Flair himself tweeted about his pride in Sebastian’s first major release, writing on x: Congratulations on the release of your first album – Under The Moon! I’m so proud of you! WOOOOOO! Available on all streaming platforms!’
Sebastian appeared on Fox5 Atlanta earlier this year to promote his record and said, “It’s actually very romantic, the core of the album. Very recognisable.’
He explained that his mother supported his music career after hearing him sing a song to a girl he wanted to impress.
“I shot the cover and didn’t think anything about it, but my mom got a hold of it and started sending it to people. You get traction and roll along,” he said.
About his relationship with Ric, Sebastian said: “Lots of advice (on dealing with fame). That’s the interesting thing: growing up with Ric as a stepfather was very different, very unique.
“What kid has Post Malone coming over to have dinner with the family? It was crazy.’
Ric, one of the most iconic wrestlers of all time, and Wendy, a retired All-American professional tennis player, previously split in 2022, only to reconcile a few months later.
