Noah admitted that he often felt as though cameras were always watching him, and their presence triggered feelings of panic.
During Boris Becker's tennis heyday, journalists and photographers frequently waited outside his Miami home, leading to Noah being photographed regularly without any escape.
Now an artist, Noah lives between Berlin and Los Angeles, where his girlfriend, Brittany Fouche, resides.
Boris Becker, Noah's father, rose to prominence as the youngest Wimbledon champion in history, winning the tournament in 1985 at the age of 17. He later went on to claim the Wimbledon title two more times, as well as two Australian Open titles and one US Open title. In total, Becker secured 49 ATP titles during his illustrious career.
