Ric Flair announces end of relationship with Wendy Barlow

Ric Flair has announced the end of his relationship with his longtime partner Wendy Barlow.

“After Taking Some Time Apart, Wendy And I Have Decided To Go Our Separate Ways,” the 72-year-old Flair announced on Monday. “Please Respect Our Privacy & Our Families During This Time! I Will Love & Cherish All Of Our Memories Together Forever, And I Will Forever Be Thankful For All She Has Done To Make My Life Better!”

Flair and Barlow worked together in WCW, where Barlow portrayed the character of a French maid named Fifi. Their relationship began later in life, with Flair and Barlow getting engaged in 2016. The couple had a wedding ceremony in 2018.

Prior to his relationship with Barlow, Flair was married four times.

Barlow was with Flair during his life-threatening health scare in 2017.

Flair departed WWE in August of last year. He made appearances for both Lucha Libre AAA and the NWA after getting his WWE release. In September, Flair issued two statements denying a sexual assault allegation from Vice TV’s “Plane Ride From Hell” episode of Dark Side of the Ring.

Flair launched his “Wooooo Nation Uncensored” podcast with co-host Mark Madden last November.
