Ric Flair, one of wrestling’s most legendary figures, took to Twitter on January 8 to publicly apologize to his daughter, Megan Fliehr, for missing her birthday. The heartfelt post came as a rare moment of personal reflection from “The Nature Boy.”

“I just want to apologize to my beautiful daughter @meganfliehr for me letting my overloaded schedule miss one of the most important days of my life, and that’s her birthday. Belated Happy Birthday Darling! Please forgive me. I love you!” Flair wrote.

Fans have long speculated about the toll Flair’s iconic wrestling career has taken on his personal life. His latest tweet shed light on the challenges of balancing a legendary career with family responsibilities. While Flair didn’t explicitly label himself a “deadbeat,” the apology resonated with fans, sparking discussions about his dedication to his family over the years.

This apology follows Flair’s fiery Twitter exchange with WWE star Bronson Reed just a day earlier. While the back-and-forth with Reed showcased Flair’s trademark bravado, this more personal statement reminded fans of his human side.
