Hulk Hogan’s Ex-Wife Says He’s ‘The Only Man For Me’ In Touching Tribute

Since Hulk Hogan‘s sudden death in late July 2025, an outpouring of emotional tributes has flooded social media.

While his children, Brooke and Nick Hogan, have shared their grief, Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife, Linda Hogan, has now also broken her silence.

On Instagram, Linda addressed Hulk’s death by saying she had “no idea he would pass away this soon,” later adding that she believed “he would make a comeback.”

Linda, 62, continued, “We are all devastated; it’s hitting me so hard.”

The TV personality even addressed their famously tumultuous marriage, which ended after she filed for divorce, citing the wrestler’s many “infidelities.”

“I loved Hulkster more than he loved me,” she wrote. “It hurt when he cheated on me, but he was sooo famous.”

As she continued, the “Hogan Knows Best” star admitted she’d been struggling with Hulk’s recent passing.

“I’ve been weeping all day. The finality. It’s just shocking. We spent every minute together for so many years. I’ve known him since he was 28 yrs old! I was 22,” Linda explained before revealing she’d kept up with Hulk through their son, Nick.

“I still love him. Even tho I never spoke or saw him, Nick did … and Nick would tell me things and vice versa. Just news about life. I still felt … although broken … we still were a family,” she wrote.

As she finished the moving post, Linda wrote, “I love you Hulkster. You were my man. The only man for me. RIP.”

For those unfamiliar, Linda filed for divorce from Hulk Hogan in 2007.

In 2008, Linda and Hulk’s daughter’s best friend, Christiane Plante, confirmed that she had an affair with Hulk, saying their “relationship … began at a time when [Hulk] and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending.”

Plante added, “She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed.”

According to RadarOnline, Brooke Hogan addressed the affair on her social media pages in 2008, saying she would “never forget the hurt [Plante] caused” her and her family. “I’m going through one of the hardest issues I’ve ever had to deal with in my life … please keep me and my family in your prayers.”

After his divorce from Linda, Hulk went on to marry Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021, before marrying Sky Daily in 2023.

During a previous interview, Hulk confirmed that he became engaged to Daily after proposing to her at a restaurant in Florida.

“She was crazy enough to say yes, brother,” Hulk said after the special day.

In a moving tribute post of her own, Daily, too, addressed Hulk’s health issues, saying, “I had so much faith in his strength.”

Daily, 46, described Hulk’s passing as “sudden and impossible to process” before mentioning the 71-year-old’s deep belief in religion.

“He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he’s been welcomed home,” Daily wrote. “Please keep his family and all of us who loved him in your prayers as we try to navigate this new reality.”
