16-time world champion Ric Flair issued a statement on social media announcing the split from his wife Wendy Barlow after 13 years.

The duo separated once before in 2022 but they eventually got back together a few months later.

“As with every couple, we have experienced our ups and downs. I think it’s important for everyone to know right now that we have decided to part ways respectfully,” Flair wrote. “I’ll never ever be able to thank her enough for standing by my side through my terrible health crisis in 2017. She never left my side! And for that I will always be grateful!”

Flair said that both of them are currently working on different projects and it became difficult with the conflicting schedules to make it work.

“I wish her the best of luck with her projects, and I know that she supports mine,” Flair wrote.
