Death of Sebastian Kidder: his famous father-in-law, former wrestler Ric Flair, pays him an emotional tribute

A great figure in American wrestling, Ric Flair was the father-in-law of Sebastian Kidder and he did not hide his emotion upon learning of his death. He posted a long message on X.”I spent hours wondering what to say. After learning of Sebastian's passing, I can only imagine what Wendy and Paul are going through, having lost a son of around the same age myself in 2013“, he began before addressing his ex-partner directly, from whom he separated last month. “I know that the pain of this loss will stay with you for the rest of your life. Every day of my life I think of Reid, just as you will continue to think of Sebastian. Don't feel guilty like I did for making Reid my best friend instead of being a good parent. Sometimes we are so close to our children that we forget that they need us in many different ways. I am so grateful for my time with Sebastian. I have so many good memories of the bonding moments spent with him during his childhood! He stayed strong alongside his mother and the whole family – Sophia, Paris and Summer – while I died. He was so generous to share his mother with me during this time […] Wendy, please stay strong and don't let anything discourage you from all the initiatives you have in place for the future. God bless you both! Rest in peace Sebastian” he said.
