WWE superstar Charlotte Flair is basking in the glory of her remarkable and historic win at the 2025 Royal Rumble, yet her personal life is facing significant changes. After nearly six years of being together, Charlotte and her wrestling partner Andrade have officially ended their relationship. According to court documents acquired by TMZ, Charlotte, whose real name is Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr, filed for divorce from Andrade, whose real name is Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza, in June 2024 in Florida. The divorce was finalized in October 2024, marking the conclusion of their two-year marriage and leaving fans and followers surprised.
The couple first crossed paths six years ago when they became colleagues in the WWE, leading to a romance that blossomed over time. Their relationship progressed, culminating in an engagement in 2020 and a lavish wedding in Mexico in 2022, celebrated by numerous fellow wrestling stars. Throughout their marriage, Charlotte faced numerous challenges, particularly due to her battle with severe injuries. However, she frequently expressed gratitude towards Andrade, publicly acknowledging his unwavering support during her arduous recovery from a serious knee injury that kept her sidelined for a year.
Charlotte Flair Makes a Spectacular Comeback to the Wrestling Scene
Amid personal challenges, Charlotte made a stunning comeback to the WWE stage, claiming victory at the 2025 Royal Rumble held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. In a thrilling showdown, she outperformed 29 other competitors, ultimately throwing NXT sensation Roxanne Perez over the top rope, showcasing her resilience and skill, fully recovered from her prior knee injury that had once threatened her career.
This victory not only made Charlotte the first woman to win the Royal Rumble twice but also solidified her status as one of the greatest female wrestlers in history. Her win guarantees her a coveted championship opportunity at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, where she will have the choice to challenge either Rhea Ripley or Tiffany Stratton for one of the prestigious Women’s World Championship titles. In the post-match press conference, Charlotte candidly shared her struggles over the past year, expressing her determination to seize this opportunity with both hands.
?I spent the last 12 months wondering, ?Is it going to happen to me again?? It was really hard to process. But hearing my music tonight and seeing the signs, I needed to get the first match under my belt. Here?s the thing: I?m going to work smarter, not harder.?
