Ric Flair’s stepson has tragically passed away.
It’s with heavy hearts we report that at just 24 years old, Sebastian Kidder has passed away. His mother Wendy Barlow confirmed the news to TMZ on Sunday, revealing he died of suicide. She told the outlet:
“I am devastated and shocked. This is an epidemic with your young men. And mental health.”
How completely awful. The news organization reported Sebastian died of a gunshot wound at the family home in Georgia on Saturday, and that police investigation is underway.

Sebastian was up-and-coming on the music scene and had just released an album titled Under the Moon earlier this year. Sadly, his final social media post was on Saturday, just hours before he died.
Sebastian’s mom Wendy married WWE legend Ric Flair in 2018 after several years of dating. As of now, the 75-year-old has not publicly addressed the tragedy. But on Sunday, the devastated mother paid tribute to her late son on Instagram. She:
“There are no words to express the pain I am feeling from the loss of my Baby @sebastianonthemic Mommy Loves you”
Our hearts are with all of Sebastian’s loved ones. Rest in peace.
