Sebastian Kidder, Ric Flair's Stepson and Rising Musician, Dies at 24

Ric Flair's stepson, Sebastian Kidder, an emerging musician, has tragically passed away at the age of 24. Kidder’s mother, Wendy Barlow, confirmed to TMZ Sports that her son took his own life, leaving the family heartbroken. Authorities reported that Kidder died from a gunshot wound on Saturday afternoon at the family’s Georgia home, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death is currently underway.

Barlow expressed her devastation, saying, "I am shocked. This is an epidemic with young men and mental health." She added that the family is grappling with the loss.

In recent months, Kidder’s music career was showing promise. This summer, he performed on FOX’s Good Day Atlanta, where he shared one of his original songs and talked about his debut album, which was set to release soon.

Ric Flair, who married Barlow in 2018 after years of dating, has not yet publicly commented on Kidder's passing. Flair, a wrestling legend, has been a presence in Kidder’s life for nearly 15 years since he and Barlow began their relationship.
