Charlotte's father, Ric Flair, is a legend in the wrestling business. Hence, Andrade El Idolo was a little nervous about meeting him for the first time.

In an interview with Digital Spy, Andrade spoke about his reaction when he first met the WWE Hall of Famer. He admitted that he felt intimidated to come face-to-face with his fiancée's father.

"When we first met I was seriously so, so nervous. Now I'm so happy. I love Ric Flair. He's a great person with me, he talks, texts me, sometimes we have dinner. He's great with me now. When we first started [dating] I asked Charlotte, 'Please don't say nothing to your dad', and she said, 'No it's my dad, he won't care,'" Andrade said.

In a Q&A session on Twitter, The Queen disclosed that her father's first impression of Andrade was that he was a good wrestler.
