From Linda to Sky Daily: Hulk Hogan’s marriages and the alleged affair that rocked his family

Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan is no more. He reportedly died at the age of 71 following a cardiac arrest. Emergency services, including medics and police units, rushed to his home on Thursday morning, but the WWE legend could not be revived.

Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, is survived by his third wife, Sky Daily Hogan, whom he married in September 2023 after a whirlwind year-long romance.

According to the Daily Star, the pair met through Sky’s friend, Sabrina Nova. During a speech at Nova’s wedding, Hogan recalled their first meeting and proposed to Sky just two months prior to their nuptials.


“I asked Sky to marry me, and she was crazy enough to say yes, brother,” Hogan quipped at the event, according to the report.

Hogan’s personal life had been marked by high-profile relationships and controversies. He was previously married to Linda Hogan from 1983 to 2009. Their marriage ended amid public rumors of infidelity, including reports that one of daughter Brooke’s close friends had an affair with Hogan.

In 2010, Hogan wed his second wife, Jennifer McDaniel. The two were together for over a decade before divorcing in 2021.

Both Hogan and Sky had children from earlier relationships. Hogan was father to Brooke, 36, and Nick, 34, while Sky Daily had three children of her own.

Notably, Brooke Hogan was absent from her father's third wedding. Her absence sparked speculation of an ongoing family rift. Brooke later addressed the matter on Instagram, stating: “I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family, and am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals, and values. I wish him well.”
