Hulk Hogan, the legendary WWE wrestler whose real name is Terry Bollea, has had a rollercoaster love life spanning three marriages, two messy divorces, and enough family drama to fuel a reality show reboot.
His current marriage to Sky Daily, a whirlwind romance that went from first date to wedding bells in under two years, is just the latest chapter in a saga filled with public feuds, social media spats, and headlines that prove even retirement can’t slow down the Hulkster’s personal chaos.
Who Is Hulk Hogan’s Wife, Sky Daily?
The 71-year-old wrestling icon tied the knot with Sky, a 46-year-old yoga instructor and mother of three, on September 22, 2023, in a low-key ceremony in Clearwater, Florida. Their relationship began after Hogan met Sky during a night out in February 2022, when her friend Sabrina Nova famously chased Hogan’s car to convince him to ask Sky out. Hogan later joked about the meet-cute during a speech at Nova’s wedding in July 2023, saying, “It made me think twice about just ghosting and going home and never calling.”
The couple got engaged just a year later, with Hogan proposing at a Tampa restaurant in July 2023, and he admitted to TMZ he was “very nervous” popping the question. Their wedding was intimate, with only their children in attendance, and Hogan’s daughter Brooke notably skipped the event, later explaining on Instagram it was for her “healing and happiness.”
Hulk Hogan’s Past Marriages to Linda Claridge and Jennifer McDaniel
Before Sky, Hogan was married twice, and both relationships ended in messy divorces. His first wife, Linda Hogan (née Claridge), was his partner for 24 years after they wed in 1983. They met at an LA restaurant in the early ‘80s and became reality TV stars on Hogan Knows Best, which aired from 2005 to 2007 and featured their kids, Brooke and Nick. But behind the scenes, their marriage was turbulent.
Linda filed for divorce in 2007, citing Hogan’s affair with their daughter’s close friend, Christiane Plante, who later confirmed the relationship to the National Enquirer. In her 2011 memoir, Wrestling the Hulk, Linda accused Hogan of physical abuse, writing, “He tore my shirt. He threw lamps. He held me down on the bed with his hands around my throat during arguments.” The divorce was finalized in 2009, and Linda later made headlines herself for dating a 19-year-old, Charley Hill, in 2008.
Hogan’s second marriage was to Jennifer McDaniel, a makeup artist 20 years his junior, whom he wed in a private backyard ceremony in Clearwater on December 28, 2010. Their relationship survived Hogan’s infamous s– tape scandal with Heather Clem, which led to a lawsuit that bankrupted Gawker in 2016. Despite the turmoil, Jennifer stayed with Hogan until their divorce was quietly finalized in 2021.
Hogan confirmed the split on Twitter in February 2022 after fans noticed Sky in his social media posts, writing, “Yo Maniacs just for the record, the Facebook and Instagram posts are of me and my girlfriend Sky, I am officially divorced, sorry I thought everyone already knew.”
The Latest on Hulk Hogan’s Family Feud: Brooke’s Claims, Linda’s Jabs & Sky’s Role
Fast-forward to 2025, and Hogan’s family drama is back in the spotlight. His ex-wife Linda and daughter Brooke are locked in a bitter public feud, with Linda claiming in a March 2025 video that Brooke hasn’t spoken to her in eight years and didn’t tell her about her 2022 wedding to Steven Oleksy or the birth of their twins in January 2025. Brooke fired back on Instagram, saying her estrangement from both parents was due to a lifetime of “verbal and mental abuse,” though she didn’t name anyone directly.
Linda Hogan posted a video on Facebook saying her family is a mess and she blames Hulk Hogan.

Linda denied the accusations on Facebook, calling Brooke a “narcissist just like her dad” and claiming Brooke’s memories were “skewed.” Hogan, meanwhile, seemed to troll the drama in a March 2025 Instagram video with Sky, where the couple mockingly ate popcorn and teased a potential Hogan Knows Best reboot with the caption, “Getting ready for the new HH TV show 🍿 🍿 🍿 coming soon!”
Despite the chaos, Hogan and Sky appear to be in a good place. They got baptized together in December 2023 at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida, with Hogan calling it “the greatest day of my life.” Sky, who keeps her Instagram private, has embraced Hogan’s world, even though his relationship with Brooke remains strained. Brooke, for her part, has stood by her decision to distance herself, writing in March 2025, “I absolutely LOVE them with every fiber of my being… but no child or human should ever experience something like this.”
Meanwhile, Linda told TMZ Hogan was “a shi–y husband sometimes” but “always a good father,” though she admitted the family rift has left Hogan “distraught.”
