Flair gave the update in a statement posted to his Instagram.

“I wish her the best of luck in her projects and I know she supports mine.”
Flair, 75, married Barlow in September 2018. She announced that the two had briefly separated in January 2022 before getting back together. Barlow was Flair's fifth wife.
