Charlotte Flair emotionally breaks silence on Andrade divorce

After news hit that WWE Superstars Charlotte Flair and Andrade were getting a divorce, the 2025 Royal Rumble winner recently opened up about it.

She spoke to Sherri Shepherd about the decision. It occurred while Flair was recovering from her torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus injuries suffered in 2023. She called her current comeback the “biggest” of her career.

“I didn’t,” Flair responded when asked how she “handled” it all during her rehab process. “I felt like I was failing at my job, I felt like I was in my personal life, and the embarrassment of being divorced again and being compared to my father [Ric Flair].

“When I made the decision to file for divorce, the only thing I kept thinking was I didn’t want anyone to know. Like, Oh my gosh, I have failed again. And then my knee and I think as women— I think men, too—but everyone’s probably thinking, She’s gonna come back a year older, she’s gonna come back less than, she’s coming back off this knee injury. And, unfortunately, the WWE audience hasn’t gotten to see the comeback of Charlotte Flair,” she continued.

Ultimately, Flair knows fans are going to form opinions on the private matter. And now, she is in the middle of a “redemption story” since her comeback at the Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025.

What she learned was that it is “okay not to be okay,” as they say in We Live in Time. She had to confront the news head-on since it hit after her Royal Rumble win. “Boom. Everything hits. Everything that I had been scared of hit that day, and I was like, The fight’s over. I have nothing to fight. This is me, this is who I am; I’m standing in my worth,” she said.
