Ric Flair is currently engaged to one of his former WCW valets, Wendy Barlow, better known as Fifi the French Maid. On Tuesday night, Flair shared news that Barlow was involved in a serious car accident, but did not provide further details at the time. Fans were understandably worried as a result, since this news came so soon after the tragedy with Jim Ross’ wife.
Please Pray for my Fiancé who was just in a serious car wreck. She is at the Hospital

Luckily, on Wednesday morning, Flair provided an update, letting everyone know that Barlow will be fine, and will be back up on her feet soon.

It’s quite a relief to the Flair family, and to fans as well, who sent best wishes by the boatload all night. We here at With Spandex would like to add our voices to that throng, and hope that Barlow makes a full and speedy recovery.
Barlow and Flair have been engaged since last year, and this will end up being Ric Flair’s fifth marriage. Fifi the Maid managed Flair in WCW for a brief time in the early 1990s, and left wrestling around 1993. The couple appeared on an episode of the reality show Celebrity Wife Swap, where they “swapped” with Roddy Piper and his wife, Kitty.
Just as an aside: Wife Swap and Celebrity Wife Swap were around for WAY longer than you probably remember.
