Hulk Hogan's troubled relationships and affair with daughter Brooke's friend

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan's romantic journey proved to be a turbulent affair right until his passing at 71. Reports claim that paramedics were called to the WWE superstar's home in Clearwater, Florida.

The tragic news emerges just weeks after his spouse, Sky, was forced to dismiss speculation that the wrestler had fallen into a coma.

The 90s legend became equally renowned for his dominance in the wrestling ring and his chaotic personal life beyond it, particularly his stormy romantic history.

The WWE champion, who boasted a reported fortune of $24 million, walked down the aisle three times, fathered two offspring, and endured numerous failed relationships.

Linda Claridge

The grappling sensation rose to stardom in 1983, the identical year he exchanged vows with his first spouse. Hulk tied the knot with his initial wife, Linda, in 1983, welcoming two youngsters together - daughter Brooke and son Nick.

Linda appeared with Hulk on the reality programme "Hogan Knows Best," which chronicled their domestic situation and Hulk's professional journey.

Their union collapsed in 2009, following a widely-publicised split with Linda alleging Hulk had conducted an affair with Brooke's friend Christiane Plante. Linda's representative, Gary Smith, revealed to E!

News at the time, "When Linda discovered Hulk had [an affair] with Brooke's best friend, Christiane Plante, she made the decision to call it quits on the marriage.

"Almost every statement that comes out of Hulk's mouth is a diversionary tactic to deflect attention away from the real reason Linda filed for divorce: two words: HULK'S CHEATING!" Hulk's lawyer David Houston responded to Linda's statement at the time, "It is unfortunate Linda Hogan will do virtually anything to keep herself in the public spotlight.

"We are not going to demean this process nor the family any longer by responding to what amounts to pathetic pleas for attention."

Jennifer McDaniel

In 2010, a year after his divorce from Linda, Hulk remarried - this time to Jennifer McDaniel. The union lasted for 11 years before ending in 2021, allegedly due to a sex tape scandal involving Hulk and another woman.

Coinciding with the couple's marriage breakdown, intimate photographs of Jennifer were leaked to the public.

Hogan confirmed the couple were no longer married in February 2022, announcing it on social media after images emerged of him with a new partner, Sky.

He informed fans at the time on X, 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, love my Maniacs4Life."

Sky Daily

In 2023, Hulk walked down the aisle for a third time, marrying Sky Daily just two months after announcing their engagement.

The wrestling legend proposed in July 2023 at actor Corin Nemec's wedding reception and they exchanged vows on September 22, 2023.

Hulk's daughter Brooke Hogan was notably absent from the wedding, citing her own healing and happiness as reasons for maintaining distance from her family.

Before Hulk's death was officially confirmed, Sky was compelled to dismiss speculation he was in a coma.

Taking to social media she reassured supporters, "No, he's definitely not in a coma. His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage... none of those rumors are true."

She then insisted there was "no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up".
