Wrestling legend Ric Flair reveals cancer diagnosis after previously denying reports

Last month, Flair addressed the rumors in a post on X. 

Flair announced his split from his fifth wife, Wendy Barlow, in September. In a post announcing the couple's divorce, he thanked Barlow for her support during a serious health complication in 2017. 

"I'll never be able to thank her enough for standing by my side through my terrible health crisis in 2017. She never left my side! And for that I will always be grateful," he said at the time. "We are working on different projects at the current time & it becomes difficult with my schedule & her schedule to make this work.

"I wish her the best of luck with her projects, and I know that she supports mine."
