Ric Flair and Wendy Barlow have separated.
Wendy Barlow’s history with Ric Flair goes back decades, beginning in WCW when she portrayed the character of a maid named Fifi alongside Flair in WCW. The two didn’t begin a romantic relationship until years later, however, and were engaged to be married in 2016.
While they never legally married, the couple held a commitment ceremony in 2018, and Flair has referred to Barlow as his wife. Back in January of 2022, Flair announced that he and Barlow had separated, but the couple reconciled later that year.
