WWE legend Ric Flair's stepson has died aged 24 after committing suicide

WWE legend Ric Flair mourns the loss of his stepson Sebastian, who committed suicide at the age of 24.

Sebastian Flair's mother, Wendy, confirmed his death to TMZ Sports, saying, “I'm devastated and shocked. “This is an epidemic among your young men. And mental health.'

According to TMZ, Sebastian was discovered with a gunshot wound in Georgia on Saturday afternoon and police are investigating. Sebastian took to his Instagram on Saturday and shared a selfie and a picture of himself posing with his guitar.

“There are no words to express the pain I feel from the loss of my baby @sebastianonthemic,” his mother, Wendy, shared on Instagram Sunday afternoon. “Mom loves you.”

Last month, Flair and Wendy announced they had separated after six years of marriage.

Sebastian was a musician and released his first album entitled “Under The Moon” earlier this year.

Flair himself tweeted about his pride over Sebastian's first major release, writing on X: “Congratulations on the release of your first album – Under The Moon!” I'm so proud of you! WOOOOO! Available on all streaming platforms!'

Sebastian appeared on Fox5 Atlanta earlier this year to promote his album and said, “It's actually very romantic, the core of the album. 'Very relatable.'

He explained that his mother was behind his music career after hearing him sing a song to a girl he wanted to impress.

“I recorded the cover and didn’t think anything of it, but my mom got her hands on it and started sending it out to people. “You get traction and roll with it,” he said.

On his relationship with Ric, Sebastian said: “Definitely a lot of advice (on dealing with fame). That's the interesting thing: growing up with Ric as a stepfather was very different, very unique.

“You go to a family dinner and you're surrounded by fans, people who come and want pictures.” You're exposed to that from a young age.

“Which kid does Post Malone come over and have family dinner with? Once Darius Rucker drove up in his big tour bus. It was crazy.'

Ric, 75, one of the most famous wrestlers of all time, and Wendy, a retired All-American professional tennis player, split once in 2022 only to reconcile a few months later.

“Wendy and I have enjoyed 13 amazing years,” Flair wrote in a statement. “Like any couple, we have had our ups and downs. (But) I think it's important now for everyone to know that we have decided to respectfully go our separate ways.

“I will never be able to thank her enough for standing by me through my terrible health crisis in 2018. She never left my side!” And I will always be grateful for that!

“We are both currently working on different projects and it will be difficult to make this work due to my schedule and hers.”

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

Wendy was Flair's fifth wife after his previous marriages to Leslie Goodman, Elizabeth Harrell, Tiffany VanDemark and Jaqueline Beems.
