Oliver Pocher and Sandy Meyer-Wölden welcomed a special guest to their podcast: Lilly Becker. The three discussed past turbulence – and Olli’s separation from Amira.
Oliver Pocher (45) and his ex-wife Sandy Meyer-Wölden (40) presented the new episode of their podcast “The Pochers! Freshly recycled” (Podimo) in a constellation that “no one would have thought possible” before, according to the comedian . And they themselves wouldn’t have thought it was possible for a long time. They welcomed Lilly Becker (47) – the ex-wife of Olli’s long-term opponent Boris Becker (56), who in turn was Sandy’s fiancé for a short time and who none of the three of them are particularly fond of. Not only was he the subject of the discussion, the trio’s initially rocky relationship and Oliver’s separation from his wife Amira (31) were also discussed. Lilly revealed what advice she gave Amira.
The episode was recorded as a video podcast in Cologne at the end of November. And that’s not all: Lilly Becker was also living in Olli’s house in Cologne these days with her son Amadeus (13) from her now divorced marriage to Becker. Just like Sandy, who visited him for a week from her adopted home of Miami with her three children with Oliver and the twin sons from her second marriage. So a full house.
“The fact that we are sitting here today is insane,” said Oliver Pocher, summing up the situation. Lilly agreed: “Our friendship really didn’t start well.” And to Sandy she said: “Never in my life did I think that we would now be good friends, like sisters.” Her son Amadeus is close friends with Sandy and Oliver’s twin sons (12). That and the fact that they now lived in his house was “the crowning glory” of their friendship.
Years ago, all of this seemed almost impossible because Oliver with Sandy on the one hand and Boris Becker with Lilly on the other had a sensational public exchange of blows, via Twitter (now X), via video messages, and even on their own RTL show in which Pocher (then already separated from Sandy) competed against Becker.

As a reminder: The three-time Wimbledon winner Becker surprised everyone with his quick engagement to Sandy Meyer-Wölden after his separation from girlfriend Lilly in 2008. However, the engagement only lasted about three months. Becker then got back together with Lilly and announced his engagement to her at the beginning of 2009 – in front of an audience of millions on “Wetten,dass…?”. In the same year Olli and Sandy became a couple.
“The Pochers” podcast: Spicy remark from Sandy causes murmurs in the room
Oliver teased: “It’s really an interesting story. When did you first meet or see each other? If you can’t remember, you were with one man.” Sandy parried directly: “Just say it. We hit on the same man. Probably sometimes at the same time, you don’t know.” A murmur went through the hall at her comment and Pocher also shouted loudly “Ooooooh!” out of. Sandy explained: “Of course it went back and forth. The story is well known – we didn’t really want to talk about it, but okay.”
And then she explained how her close friendship with Lilly came about. After they had never met in person for years, her manager insisted on meeting because he was sure they would get along well. When Sandy took part in the RTL dance show “Let’s Dance” in 2016, where Lilly had also appeared two years earlier, the two met on the sidelines of Sandy’s first show. “It really was love at first sight and we’ve been pretty inseparable ever since,” Sandy said.
Lilly Becker has forgotten her previous quarrel with Oliver Pocher: “I just love you like that”
As she pointed out, Lilly has long since forgotten her earlier taunts from Oliver and her. “I’m not afraid of Olli. I used to be, but I just love you so much,” she emphasized. “You are who you are. I didn’t know you before and I thought, who is this ass?” she reported bluntly. She wanted to protect her family. In the RTL show “Alle auf den Kleinen”, in which there was a “Showdown in 2013 ” came between Pocher and Becker, she met Olli in person for the first time.
At first she thought to herself, “Who is this little man?” she revealed with great laughter. She felt sorry for Olli because his heartbreak after his separation from Sandy was obvious; he was “emaciated.” She then realized that he was actually quite nice. “I forgave you straight away,” she remembered. “If people know you personally, you’re a really cool man. I really love you from the bottom of my heart because I know you privately.”
She said that he made fun of Becker and her, later about the controversial singer Michael Wendler and now about motivational coach Biyon Kattilathu (39). That was his job, she said. “You’re pretty good at it, it’s funny. (…) The people who know you personally, who know what you’re really like, even as a father. I don’t say husband,” she said again amid laughter.
Lilly Becker reveals what advice she gave Pocher’s wife Amira
And then Lilly Becker also revealed that she was still in contact with Pocher’s estranged wife Amira, with whom he has been in a public separation dispute for weeks. She stood up for Amira in the group: “I texted her, whatever happens, stay classy, stay cool.” She didn’t even want to know what exactly happened. “It’s thrown back and forth in the press, that’s actually not fair. I know what it’s like. Headline after headline.”
Lilly appealed to Olli: “You don’t have to forget: she is 31 and is the mother of your children.” Amira had to go through the public separation drama “a bit alone”. It is difficult for her. That’s why she “protects them a little.” “I love her, but I love you too,” she assured in English. Sandy agreed with Lilly that such a public separation was “not easy” for Amira. “We like Amira just as much as you,” she said to Olli, whereupon Olli protested, to the amusement of the audience: “I hope you like me a little more!”
For him, the good relationship with Lilly today is proof that public exchanges are always a form of entertainment. He wanted to show: “We can make fun of one or the other, but in the end we can sit together.”
Finally, Oliver Pocher has conciliatory words about the separation dispute with Amira
With a view to his wife Amira, Pocher then found conciliatory words: “I also hope that next year will be more relaxed. And that at some point we will get closer to each other again in some way. But that will be okay.” “A little time will have to pass” and then “everything will go back to normal.” However, for him it doesn’t have to be as many years as it took for Lilly and Sandy.
