Charlotte Flair Makes Emotional Statement About Her Divorce from Andrade
Charlotte Flair discusses her divorce from Andrade in an emotional interview with Sherri Shepard, revealing the personal struggles behind her WWE return.
The road back to the ring isn’t always paved with just physical challenges. Sometimes, the toughest battles happen away from the cameras, as Charlotte Flair recently revealed in a candid interview with Sherri Shepard. The fourteen-time champion has been putting on a brave face since her Royal Rumble return, but behind the scenes, she’s been dealing with the emotional aftermath of her divorce from fellow WWE star Andrade – a private struggle she’s now addressing publicly for the first time.
During her emotional conversation with Shepard, Charlotte Flair opened up about her difficult year.
I didn’t (handle it). I felt like I was failing at my job. I felt like I was failing in my personal life, and the embarrassment of being divorced again, and then being compared to my father,” she shared. “When I made the decision to file for divorce, the only thing that I kept thinking was, I didn’t want anyone to know. Like ‘oh my gosh I failed again’. I’ve found my worth. It’s okay not to be okay, that’s what I’ve learned… I think to the audience who watches wrestling, they don’t know what Charlotte has been through to get to where she is, but I know, so for Ashley, this is my biggest comeback yet.
The timing couldn’t have been more challenging for the second-time Royal Rumble winner. After a year-long absence due to a knee injury, Charlotte returned at the premium live event and secured a title shot against Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41. Her personal struggles remained private until shortly after her comeback, when news of her divorce broke publicly.
What we’re seeing in the ring now is more than just Charlotte Flair the performer – it’s a woman finding her strength through adversity. Her openness about these personal struggles adds new dimension to her WrestleMania match, transforming it from just another title opportunity into a genuine redemption story. As she prepares to square off against Stratton in Las Vegas, fans might just be witnessing the most authentic version of Charlotte we’ve seen in years – someone who’s faced her fears head-on and stepped into the spotlight anyway.
