Life is like a body slam—you never know when it’s coming, but it’s all about how you get back up. Those words might as well be the motto of Charlotte Flair, WWE’s “Queen”, who might dominate the ring, but outside those ropes, she’s been hit with her fair share of emotional chaos—heartbreaks, struggles, and betrayals that no storyline could prepare her for.
Yes, Flair is once again stepping out of the ring—this time from her marriage to Andrade. After tying the knot in 2022, the couple decided to go their separate ways in 2024. Divorce papers have been filed, and like the tough competitor she is, Flair will continue to rise, despite the emotional toll.
Her past relationships weren’t just headlines—they were chapters filled with pain, growth, and ultimate resilience. Before Andrade, there were two other men who held her heart—and each story is more complicated than any in-ring feud. Let’s rewind the tape to see what really went down and the reasons that led to Charlotte Flair’s two previous divorces.
The takedown of Charlotte Flair’s first marriage: Riki Johnson
Charlotte Flair’s first marriage wasn’t the love story of fairy tales. Between 2010 and 2013, she was married to Riki Johnson, a man she would later describe in her autobiographySecond Natureas her toughest chapter to write about. In the book, she opened up about being the victim of repeated domestic abuse, a gut-wrenching revelation that shook many.

She shared withESPNin 2017 how hard it was to discuss those painful years:
Riki was the hardest to write about. It was hard because I never dealt with it. I’m embarrassed and ashamed and why would I let myself go through something like that? If you would have talked to me six months ago, I probably wouldn’t have gotten through the interview without crying.
She revealed how the toxic relationship reached a boiling point, leading to her departure from Johnson.
Meanwhile, he denied these allegations andeven filed a $5 milliondefamation lawsuit against Charlotte, Ric Flair, and WWE, all of whom helped publish the memoir.
The fall of Charlotte Flair’s second marriage: Thomas ‘Bram’ Latimer
Enter Thomas Latimer, better known in the wrestling world as Bram. The former couple, who tied the knot in 2013, met when both were in NXT. Their marriage was, on paper, a pairing of two rising stars. But in reality, it wasn’t all roses.
Though they started strong, with both working on different wrestling circuits, their union began to unravel when Latimer was involved in a legal debacle (perThe Sportster). In August 2015, the police were called to a domestic disturbance involving Bram in Florida, where he was charged with domestic battery and false imprisonment.
Flair’s second marriage, which had been teetering on the edge for months, was officially over by the fall of 2015, though the legal charges against Latimer were dropped later that year. The marriage, however, couldn’t be saved.
Charlotte Flair calls it quits: The end of her marriage to Andrade
In 2022, Charlotte Flair found herself standing at the altar with Andrade, the man who would become her third significant other. Their romance had its own highs—engagements, lavish weddings in Mexico (seePEOPLE)—but even love stories don’t always come with a happy ending.
