. Instead, she seems to have found an adequate platform in Instagram to present herself to the world the way she and who she really is – not just the daughter of …

Ermakova regularly presents snapshots of herself and her current life to her over 25,000 followers on the social media platform. What catches the eye: the celebrity daughter seems to have a particular weakness for figure-hugging clothing. Short dresses and skirts, skin-tight pants and over-the-knee boots as far as the eye can see. What does father Boris say about this? The 52-year-old, who cannot be seen in any of the photos, does not leave comments. Instead, he diligently presses the "Like" button.
