On July 24, TMZ Sports reported the tragic news that 71-year-old WWE legend Hulk Hogan had died. According to the site, EMTs and police cars were spotted outside the actor’s home, which he shared with his wife, Sky. Hogan was loaded onto a stretcher and into a waiting ambulance. Operators stated the wrestler had a cardiac arrest.
Recently, Sky Daily Hogan took to Instagram to say that Hogan’s health was better than the media had reported.
“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 wrote (via Pro Wrestling World), so there was “no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up.”
Hulk Hogan married Sky Daily in September 2023. Read on to learn more about who she is and their relationship.
Hulk Hogan and Sky Began Dating in 2022
Hulk Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, met the way many people do: at a bar. He told the story at Sabrina Nova’s wedding, Daily’s best friend (via Los Angeles Times). Nova’s wedding was also where he proposed to Daily.
Hogan said that he had sent drinks over to a group of women, of which Daily was a part. When one of her friends came over to thank him, he asked about Daily, “Who’s the blonde?”
“So I spotted Sky, and we sat down, we talked,” Hogan said. But then, when he was about to head home, Nova came over to his car.
“And then when I got in my car, there was just bang, bang, bang, bang on the window. It scared the hell out of me, so I put the window down.”
Nova told him that Daily was “a nice girl,” and that he should call her.
“It made me think twice about just ghosting and going home and never calling,” the wrestler said.
Both Hulk Hogan and Sky Had Been Married Twice Before
Daily is a longtime yoga instructor, and, like Hogan, she was married twice before. She has three kids: Maddox, Hayden, and Leighton. Hogan said that he got along great with her kids, and he told TMZ that he immediately fell in love with them. Hogan and Sky posted a lot of pictures enjoying time with family.
Daily admitted that she didn’t know much about his wrestling career before they met.
“I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of TV growing up. I knew who Hulk Hogan was obviously, but I hadn’t seen any of his fights or watched any wrestling,” she told the Daily Mail. “But I think he liked the fact that he had to ask me for my number as opposed to everyone else just jamming their number into his hand.”
“He knew I was interested in Terry, not Hulk,” she added. “He swept me off my feet. He is my ultimate male.”
The first Instagram photo Sky posted of her and Hogan was on March 10, 2022.
Ten days after that first selfie, she posted a video of the two of them being playful as they sat together on a plane en route to a spring break vacation.
