The Queen of WWE, Charlotte Flair, has built a legendary career rivaling that of her father, Ric Flair, but her personal life has been just as scrutinized, especially concerning her relationships. As of December 10, 2025, the most current and significant update is the finalization of her third marriage to fellow professional wrestler, Andrade El Idolo.
The high-profile union between two of wrestling's biggest stars officially ended in late 2024, confirming months of speculation. This article provides a deep dive into the biography of her most recent ex-husband, Manuel Andrade Oropeza, and a complete look at all three of Charlotte Flair's marriages, which have all ended in divorce.
Manuel "Andrade El Idolo" Oropeza: Biography of Charlotte Flair's Third Ex-Husband
Charlotte Flair's third and most recent husband, Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza, is a highly decorated professional wrestler from Mexico. The couple’s relationship was a major talking point in the wrestling world, uniting two dynasties from the WWE and AAA Lucha Libre circuits.
- Full Name: Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza

- Date of Birth: November 3, 1989
- Place of Birth: Gómez Palacio, Durango, Mexico
- Wrestling Career: Began wrestling at a very young age, coming from a multi-generational wrestling family. He achieved major success in Mexico's CMLL as La Sombra before signing with WWE.

The Shocking 2024 Divorce: What Went Wrong?
The marriage between Charlotte Flair and Andrade El Idolo, which began with a spectacular wedding in Hacienda Mi Ranchito in Torreón, Mexico, lasted just over two years. The news of their separation first surfaced in mid-2024, and the legal process moved quickly.
Charlotte Flair filed for divorce from Manuel Andrade Oropeza in June 2024. By October 10, 2024, a judge had finalized the divorce, officially ending their union.
The primary reason cited for the separation revolves around the immense pressures of fame and the demanding, often conflicting, schedules of two top-tier professional wrestlers. Andrade's move from WWE to AEW and back again, coupled with Charlotte's status as a perennial main-event star in WWE, created a logistical and emotional strain that was ultimately too much for the marriage to withstand.
Following the split, Charlotte Flair (Ashley Fliehr) spoke publicly about the emotional toll, stating she felt a sense of "shame" over her third failed marriage. Despite the heartbreak, both wrestlers have maintained a professional focus on their respective careers, with Andrade making a significant return to WWE Raw and Charlotte recovering from a major injury.
A Look Back at Charlotte Flair's First Two Marriages
To fully understand Charlotte Flair's complicated relationship history, it is essential to examine her two previous marriages, both of which occurred before her rise to superstardom in WWE. These relationships are documented in her co-authored autobiography, *Second Nature: The Legacy of Ric Flair and the Rise of Charlotte Flair*.
First Ex-Husband: Riki Johnson
Charlotte Flair's first marriage was to Riki Johnson. This union was short-lived and highly controversial, primarily due to accusations made by Johnson in the years following their separation.
- Marriage Date: May 2010
- Divorce Date: February 2013
- Context: The marriage dissolved just as Charlotte was beginning her training to become a professional wrestler, a path that would lead her out of an unhappy personal situation.
The marriage to Riki Johnson ended in 2013, a period that Charlotte has described as tumultuous. This chapter of her life is one she has been very open about, emphasizing the personal struggles she faced before embracing her destiny in the wrestling world.
Second Ex-Husband: Thom Latimer (Bram)
Charlotte's second marriage was to fellow professional wrestler Thomas "Thom" Raymond Latimer, who is also known by his ring name, Bram. This relationship was forged within the wrestling industry, but it too was unable to endure the pressures of the business.
- Full Name: Thomas Raymond Latimer
- Ring Names: Thom Latimer, Bram
- Wrestling Career: Latimer has competed for major promotions like WWE (as part of the developmental system), TNA/Impact Wrestling, and is currently signed to the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).
- Marriage Date: 2013
- Divorce Date: October 2015
- Context: The divorce came just as Charlotte's career was exploding on the WWE main roster, following the "Women's Revolution" and her high-profile feuds with stars like Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch.
The Queen's Future: Moving Forward After Three Divorces
The consistent pattern in Charlotte Flair's romantic life is the difficulty of maintaining a stable relationship while operating at the very pinnacle of the demanding professional wrestling industry. The inherent challenges—constant travel, long periods of separation, and the public scrutiny that comes with being the daughter of "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and a 14-time (or more) Women's World Champion—have proven too much for three separate marriages.
The divorce from Andrade El Idolo in 2024 marks a definitive end to a highly publicized chapter. While the split was emotionally difficult, Charlotte has channeled her focus back into her career, returning from injury to compete in major events like the Royal Rumble and continuing her pursuit of championship gold. Her professional resilience remains unparalleled, even as she navigates the complexities of her private life.
Charlotte Flair remains one of the most dominant figures in the history of women’s wrestling. As she enters a new phase of her life, single and focused on her legacy, fans will be watching closely to see if she can find a balance between her personal happiness and her relentless professional drive, or if her commitment to being "The Queen" will continue to overshadow her romantic endeavors.
