We will continue to honor the unique ways everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence,' the company said. 'Great jeans flatter everyone.' 8 Sydney Sweeney in her ad for American Eagle.

Hulk Hogan's wife shreds ‘heartbreakingly misleading' stories after his funeral

Sky Daily, the wife of the late Hulk Hogan, cautioned that there is false information being spread after the wrestling icon was laid to rest in a private funeral on Tuesday in Clearwater, Fla. Hogan, who died on July 24 from a heart attack at the age of 71, and his family, including ex-wife Linda and their two kids, Brooke and Nick, have been in the headlines over behind-the-scenes drama. 'There are heartbreakingly misleading media stories created by faceless AI accounts or by people not close enough to truly know what was happening,' Sky, 46, wrote Wednesday in an Instagram post, which included a tribute video to the WWE Hall of Famer. 'Please be patient and know this: he was deeply loved, well cared for, and surrounded by that love until his very last moment.' Sky did not name anyone or mention a specific story. Her remarks came after Brooke's appearance on the 'Bubba the Love Sponge' show Tuesday, when she mentioned Sky's alleged history with Scientology. 4 Hulk Hogan and his wife Sky Daily. Instagram/Sky Daily Brooke told Bubba the Love Sponge, a former close friend of Hogan before the wrestler's sex tape scandal, that she took herself out of her father's will because she was 'scared,' adding, 'I don't want to fight Scientology. I don't want somebody that I love to get knocked off.' Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, had been at the center of conspiracy theories, as rumors had been circulating about the state of his health in the weeks before his death. Since mid-June, Bubba the Love Sponge reported that the iconic wrestler was in the ICU and on his deathbed — which a rep for Hogan, as well as Sky, denied. 4 Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan. Instagram/Brooke Hogan Hogan was taken by ambulance from his home in Clearwater, Fla., on July 24, with a 911 call citing 'cardiac arrest.' He died at the hospital. The next day, Sky called his death 'sudden' in an Instagram message. Hogan previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat, according to the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center records obtained by Page Six. His manner of death was ruled natural, according to the cremation summary approval report. 4 Hulk Hogan at the US premiere of the film 'War of the Worlds,' at the Zigfield Theatre in New York, June 23, 2005. REUTERS Sky said Hogan has not yet been cremated, as their family has questions about his medical care. 'Terry chose cremation knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal,' she wrote in her Instagram post Wednesday. 'He has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first. Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect.' Of Hogan's funeral, Sky said it was 'one of the most beautiful and moving days I have ever experienced.' 4 New York Post cover for Friday, July 25, 2025. Front Page. R.I.P. Hulk. Wrestling superstar, pop-culture icon Hogan dead at 71. csuarez 'In the same church where we were married and baptized together, we gathered with family, friends, and loved ones to honor a life that touched millions,' she wrote. 'The church was filled with stories… some that brought tears, others that made us laugh through those tears… and with every memory shared, you could feel the love that surrounded him. 'The pastor of our church prepared this moving video for the service that reflects his unwavering Christian faith- a faith that anchored him and brought him peace every day.' Brooke did not attend the funeral and instead, she said she honored her father in a private celebration of life at the beach with her husband, former NHL defenseman Steve Olesky, and their infant twins. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals,' she wrote on Instagram. 'He didn't want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways – and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves… and the sunset.'
