After 13 years together, Ric Flair and Wendy Barlow have decided to go their separate ways. The 75-year-old WWE Hall of Famer took to social media to confirm the split with his 64-year-old partner, stating that they have "respectfully" ended their relationship. Despite facing their fair share of ups and downs like any other couple, the two have ultimately chosen to part ways due to their demanding work schedules.
In his heartfelt statement, Ric expressed his gratitude for the 13 wonderful years he shared with Wendy. He also shared that it was important for everyone to know that they have decided to end their relationship amicably. The renowned wrestler, who has been recognized by WWE as a 16-time world champion, thanked his former wife for standing by his side during his health crisis in 2017. Wendy was a pillar of support for him during that difficult time, as he underwent surgery and was put into a medically induced coma.
Ric and Wendy got married in 2018, and it was a joyous occasion for them both. However, their love story was not without its challenges. In 2022, they briefly separated, but eventually reconciled. Unfortunately, this time, the split seems to be final. Ric explained that their busy schedules make it difficult for them to make things work, but they both wish each other the best in their future endeavors.
It's interesting to note that Wendy and Ric's paths first crossed about 40 years ago when they were both working for World Championship Wrestling. She even played his valet, Fifi, at some events, and the two eventually started dating decades later. This was Ric's fifth marriage, having previously been married to Leslie Goodman, Elizabeth Harrell, Tiffany VanDemark, and Jaqueline Beems.
Ric's illustrious wrestling career spanned several decades, making him a household name in the industry. He even caught the attention of Hollywood star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who is now producing a film based on Ric's flamboyant life. In a post on social media, Dwayne shared that he has known Ric since he was eight years old when his father, Rocky "Soulman" Johnson, used to wrestle with him in the NWA. The project is personal for Dwayne, and he is excited to tell Ric's incredible story with the help of Seven Bucks Productions and Kevin Mischer Films.
