Hulk Hogan Family: Meet His Wife And Kids

The world of professional wrestling lost a true icon on July 24, 2025, when Hulk Hogan passed away at 71 due to a cardiac arrest at his home in Florida. Hogan’s impact extended far beyond the ring; his life was a whirlwind of love, betrayal, and public feuds. His family, including his third wife Sky Daily, his estranged daughter Brooke Hogan, and his son Nick Hogan, remained in the limelight long after he hung up his wrestling boots.

Here’s a closer look at the saga of Hulk Hogan’s family, from his marriages to the complicated relationships with his children, along with the quotes that highlighted their very public battles.

Hulk Hogan’s Wives: From Linda Claridge to Sky Daily

Hogan’s romantic life read like a WWE storyline, complete with scandals, divorces, and redemptive arcs. His first marriage to Linda Claridge lasted 26 years (1983–2009) before it unraveled amid allegations of infidelity. Linda later made headlines with an emotional Instagram video, where she labeled Hogan a “s*x addict” and claimed he had an affair with a friend of their daughter Brooke—a claim that the woman, Christiane Plante, admitted to in 2008.

After a brief marriage to Jennifer McDaniel (2010–2021), Hogan fell in love once more with Sky Daily, a yoga instructor 25 years his junior.

They tied the knot in 2023 during an intimate ceremony in Florida, with Hogan donning his trademark bandana in black, while Sky looked stunning in a strapless gown. The couple felt a deep spiritual connection, even getting baptized together in late 2023, which Hogan described as the “greatest day of his life.”

However, amidst these joyous moments, Hogan faced serious health challenges. He underwent multiple back surgeries, hip replacements, and a neck procedure in May 2025, leaving him in a fragile state during his final months.

Brooke Hogan’s Estrangement: A Family Feud Played Out Publicly

The relationship between Hogan and his daughter Brooke was one of the most painful aspects of his life. In March 2025, she took to Instagram to share that she had severed ties with both her parents, citing years of “verbal and mental abuse” that sometimes escalated to physical confrontations.

“I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents,”

she explained.

“My no contact with my mom has nothing to do with my dad, and my no contact with my dad has nothing to do with my mom. I’ve reached out multiple times to help them but ended up pulled into their darkness.”

Linda Hogan reacted with her own heartfelt post, acknowledging that they hadn’t talked in eight years and expressing her sadness:

“Brooke doesn’t talk to us. She had twins, got married, and didn’t tell us.”

The tension escalated when Hogan and Sky poked fun at Linda’s emotional breakdown in a now-deleted Instagram video, munching on popcorn as if watching drama unfold in a soap opera.

Nick Hogan: Caught in the Middle of Family Drama

Unlike his sister, Nick Hogan maintained a closer relationship with his father, despite facing his own controversies—including a 2007 car accident that left a friend with severe brain injuries. A source revealed in April 2025 that Nick felt “caught in the middle” of the family drama, trying to stay out of the chaos to avoid any further conflict.

Currently married to adult film star Tana Lea, Nick has mostly steered clear of public disputes but has encountered legal issues, such as a DUI arrest in 2023.
