Flair — who made her return to the ring at the Royal Rumble on Saturday night — officially has divorced her husband, fellow WWE superstar Andrade.

The couple began dating in 2019 and got engaged in 2020. Flair and Andrade married in Mexico in May 2022.

Flair, real name Ashley Fliehr, had been out of action for more than a year prior to her return over the weekend. She had suffered torn knee ligaments during a match in December 2023, necessitating a lengthy rehab stint.

With Flair’s win in the women’s Royal Rumble match, she earned a championship match at Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas in April.

The 38-year-old is a 13-time WWE women’s champion, among other honours. She was previously married to Riki Johnson and Thomas Latimer.

Andrade, whose real name is Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza, returned to WWE at the 2024 Royal Rumble after spending more than two years with WWE competitor AEW.

His career trajectory has been in decline after initially being tipped for WWE stardom while leading its NXT brand in 2017-18.

He also teamed with Ric Flair during what was billed as “Ric Flair’s Last Match,” on July 31, 2022, which saw the 73-year-old icon nearly collapse in the ring.

Charlotte and Andrade most recently appeared together in an Instagram post in May, with the couple looking happy taking in tourist spots during a trip to Paris.
