I can't talk.  You know my story, married young then divorced and married for a second time.  You know what, that first husband really was the best choice so I circled back and married him again. I think I have finally figured this true love thing out.  Nonetheless I have walked down the aisle  (gulp) three times.  But  that is two less than one of Charlotte's most famous and infamous sons, Ric Flair.

According to Cageside Seats Ric and his fifth wife , Wendy Barlow, are ending their marriage.  He tweeted, "After taking some time apart, Wendy and I have Decided to go our separate ways, please respect our privacy and our families during this time.  I will love and cherish all of our memories together forever, and I will forever be thankful for all she has done to make my life better."
