The professional wrestling community mourned the loss of an icon on July 24, 2025, when Hulk Hogan died at 71 from cardiac arrest in his Florida home. Hogan’s influence reached far beyond the wrestling ring, with his life marked by love, betrayal, and public conflicts. His family, including his third wife Sky Daily, estranged daughter Brooke Hogan, and son Nick Hogan, continued to be in the public eye long after he retired from wrestling.

This is an in-depth look at the saga of Hulk Hogan’s family, covering his marriages and the complicated dynamics with his children, alongside the quotes that underscored their very public disputes.

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

Hogan’s romantic history was reminiscent of a WWE storyline, featuring scandals, divorces, and redemptive moments. His first marriage to Linda Claridge lasted for 26 years (1983–2009) before it fell apart amidst infidelity allegations. Linda later attracted attention with an emotional Instagram video, where she accused Hogan of being a “s*x addict” and claimed he had an affair with a friend of their daughter Brooke—a claim that Christiane Plante, the woman in question, confirmed back 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.
