Megan Fliehr is the daughter of Ric Flair and his First Wife, Leslie Goodman

Megan Fliehr was born in the early 80s in the town of Memphis, Tennessee. She is the second child of legendary wrestler Ric Flair. Born as Richard Morgan Fliehr, Megan’s dad began his pro wrestling career in the 70s. He featured on several wrestling promotions such as the WWE, WWF, WCW, and NWA. He emerged world champion on not less than 16 occasions. He was also the first holder of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship.

Ric Flair was also the first to complete WCW’s Triple Crown, i.e., winning the WCW United States Heavyweight, World Tag Team Championships, and World Heavyweight Champion. He also achieved a similar feat in the WWE by winning the Intercontinental Championship, the WWF Championship, and the World Tag Team Championship. Flair has been inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, and the WWE Hall of Fame (2x). On the other hand, Megan Fliehr’s mom is a Minnesota native named Leslie Goodman. She presently resides in Colorado.

Her Parents Divorced A Few Years After Her Birth, and She Mostly Grew Up with her Mother

Megan Fliehr’s parents first met each other and commenced a relationship in the late 60s. Thereafter, they tied the knot in 1971. At that time, Flair was still trying to make his way up the ranks in his pro wrestling career. He and Leslie encountered some tough times, but they stuck together, and things gradually improved as he went on to win the NWA USA heavyweight championship in 1977. The couple welcomed their first child, David, in 1979. By 1980/1981, Megan was born, and their joy knew no bounds. That joy was, however, short-lived as Flair and Goodman encountered troubles in their union soon after.

It may have been due to the pressures of the latter’s fame or some other reason, but whatever it was, the couple just couldn’t make their union work anymore, and by 1981, they filed for divorce. The divorce took some time to sort out, as Flair contested the child support and alimony that he was asked to pay, but it was later finalized. Goodman got primary custody of Megan and her elder brother while their rich and famous dad had to pay a reasonable amount for child support and alimony.

After the divorce, Megan Fliehr and her elder brother, David, grew up with their mom. They went to good schools and had the best luxuries that life could bring, thanks to the consistent paychecks from their dad. Megan Fliehr and her brother largely had an enviable childhood, but they weren’t so happy. Thanks to the demanding nature of their father’s career, they rarely got to spend any time with him. Things were further complicated after he remarried and focused much of his attention on his new family. This made Megan and her brother resentful, but they later worked through those feelings as they grew up. Both now had a wonderful relationship with their dad.

Megan Fliehr is Not a Wrestler,  But She Has Appeared in Several WWE TV Specials

Megan Fliehr is all grown up now and is pursuing various profitable pursuits. She has chosen not to toe her dad’s or siblings’ path by going into professional wrestling. She has rather built a thriving career as an actress and TV host in the WWE universe. Megan has appeared in several WWE TV specials such as WCW Monday Nitro (2000) and WrestleMania XXIV (2008). She has also appeared as herself in several WWE documentaries, including the 2002 Royal Rumble TV Special and 2017 30 for 30 documentaries.

30 for 30 is a collection of sports documentaries, and Megan appeared in the one that focused on her legendary father, titled Nature Boy. Megan was also featured in the 2021 TV series WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures. The series featured WWE stars, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, as they lead a team of collectors and WWE celebrities on a journey around the US to find WWE collectibles. Of course, such a trip wasn’t complete without a stopover at Megan’s dad’s house.

She has a Daughter from Her Previous Marriage to Robert Ketzner

Ric Flair has been famously married about five times, and this is one thing that his daughter, Megan, would be hoping to avoid. As it is now, the TV personality is currently on husband No. 2. Before we unpack that, Megan Fliehr’s first marriage was to a man named Robert Ketzner in the late 90s or early 2000s. The marriage lasted for a couple of years, during which they welcomed a daughter named Morgan Ketzner on 9th May of 2004. The couple later divorced, but they have worked hard to ensure that it does not impact their daughter negatively.

Morgan Ketzner (who is named after her famous grandfather) is a thriving young lady and attends the Providence High School in North Carolina. She is a member of their athletics program, and her team won a title in 2018, prompting a congratulatory message from her famous granddad. She now captains her school football team.

Megan Fliehr is Now Married to Popular Mortgage Broker/Podcaster, Conrad Thompson

 

Megan Fliehr is now married to a high-flying mortgage broker and podcaster, Conrad Thompson. Thompson is originally from Alabama and started a mortgage company, 1st Family mortgage company, in his hometown of Huntsville in his 20s. The company grew successful, and he later dovetailed into radio broadcasting and podcasting. Thompson initially began radio broadcasting and podcasting as a means of doing free publicity for his mortgage company, but he has grown successful beyond measure. His podcast, Something To Wrestle With, focuses on wrestling events and has proved popular with fans.

He has now established a podcast network known as AdFreeShows. It features about seven shows and has attracted about two million downloads in the US alone. He also hosts a professional wrestling fan convention known as Starrcast. Megan Fliehr and Conrad Thompson first got to know each other through her dad. Thompson was first introduced to Ric Flair in 2013 at a local wrestling event. They hit it off and became friends, and by the time that Flair wanted to do his podcasts, he sought help from Thompson.

It was in the course of this friendship/collaboration that Thompson bumped into Megan. They started dating, and by January 2018, he popped the big question. Megan accepted, and her dad took to Twitter to celebrate the news. He described Conrad as his good friend and stated that he would be proud and honored to walk his little girl down the aisle. That walk down the aisle eventually took place on 13th October 2018, and Megan shared a sweet snap of her and Thompson online. Her proud father also shared photos of his own. Megan and Thompson have been married for about two years now and make their home in the latter’s hometown of Huntsville. They do not have any kids yet.
