Ric Flair and Wendy Barlow Split After 13 Years Together

Legendary professional wrestler Ric Flair announced on social media Monday that he and his wife, Wendy Barlow, are separating after 13 years together and six years of marriage.

“Wendy And I Enjoyed 13 Great Years. As With Every Couple, We Have Experienced Our Ups And Downs. I Think It’s Important For Everyone To Know Right Now That We Have Decided To Part Ways Respectfully,” Flair wrote, in his customary style of capitalizing every word.

“I’ll Never Ever Be Able To Thank Her Enough For Standing By My Side Through My Terrible Health Crisis In 2017. She Never Left My Side! And For That I Will Always Be Grateful! We Both Are Working On Different Projects At The Current Time & It Becomes Difficult With My Schedule & Her Schedule To Make This Work. I Wish Her The Best Of Luck With Her Projects, And I Know That She Supports Mine!”

Flair, now 75, had been married four prior times before he and Barlow wed in 2018.

This news comes as a surprise, as Flair and Barlow previously announced a split in 2022 but ultimately reconciled.

Flair is a 16-time world champion across the NWA, WCW, and WWE and is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

Barlow and Flair met while working together in WCW in 1993.
