Sebastian Kidder, the 24-year-old stepson of WWE icon Ric Flair, has died at the age of 24. The heartbreaking news was confirmed by his mother, Wendy Barlow, to TMZ Sports.
Sebastian was an aspiring singer based in Atlanta and had recently released his debut studio album titled “UNDER THE MOON.” Earlier this summer, he appeared on Good Day Atlanta to discuss his music with host Kaitlyn Pratt, where he humorously shared, “It’s a lot of pain, a lot of suffering, a lot of crying in a corner just hoping the words come out,” before joking about the album’s romantic themes.
Reports indicate that Sebastian was found deceased at the family home in Georgia, with initial beliefs suggesting it was a suicide.
In a previous interview with FOX 5 Atlanta, Sebastian reflected on his childhood, noting that he began his entertainment career at the age of 10 with a role on “The Walking Dead.” He expressed gratitude to his mother, crediting her support as a major influence on his career trajectory.
Barlow expressed the family’s profound sorrow following the loss of her son.
