In August 2023, retired WWE champion Hulk Hogan posted a photo with Sky Daily and wrote that he was "happier than I've ever been."
The WWE champion, who retired from the sport in 2012, married Daily in a small Florida ceremony on September 22, 2023, TMZ reported. It came just two months after the couple announced their engagement in a video shared on Instagram. Hogan had been dating Daily for more than a year, per People. They had a 25-year age gap: Hogan was 70 and Daily was 45 when they tied the knot.
Hogan, real name Terry Gene Bollea, died on Thursday at the age of 71. The Clearwater Police Department confirmed his death, saying in a statement that personnel had responded to a medical call for cardiac arrest.
The American wrestling star had previously been married twice.
He married Linda Claridge, the mother of his daughter Brooke and son Nick, in 1983. The couple were together for over 20 years but called it quits in 2007, and their divorce was finalized in 2009, People magazine reported.
The following year, he wed Jennifer McDaniel, but the pair separated in late 2021 after 11 years together. Their divorce was finalized in 2022.
Here is everything we know about Sky Daily and her relationship with Hogan.
Hogan and Daily met in a bar
Daily shared a video of Hogan giving a speech at a friend's wedding in July 2023. In his speech, according to the Los Angeles Times, Hogan recounted how the two met at a bar.
Per the wrestler, he sent a drink over to a group of women — Daily included — and when one of her bolder friends approached him to thank him, he jokingly asked: "Who's the blonde?"
"So I spotted Sky and we sat down, we talked," he said in the video. "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."
It turned out it was the bride, who insisted that he go on a date with Daily because "she's a nice girl."
"It made me think twice about just ghosting and going home and never calling," he said.
Daily is 25 years younger than Hogan
According to People magazine, Daily is 25 years younger than her late husband, who celebrated his 71st birthday on August 11.
Both of Hogan's previous wives were also younger than him.
Hogan was 30 when he tied the knot for the first time to Claridge, who was 24. His second bride, McDaniel, was 36, and he was 57, when they wed.
Daily worked as a yoga instructor and influencer
Daily's Instagram bio previously stated that she worked in the fitness industry as a yoga instructor. She still posts yoga and fitness content, but appears to also work as a lifestyle influencer. As of July 2025, her bio reads "Hogan wife and mom life" and includes affiliate links to her Amazon Storefront and Like to Know It profile, where followers can shop for her fashion looks.
Daily is also a parent
Daily has three children of her own. They attended the couple's wedding. Her two sons and daughter can be seen in the video Hogan posted of the wedding.
Daily's three children, along with Hogan's son Nick Hogan and his partner Tana Lea, appear to have been the only ones who bore witness to the nuptials.
Sharing the news of his marriage on Instagram, Hogan posted a video compilation of the special day, which he captioned: "My new life starts now!"
Daily shared Hogan's political views
Daily accompanied Hogan to the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and wrote on Instagram that she was "so proud" of his speech. The couple sat with members of the Trump family including President Donald Trump, Lara Trump, and Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife.
Daily has shared photos on Instagram with Trump, first lady Melania Trump, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whom she called "a true patriot who served this country." She and Hogan also attended an event at Mar-a-Lago in October, per her Instagram.
