Charlotte Flair Admits She Shut Down Emotionally During IVF and Divorce Process

Charlotte Flair and Andrade finalized their divorce back in 2024, but it was a very difficult period of time for Flair. This is because Flair not only went through a divorce, but she struggled with IVF as well.

While speaking on Off the Vine, Charlotte Flair talked about going through IVF while also dealing with a knee injury and getting a divorce. She said she started with the egg-freezing process and had planned to do full IVF with embryos.

But the stress of everything going on made it too hard. She had just hurt her knee, and as she was going through the process, she realized her marriage was ending after she had tried so hard to save it.

Even after filing for divorce, she still planned to move forward with making embryos. But she wasn’t able to because her egg quality wasn’t good enough at that time. She said it was all too much to handle at once; the injury, the divorce and the fertility process. Her body was likely reacting to all the stress.

“No, no, no. I went through just the egg freezing process. But I was going to do embryos—IVF, yes. I was going to. But the stress from—I had just torn my knee—and then halfway through it I was like, ‘Oh, this relationship…’ I mean, I have fought for this marriage for so long.

So then, as I filed for divorce, I kept going, ‘Okay, I’ll still get—I’ll still have embryos ready.’ I just didn’t have the egg quality. It was just everything at once. It was that, the divorce, and then yeah, my body was just in, like, probably shock.“

The Queen of WWE said she shut herself off from almost everyone except her assistant Brian, who stayed by her side. She wanted to keep the divorce private. She didn’t want to feel embarrassed or like she failed.

Since she and Andrade were in the same company, she didn’t want people to know what was happening. She wasn’t lying to anyone, but nobody really knew what she was going through.

“I just kind of closed myself off from everyone—except for my assistant Brian, who was there with me most of the time. I didn’t—I just shut down, because I wanted to keep my divorce a secret.

I didn’t want to be embarrassed. I didn’t want to feel like a failure. I didn’t want to admit that we were getting divorced—and we’re in the same company, yeah. So, not lying to everyone, but like, no one knew what was going on.”

Charlotte Flair also made it clear she feels a weight is off her shoulders after she opened up about her divorce and even made it clear she is open to dating a professional wrestler again in the future, since they would understand her busy schedule. Regardless, Flair has persevered and is trying to be the best version of herself and that’s all that matters.
