Ric Flair’s wife Wendy Barlow has tested positive for COVID-19. Flair confirmed the news to the New York Post.
The 71-year-old wrestling legend has drawn widespread concern. Flair has battled life-threatening health complications in recent years. He has been attending WWE TV tapings at the Performance Center in Orlando, where many WWE performers and employees have tested positive.
The New York Post also reported that an anonymous source told them Ric Flair has COVID-19. Flair denies the claim and says he is ‘socially distancing’ from his wife in their 5,000 square-foot home.
“That is absolutely incorrect,” Flair said about testing positive for COVID-19. “My wife does [have the virus]… we live in a 5,000 square foot home. I live in the basement. She lives upstairs on the third floor and she got sick.”
According to the report, Flair hung up the phone while talking with them before they could ask any more questions which included his trip to Starbucks. He stated in a text message that his “health is excellent.”
It was added by a source that Wendy is very ill and Flair is mostly asymptomatic aside from some coughing.
We wish Wendy Barlow a full and speedy recovery.
