Paramedics were called to the scene, but the wrestling world lost one of its most enduring figures.

In an emotional tribute, she revealed that while Hogan had been 'dealing with some health issues,' she never expected to lose him so soon.

Calling the loss 'sudden and impossible to process,' Daily opened up about the man behind the fame. 'To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.' Alongside a photo of the couple, she remembered how Hogan pushed through his physical pain to remain present for his fans. 'He did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him,' she wrote. A post shared by Sky Daily Hogan (@ Daily also spoke of Hogan's deep Christian faith, finding comfort in the belief that his soul is now at peace. 'He was a believer in Christ… I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he's been welcomed home,' she said. She ended her post with a heartfelt request for fans to keep the Hogan family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. This was Hogan's third marriage. He was first married to Linda Claridge from 1983 to 2009, with whom he had two children, Brooke and Nick.

Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal: Astronomer Hires Chris Martins Ex-Wife Gwyneth Paltrow As Temporary Spokesperson
New Delhi: Astronomer, the AI tech company that shot to global fame after the Coldplay kiss cam scandal, has now made an unexpected PR move to take what many are calling 'revenge.' The company has hired Hollywood actress and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow who also happens to be Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's ex-wife as a 'temporary spokesperson.' This comes after a video from the band's Boston concert, shown on the stadium's kiss cam, unintentionally exposed an affair between Astronomer's former CEO Andy Byron and ex-HR head Kristin Cabot. The clip went viral, and both employees have since resigned. In a new tongue-in-cheek video posted on Astronomer's official X (formerly Twitter) account, Paltrow says: 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer.' Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. — Astronomer (@astronomerio) July 25, 2025 She adds, 'Astronomers have gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones." However, rather than directly addressing the scandal, the Iron Man actress pivots smoothly to promote the company's data workflow tools and AI products. The video begins with the caption, 'OMG! What the actual F,' before cutting to Paltrow who brightly declares that Astronomer is the 'best place to run Apache Airflow.' She adds, 'We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation.' When asked, 'How is your social media team holding up?', viewers braced for a response about the scandal. But instead, Paltrow promoted the company's Beyond Analytics conference, scheduled for September, adding that vacancies are still open. 'We will now be returning to what we do best: Delivering game-changing results to our customers,' she concludes. 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' Netizens React: One user wrote: 'I want to know what prompt you used on what system to come up with this PR response because chef's kiss.' Another exclaimed: 'You got Chris Martin's ex-wife???!!! Savage.' A third added: 'Astronomer, whose CEO was caught cheating on his wife with the head of HR at a Coldplay concert, just released an ad starring Coldplay's lead singer's ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. Yes, they think adultery and marriage is a joke… Other than that, clever marketing.' Another summed it up with: 'You hired the Coldplay singer's ex-wife. Extraordinary.'

Panerai's Mediteranean Experience
The lissome ballet of the bottle nosed dolphins as they dive, dance and ride the waves of the Ionian sea is hynotic; the majestic Eilean breathily heaves in determined chase as we sprawl across its polished Burmese teak deck, bubbling prosecco by the side, armed with cameras in focus, waiting to populate a perpetually hungry Instagram feed. Under the warm Sicilian sun, cruising off the coast of Taormina, with the grand dame Mt Etna, benignly chilling in the distance, it could have been just another idyllic travel memory. Instead, the sparkling moment is just one of many specially curated and created by the luxury watch brand Panerai for its Experiences Program.
