Before his passing in July 2025, Hulk Hogan, born Terry Eugene Bollea, had been married three times. His relationships were often in the spotlight, especially as fans followed both his wrestling legacy and personal life over the years.
After ending his 11-year marriage to his second wife, Jennifer McDaniel, in 2021, Hogan moved forward with a new chapter. Not long after, he began dating Sky Daily, a yoga instructor and accountant. She started appearing frequently in his social media posts, which led fans to wonder if the wrestling icon had found love again. In early 2022, Hogan cleared up the speculation himself, posting on Twitter:
“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. Love my Maniacs4Life.”
Things moved quickly from there. In July 2023, Hogan shared that he had proposed to Sky during a romantic dinner in Tampa, Florida, and she said yes. Just a few months later, on September 22, 2023, the couple tied the knot in a small, private ceremony. According to reports, it was a simple, “low-key” wedding, reflecting their shared desire to keep things personal and intimate.
Sky Daily became Hogan’s third wife, following his previous marriages to Jennifer McDaniel and his first wife, Linda Hogan, whom longtime fans will remember from the earlier days of his fame.
Now, as fans across the world mourn Hulk Hogan’s passing, many are remembering not just the wrestling legend he was, but also the personal moments he shared with the people he loved. His journey through love and relationships showed a different side of the larger-than-life man, a side filled with vulnerability, growth, and hope for happiness.
Hulk Hogan’s spouse’s details
Sky Daily
It’s not exactly clear when Sky Daily and Hulk Hogan officially started dating, but they were first spotted together publicly on February 26, 2022, at a Bret Michaels concert. Hulk even shared a video from that night on Instagram, where he and Sky were seen backstage with the singer. At one point, Hogan introduced Sky as “my girl,” which instantly sparked curiosity among fans. Not long after, he took to Twitter to confirm what many were already wondering: he had finalised his divorce from Jennifer McDaniel and was now in a new relationship with Sky.
Even after going public, Sky chose to keep her life mostly out of the spotlight. Her social media accounts have remained private, and she’s only appeared in a handful of Hulk’s posts over the years. From what’s been reported, Sky is a mom of three and has described herself in the past as both an “accountant” and a “yoga instructor.” Despite her quiet presence online, those close to them say she’s been a steady and grounding force in Hulk’s life.
Over time, the couple began showing up at more events together. On February 25, 2023, they were photographed attending a friend’s birthday party, cosying up with their arms around each other, a moment that came shortly after Hogan reportedly underwent back surgery. Then, in July 2023, Hogan popped the question during a dinner in Tampa, and Sky said yes. Just a few months later, they got married in Clearwater, Florida.
Their wedding, according to sources, was small and intimate, exactly how they wanted it. It was meant to be a simple celebration of love, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Unfortunately, not everyone was present. One notable absence was Hulk’s daughter, Brooke Hogan.
It was a low key wedding. Neither of them wanted over the top, just a small affair with their nearest and dearest to declare their deep love and commitment to each other. Sadly Brooke did not show up
Jennifer McDaniel
Jennifer McDaniel, born on May 13, 1974, became Hulk Hogan’s second wife. The two met in 2008 shortly after his high-profile divorce from Linda. Jennifer was a professional makeup artist and made a name for herself in Hollywood, even earning a Saturn Award nomination for her work in the film Let Me In. Their connection grew quickly, and they got engaged not long after the meeting.
On December 28, 2010, Hulk Hogan and Jennifer tied the knot in a quiet, private ceremony in the backyard of their home in Clearwater, Florida. Though the couple chose to keep their relationship mostly out of the spotlight, Jennifer did appear now and then on Hulk’s social media, during vacations, casual outings, or sweet everyday moments. They didn’t have any children together.
Despite their nearly 11-year marriage, the relationship wasn’t without its struggles. One of the most public challenges came in the form of Hogan’s sex tape scandal involving Heather Clem, the wife of one of his close friends. The tape’s release by media outlet Gawker triggered a major lawsuit that would eventually lead to Gawker’s bankruptcy. Jennifer stood by him during this storm, and for a long time, the couple seemed to weather it together.
But by early 2022, things had changed. On February 28, Hulk casually confirmed via Twitter that he and Jennifer had finalised their divorce. He didn’t share any further details about what led to their split, leaving fans surprised and curious, but also respectful of his privacy.
Linda Hogan
Linda Hogan, born Linda Marie Claridge on August 24, 1959, was Hulk’s first wife and arguably the one who was most closely tied to his public life during the height of his wrestling fame. The two met in the early 1980s at a restaurant in Los Angeles and kept their romance alive through long-distance phone calls for two years before marrying in 1983.
Their wedding was a major event in the wrestling world, with famous names like Andre the Giant and Vince McMahon in attendance. Together, they had two children, Brooke (born in 1988) and Nick (born in 1990), and for a while, the Hogan family appeared to be living a dream.
Linda even stepped into the spotlight herself, performing backup vocals in Hulk’s Wrestling Boot Band during the ’90s. But her real rise to fame came in 2005 with the VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best, which gave viewers a front-row seat into their family’s daily life. However, what seemed picture-perfect on screen was hiding deeper issues behind the scenes.
In 2007, Linda filed for divorce, and it was finalised two years later. She later released a memoir titled Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes, in which she opened up about emotional and physical abuse she said she endured during their marriage. In one powerful passage, she described being frightened by his rages, writing that he once “held me down on the bed with his hands around my throat.”
