The Latest Split: Unpacking the Charlotte Flair and Andrade El Idolo Divorce (2022–2024)
The marriage between Charlotte Flair and Mexican wrestling star Manuel Andrade Oropeza, known as Andrade El Idolo, was seen as a powerhouse union in the wrestling industry. The couple began dating in 2019, announced their engagement in January 2020, and celebrated a beautiful wedding in May 2022 in Andrade’s hometown of Torreón, Mexico.
The Finalization and Public Confirmation
Despite the public display of affection and their shared profession, rumors of trouble began to surface in 2024. The divorce proceedings were kept relatively quiet, with the separation finalized in October 2024, just over two years after their wedding.
The news, however, became official and public at the beginning of 2025, drawing significant attention from fans and wrestling media. The timing coincided with Andrade’s eventual release from his WWE contract, a move that only added to the speculation surrounding the pressures on their relationship.
Andrade El Idolo Takes the Blame
In a surprising and candid move, Andrade El Idolo publicly addressed the divorce, taking full responsibility for the failure of the marriage. In interviews conducted in early 2025, Andrade admitted that he was "the problem" in the relationship.
This admission provided a rare and mature perspective on a celebrity split, shifting the narrative away from typical blame games. The core issue, according to reports, was the immense strain placed on the couple by their demanding, high-profile careers in professional wrestling and the challenges of maintaining a private life under the constant public scrutiny of the WWE universe.
A History of Broken Vows: Charlotte Flair’s Two Previous Marriages
To understand the complexity of Charlotte Flair's personal journey, it is essential to look back at her two previous marriages, both of which ended in divorce and were marked by significant emotional and legal issues.
First Husband: Riki Johnson (2010–2013)
Charlotte Flair's first marriage was to Riki Johnson, whom she married in May 2010. This union was short-lived, with the couple divorcing in 2013.
The details of this marriage were later revealed in her autobiography, where Flair candidly discussed a "disturbed marital life." The separation was notably contentious, marked by reports of domestic violence incidents. The issues were so severe that Johnson later filed a lawsuit against Flair and WWE over the depiction of their relationship in her book, though the suit was ultimately dismissed.
Flair has spoken tearfully in public about the difficulties of her past relationships, acknowledging the deep emotional scars left by the experience with Johnson.
Second Husband: Thomas Latimer, aka Bram (2013–2015)
Following her first divorce, Charlotte Flair married fellow professional wrestler Thomas Latimer, who was known as Bram in Impact Wrestling and NXT. They married in 2013.
Similar to her first marriage, this relationship also crumbled quickly, ending in divorce in 2015. The marriage was plagued by emotional stress and legal troubles. The breaking point arrived in August 2015 when Latimer was arrested in Gulfport, Florida, and charged with domestic battery and false imprisonment.
Flair filed for divorce that same year, citing the weight of legal issues, emotional turmoil, and unmet expectations as the primary reasons for the split. The experience further highlighted the challenges of balancing a high-pressure career with a complicated personal life.
The Impact of Divorce on "The Queen's" Career
While Charlotte Flair's personal life has been marred by three divorces, her professional career has only soared. She has consistently used her life experiences as fuel for her powerful in-ring persona, "The Queen." The emotional resilience required to navigate such public and painful separations has arguably contributed to her on-screen authority and dominance.
The recent split from Andrade El Idolo, while difficult, reinforces a pattern: the intense, travel-heavy lifestyle of a top-tier WWE Superstar is often incompatible with a stable, traditional marriage. Flair continues to perform on the SmackDown brand, focusing on her legacy and cementing her place as one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time, proving that even a broken heart cannot derail her championship ambition.
