WWE superstar Charlotte Flair has made headlines once again, but this time it’s not just for her performances inside the ring. Following her victory at the recent Women’s Royal Rumble, Flair has quietly finalized her divorce from fellow wrestler Andrade, increasing interest from fans both for her personal life and the twists of WWE storylines.
Court documents obtained by TMZ Sports reveal the details surrounding this surprising turn of events. Flair, whose real name is Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr, filed for divorce from Andrade, whose real name is Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza, back in June 2024. The paperwork was officially signed off by a judge three months later, concluding their four-year marriage.
The couple began their relationship back in 2019, quickly becoming one of the power couples of wrestling. Their romance moved at lightning speed; just the following year, they announced their engagement. The culmination of their love was celebrated with an extravagant wedding ceremony held in Mexico in 2022, which reportedly had the blessing of Flair’s legendary father, Ric Flair. This prompted many fans to see them as the ultimate wrestling duo.
Despite their seemingly fairy-tale romance, the reality appears much less rosy as speculation surrounding the cause of their divorce has emerged. Court documents do not specify grounds for separation, leading to rampant rumors of infidelity, though these remain unconfirmed. Neither Flair nor Andrade has spoken publicly on the matter, leaving fans and observers to question what led to the breakdown of their relationship.
Flair’s ascent to the top of WWE also plays prominently in the narrative of her divorce. Just prior to finalizing the divorce, Flair achieved significant personal accolades, winning the Women’s Royal Rumble – making her the first woman to win this high-stakes event twice. Her triumph at the Royal Rumble not only solidified her standing as one of the best wrestlers of her generation but also secured her entry to the prestigious WrestleMania 41.
While Andrade seems to be adjusting to life post-marriage, having been eliminated from the Men’s Royal Rumble earlier this year, Flair will likely be the focus on Monday Night RAW, addressing her recent victory and setting her path for WrestleMania. The blend of personal upheaval with professional success adds another layer of intrigue to Flair's character and storyline.
Fans of the WWE are now engrossed not just by Charlotte's championship ambitions but also by the dramatic twists of her personal life. What's next for both her and Andrade? While Andrade may be focused on regaining his footing within the company, Flair is set to challenge the current Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, whose own interactions with Flair grow ever more intense.
This week’s events showcased thrills both inside the ring and out, with Charlotte eloquently balancing her professional aspirations against the backdrop of her recent marital issues. It poses the question, how will these changes affect her performance and storyline moving forward at WrestleMania?
The wrestling community is buzzing, eager to see the direction Flair takes as she navigates both her life and career. The anticipation only heightens with questions around her future and Andrade's potential rise back up the WWE ladder as both continue their journeys post-split. Will the transition lead Flair to new victories or challenges? Fans are left to wonder about the possibilities awaiting both stars as they carve their paths amid the spectacle of professional wrestling.
WWE remains now, more than ever, an artful blend of personal drama and athletic competition, with Flair’s personal life serving as yet another gripping tale within this storied promotion.
