Charlotte Flair is finally breaking her silence on her split from Andradeand the emotional toll it took behind the scenes.
The 14-time WWE Womens Champion filed for divorce from Andrade last summer, officially ending their two-year marriage. The couple first got together in 2019 and tied the knot in May 2022. But while the breakup has been public knowledge for months, Flair just now revealed that she kept it hiddeneven from her own father.
In a raw interview with the New York Post, Flair admitted she didnt tell Ric Flair because she feared what might happen if he did. I didnt want my dad to know because I love my dad but he shares things that I dont want to be shared, she said. And then my dad released that he had just gone through a divorce, so I was like, Oh my God, hes divorced, Im divorced. Im gonna be the laughingstock of the wrestling community.
Flair also revealed that the divorce hit during a difficult time when she was already dealing with a serious injury. The combo of personal and physical pain left her feeling isolated and mentally drained. There were times I did not want to get out of bed, she admitted.
Despite the silence, Flair is now owning her story and opening up on her own termssharing the heartbreak, the pressure, and the fear of being judged by fans and peers alike.
Do you think Charlotte made the right call by keeping her divorce private? Or should she have leaned on her father for support? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
