Hulk Hogan was married three times before he died at 71 years old.

The retired pro-wrestling star, whose real name was Terry Bollea, wed his first wife, Linda Hogan, in 1983. After their 2009 divorce, he married Jennifer McDaniel, though they split in 2021. Two years later, he wed his third wife, Sky Daily.

On July 24, the WWE confirmed his death on X, writing, “WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s.”

They continued, “WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans.”

Over the years, Hogan found himself at the center of several controversies, including leaked audio of a racist rant, which he later called “unacceptable,” to a years-long legal feud with Gawker over a sex tape that led to a $31 million settlement. But when it came to public appearances in recent years, his current wife, Daily, remained by his side.

In the wake of his death, here’s a look back at Hulk Hogan’s marriages to his three wives: Linda Hogan, Jennifer McDaniel and Sky Daily.

Hogan married his ex-wife, Linda, in 1983. The pair went on to welcome two children: daughter Brooke, born in May 1988, and son Nick, born in July 1990.

Together, the Hogan family rose to fame on their VH1 reality series, Hogan Knows Best, which aired for four seasons from 2005 until 2007.

The pair eventually split and settled their divorce in July 2009. During a conversation with The Tampa Tribune at the time, Linda said that the “war is over.”

“I still love him,” she continued. “He’s the father of my children.”

Hogan added, “When you’re married to someone for 23 years … you hope for the best … We just got torn apart.”

Years later, Linda claimed her family had been fractured in the wake of their divorce. In March 2025, she shared a video on her Instagram Stories in which she reflected on her marriage, claiming that the retired WWE star is a “sex addict” and a “liar” and said she is estranged from their daughter, Brooke.

“It’s been 15, however long years since I left Hulk Hogan, and my family is the worst mess,” she said in the video, per E! News.

Just four days before Hogan died, Linda shared a throwback Instagram photo of her and the WWE star, captioned, “The good old days !”

Following his split from Linda, Hogan married McDaniel in December 2010. Their wedding took place behind the wrestler’s home in Clearwater, Fla.

They were married for nearly 11 years before he filed for divorce in October 2021. However, it wasn’t until a February 2022 post on X announcing he was dating somebody new that he clarified he and McDaniel had gotten divorced.

“I am officially divorced, sorry I thought everyone already knew,love my Maniacs4Life,” he wrote.

In February 2022, Hogan became romantically linked to Daily, a yoga instructor and mother of three, after they were spotted together at a Bret Michaels concert. He then confirmed their relationship on X, in the same post in which he clarified his divorce from McDaniel.

In July 2023, Hogan revealed his engagement to Daily while giving a speech at the wedding of their mutual friends, Corin Nemec and Sabrina Nova.

“I asked Sky to marry me, and she was crazy enough to say yes, brother,” he said in a since-deleted video of the speech that was originally shared on Instagram, per CNN. The retired wrestler told wedding guests that he met Daily after buying her a drink during a night out with Nova.

One month after announcing their engagement, he shared an Instagram photo with Daily on the beach, writing, “Beach day with my Sky Baby, it always seems just perfect, like she’s always been here, Sky Baby 4Life One Love HH.”

That September, Hogan and Daily tied the knot in an intimate Florida ceremony. Following their nuptials, Hogan shared clips from the special day on Instagram, captioned, “My new life starts now!”
