WWE Power Couple's Stunning Divorce: Charlotte Flair and Andrade Part Ways
The wrestling world is reeling from the unexpected news: Charlotte Flair and Andrade, once considered one of the industry's most glamorous couples, have officially divorced. TMZ Sports broke the story, revealing that court records show Flair filed for divorce in Florida back in June 2024, with the split finalized in October of the same year. The reasons behind the separation remain undisclosed, adding a layer of mystery to this high-profile breakup.
The Rise and Fall of a Wrestling Romance
Flair and Andrade's relationship blossomed into a whirlwind romance, beginning in 2019. Their engagement in 2020 was followed by a lavish wedding in Mexico in 2022, attended by wrestling royalty, including Flair's father, Ric Flair, and Rey Mysterio. The couple often shared affectionate moments on social media, projecting an image of unwavering love and support. Their union even extended to the ring, with Andrade notably teaming up with Ric Flair in his “Last Match”. Flair also publicly acknowledged Andrade's support during her recovery from a serious knee injury in 2024.
A Career-Focused Marriage
Their professional wrestling careers, however, largely remained separate. For a significant portion of their marriage, they competed for different companies. Andrade wrestled with AEW before returning to WWE at the 2024 Royal Rumble. This separation in their professional lives might have contributed to the distance between them, though it remains speculation.
The Aftermath: Separate Paths, Shared Legacy
The divorce announcement came as a surprise to many fans, who were unaware of any underlying tensions. The couple's consistently positive public image made the news particularly jarring. There were no public signs of trouble, with their last public pictures together being from a May 2024 trip to Paris.
Post-Divorce Careers
The unexpected divorce hasn't stalled either wrestler's career. Flair, fresh off her triumphant return at the 2025 Royal Rumble, where she won the Women's Royal Rumble match, has secured a spot at WrestleMania 41. Her victory marked a powerful comeback following a significant knee injury that sidelined her for over a year. Andrade, on the other hand, faces a more challenging path to WrestleMania 41 after his Rumble elimination. Despite the challenges, both superstars remain dedicated to their careers.
A New Chapter Begins
Flair's recent win at the Royal Rumble and her upcoming WrestleMania appearance highlight her resilience and determination. In an interview after her Royal Rumble victory, she expressed her emotions, stating, “I really don't want to break down...This was the longest I've been away from you guys and the fans since I started in 2012...When my knee injury happened, I just kept thinking, 'I can't go out this way.' Then it made me realize how far I've come, and I was doing it because of him.” Her words reflect both her professional drive and her personal strength in navigating this significant life change. While their love story has ended, both Charlotte Flair and Andrade continue to be major forces in the world of professional wrestling, their future paths diverging yet their legacies remaining intertwined in the annals of WWE history. The details surrounding their split remain private, but the impact of their divorce on the wrestling community and their fans is undeniable. Their story serves as a reminder that even the most seemingly perfect relationships can encounter unforeseen challenges, and that navigating such complexities requires strength, resilience and a focus on personal growth. Andrade's future endeavors and his professional wrestling journey remain to be seen, and the impact this event will have will surely linger.
