Charlotte Flair Mourns Eight-Year-Old Fan Scarlett Guillen, Who Passed Away After Battle With Brain Cancer

The wrestling world is grieving the loss of Scarlett Guillen, an eight-year-old girl whose courageous fight against diffuse midline glioma — a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer — and her remarkable friendship with Charlotte Flair moved fans across the globe. Scarlett passed away in early July 2026, with the news confirmed through a GoFundMe campaign launched by Kimberly Ramirez to assist the family with funeral and memorial costs.

The fundraiser included a heartfelt tribute written by Scarlett’s parents: “Our hearts are shattered beyond words. After an incredibly courageous battle with DMG, our beautiful daughter Scarlett has gained her angel wings. She was only eight years old, yet she touched more lives than many people do in a lifetime. Scarlett was the light of every room she entered. She had the funniest personality, a contagious laugh, and a smile that could brighten even the darkest days. She was strong, determined, silly, and full of love. Being Scarlett’s parents has been the greatest honor of our lives. Every moment with her was a gift.”

Charlotte Flair, born Ashley Fliehr, developed a genuine bond with Scarlett throughout the young girl’s illness. In the wake of her passing, Flair made a personal donation of $8,000 to the family’s GoFundMe under her real name. Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton also contributed $10,000 to the campaign.

Just last month, WWE shone a spotlight on the relationship between the two in a documentary titled More than a Fan: The Story of Charlotte Flair and Scarlett, which captured the profound impact each had on the other’s life. The film stood as a testament to how deeply their connection resonated beyond the world of professional wrestling.

Scarlett Guillen leaves behind a family and a community forever changed by her spirit. Our thoughts are with all who loved her.
