On her academic history, the records show that she is a diploma holder from a higher institution in the United States.
She Became Ric Flair’s Wife in 2009
Jackie Beems was once married to Richard Morgan Fliehr – a wrestling champion who gained fame with the ring name Ric Flair. The couple met sometime in 2004, and according to a report from PlayerWives, their first meeting occurred in a Chicago-based steakhouse.
Rick was already wrestling at the time they met. He is a big name in the world of wrestling. Though he has long retired, the WWE champion is regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers ever. He is officially a 16-time world champion, with eight NWA World Heavyweight Champions, two WWF Champions, and six WCW World Heavyweight Champions.
The couple commenced dating immediately after they met, and five years later, on the 11th of November 2009, they exchanged wedding vows. Their wedding ceremony was a private affair hosted in Charlotte, North California, with just family and close friends in attendance.
Though they were together for several years, Flair and Jackie Beems never shared any children. Unfortunately, the legal process for ending their union was set into motion in 2012 and was finalized in 2014.
She was not Ric Flair’s First Wife
It is common knowledge that Jackie Beems is not the first wife of the former WWE champion. Flair had been married three times before he met Beems and still tied a fifth knot after they got divorced.
Leslie Goodman is the wife of his youth, and they were married for over 12 years between 1971 and 1983; they share two children, David and Megan. Actress Elizabeth Harrell was his second wife, and they lasted 23 long years in a relationship that kick-started in 1983, producing another two children, Reid and Charlotte.
Famous fitness instructor Tiffany VanDemark was Flair’s wife number three; they only sustained their relationship for three years, just like Jackie Beems’ marriage to the wrestler. Their union was quite tumultuous while it lasted.
After Jackie came and left, The WWE champion went into his fifth and last marriage with former Canadian tennis player and coach Wendy Barlow whom he met in 1993. They wedded in 2018 and split up on the 31st of January, 2022.
What Does Ric Flair’s Ex-Wife Do for a Living?
Beems has never been a mainstream celebrity, and perhaps that was why her professional life never attracted public interest. To date, nothing has been said about her career path.
Jackie Beems’s Marriage with Flair was Besieged with a Lot of Drama
Jackie Beems and Ric Flair’s marriage was always making headlines because of the incessant drama and controversies that ruptured it. The coupe started in marital bliss, but it didn’t take long for the abuse and harassment allegations to start surfacing.
She was Accused of Abusing her Ex
Though Ric Flair never filed any domestic abuse charges, the former WWE champion once accused his ex-wife of abusing him. A 2010 report from Associated Press alleged that the authorities once arrested Jackie for attacking Flair and leaving him bruised and bloodied.
Reportedly, the couple was having issues bothering on finances in their North Carolina home when Beems unleashed violence on her ex with her teeth, hands, and legs.
From UK Daily Mail reports, we gathered that Flair called in the cops to put an end to his wife’s beating. When the police arrived around 9:40 p.m., they discovered that Flair’s injuries weren’t serious enough to call for medical attention, and eventually, they didn’t make any arrests.
Eventually, the wrestling champion declined to press charges against Beems. The lack of evidence was the main reason why the case was dropped.
Jackie Beems Accused Flair of Having Extra-marital Affairs
Towards the end of their union, Jackie Beems came up with serious accusations against her ex-husband, claiming that he was involved in several extramarital affairs.
Going by what she wrote in the court documents, Rick Flair embarrassed her by dating several women during the course of their relationship. She also claimed the former wrestler treated her in what she described as a “cruel and barbarous manner.”
These allegations wasted no time in hitting the airwaves, and Flair’s lawyer denied them to TMZ. Even with the denial from the WWE star, the stories seem to have an atom of truth because Beems was not the only woman who couldn’t stay married the Ric Flair. All his other marriages with different women equally ruptured into ugliness during their court proceedings.
Beems Nearly got Arrested For Sending Threatening Messages to Flair’s Fifth Wife
As mentioned earlier, Ric Flair married Wendy Barlow after getting divorced from Beems. In 2013, it was reported that she sent some threatening messages to Wendy, including making harassing phone calls to her.
Barlow had evidence of five voicemails and “50 text messages” from Beems, and this nearly got her behind bars. In 2012, PlayerWives reported that Jackie was accused of driving under the influence (DUI). There was also a time she accused Ric of falling short of $32,000 in his spousal support payment.
Where Is Jackie Beems Now?
Many fans of the former wrestler have expressed curiosity regarding the current whereabouts of Ric Flair’s fourth wife, and to date, the question is still begging for answers. Recall that her only claim to fame was being Flair’s wife, and she disappeared from the limelight after their divorce.
