Wrestling legend Rico Flair and his wife, Wendy Barloware ending their marriage… after the two tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony six years ago.
The 75-year-old released a statement on Monday via Instagram saying he enjoyed being with Wendy, but after their ups and downs, it was best for them to go their separate ways.
“I think it’s important for everyone to know now that we have decided to respectfully part ways,” Flair said.
“I will never be able to thank her enough for standing by my side during my terrible health crisis in 2017. She never left my side! And for that, I will always be grateful.”

Wendy and the WWE Hall of Famer briefly split once before — in 2022 — but reconciled a few months later.
“We’re both working on different projects right now and it’s hard with my schedule and her schedule to make it work,” Flair said of the split this week. “I wish her the best of luck with her projects and I know she supports mine.”
The marriage to Barlow was Flair’s fifth — he had previously been married Leslie Good Man, Elizabeth Harrell, Tiffany Van Demark and Jacqueline Beems before exchanging vows with Wendy in 2018.
Flair has four children — two with Goodman and two with Harrell.
