However, Charlotte Flair and Ric Flair’s personal lives have been much different than their professional lives. The wrestling champion had to face tremendous hardships when it came to her personal life, marriage, and relationships.
Let’s take a look at the personal controversies that the father-daughter duo were involved in:

WWE superstar Charlotte Flair came into prominence again and won millions of WWE fans' hearts as she went on to clinch the WWE Royal Rumble match in 2025, securing a spot at Wrestlemania 41.
After a year-long hiatus due to a knee injury, Charlotte made a triumphant return to WWE, showcasing her skills and dedication to wrestling.
No sooner did the news of her entry into WrestleMania 41 was announced, fans were left in shock after Charlotte Flair confirmed divorce from her husband Andrade El Idolo after two years of marriage.
The WWE stars ended their marriage in July 2024, with court records confirming that the divorce was finalized in October 2024. According to records, Charlotte Flair filed for divorce in Florida back in June 2024. However, a judge signed off on the split in October, making it official to her fans.

As per TMZ’s report, there are no official court records found mentioning the cause of Andrade and Flair's separation. However, there are speculations that adultery may have played a role in the sudden break, even though the official cause is still unknown.
Looking back on their relationship, the couple announced their relationship in 2019, leading to their engagement in 2020 and marriage in 2022. The wrestling duo tied the knot in a grand wedding in Mexico, in the presence of their loved ones and some wrestling legends.

Before her marriage with Andrade, Charlotte was involved with Thomas Latimer. The former wrestling couple got married in 2013, but two years after their marriage, the couple drifted apart in 2015.
Moreover, Flair’s ex-husband was also arrested on the charge of felony counts of domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment, which could be a reason for their divorce.

Besides Thomas Latimer, Charlotte Flair was also in a marriage for a very short time with Riki Paul Johnson. Riki Paul Johnson was Charlotte’s first husband. The former couple tied the knot in 2010 and eventually got controversially divorced in 2013.
The WWE Queen in her autobiography “Second Nature,” claimed that she had been a victim of domestic assault at the hands of Riki Paul Johnson, citing the reason for their failed marriage. However, Johnson dismissed the claims later made by the WWE Women's Champion.

Wrestling icon Ric Flair's journey through love and relationships has been filled with passion, challenges, and lessons. With five marriages and multiple relationships, his story reflects the ups and downs of his relationship.
Flair's most recent marriage was with Wendy Barlow, his fifth wife. They were together for 13 years, including six years as a married couple. On September 23, 2024, Flair announced his separation from Barlow.
