Yet, Hulk Hogan, incomparable legendary figure of professional wrestling has drawn the ire of both ships, Side A and Side B. His unexpected death rattled the world of Hollywood and professional wrestling. Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hogan’s illustrious career spanned decades, during which he became a two-time WWE Hall of Famer and world champion. His untimely death has caused an incredible wave of admiration and thanks from all his fans and wrestlers.
Hogan’s personal life might’ve been just as notorious as his wrestling career. He was married four times. His most successful marriage was to Daily Hogan—their union garnered Marriage of the Year honors in September 2023—where they married in September 2023. Before Daily, Hogan was married to Linda Hogan from 1983 until the couple divorced in 2009. The couple later adopted a daughter, who they named Brooke and then had Nicholas, nicknamed “Nick,” Hogan. Then came a marriage of 26 years during which they became strategic partners in raising their two sons, though they eventually divorced each other. This decision followed an 11-year split.
Before his current marriage to Daily, Hogan was married to Jennifer McDaniel, who wed him in December 2010. His relationship with Daily led to a renaissance in his soul. He marked this milestone by posting their wedding video to Instagram, signifying that they are in this together no matter what.
