Hulk Hogan's wife Sky breaks silence after his death in heartbreaking post
The former wrestler died Thursday at the age of 71, after medics were reportedly called to his home in Clearwater, Florida. While a cause of death hasn't been revealed, TMZ reported he experienced 'cardiac arrest.'
Sky, who married Hulk in 2023, broke her silence Friday on Instagram, sharing a sweet picture of herself kissing him on the cheek. In the caption, she also shared details about his physical health before his death.
'I wasn't ready for this…and my heart is in pieces,' Sky, 46, wrote. 'He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.
'This loss is sudden and impossible to process,' she continued. 'To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.'
She added that her husband loved his fans a great deal, 'despite his growing physical discomfort.'
'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,' Sky continued. 'He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he's been welcomed home.'
'Please keep his family and all of us who loved him in your prayers as we try to navigate this new reality,' she concluded.
The yoga instructor got engaged to Hulk in July 2023, after a year of dating. They officially tied the knot in September 2023.
Sky was Hulk's third wife. The WWE legend was married to Linda Hogan from 1993 to 2009 and then to Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021. He and Linda shared two children, Brooke, 37, and Nick, 36. However, Brooke has been estranged from her parents for nearly a decade.
Only days before Hulk's death, Linda shared a throwback photo with her ex-husband. She posted a snap from 1996, when they attended a convention in Las Vegas.
She simply captioned the post: 'The good old days !'
Before meeting Hulk, Sky welcomed three children of her own, but she keeps their lives out of the spotlight.
Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hulk skyrocketed to fame in the 1980s, bringing professional wrestling into the mainstream. He went on to become an eight-time WrestleMania headliner and six-time World Wrestling Entertainment champion, in addition to an actor and reality television personality.
Hulk has been mourned by the WWE, fellow wrestlers, and political figures. On his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump issued a tribute to Hulk, who became a fixture during Trump's 2024 re-election campaign, appearing at the Republican National Convention to appeal to voters.
'We lost a great friend today, the 'Hulkster.' Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart,' Trump wrote.
He continued: 'He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week. He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive.'

Sources Reveal If Britney Spears Is Actually Planning an MTV VMAs Performance
THE RUNDOWN Britney Spears won't be making an award show comeback performance anytime soon. After rumors circulated online that Spears would hit the stage at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, possibly bringing her son Jayden along, multiple sources told TMZ that there is no truth to the speculation. She was 'never approached by the award show to perform, was never on the performers' list, and there are no plans in motion behind the scenes,' the outlet wrote. Still, Spears's influence may well be felt at the ceremony. At last year's VMAs, artists like Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae were in Spears-inspired looks. Megan famously wore a python around her neck—a clear nod to Spears's iconic 2001 performance of 'I'm a Slave 4 U.' McRae, meanwhile, also paid homage to Spears's 2001 VMA appearance by wearing a sheer lace Roberto Cavalli dress nearly identical to Spears's red carpet outfit. Had Spears performed at the 2025 ceremony, it would have marked her first VMA appearance in nearly a decade. She last attended in 2016, when she took the stage alongside G-Eazy for their collaboration 'Make Me...,' from her ninth studio album, Glory. The MTV Video Music Awards will air on Sept. 7, 2025.

Glammed-out food influencer cooks enormous meals for the hungry — but critics accuse her of doing it for ‘clout'
Call her Robin Food. A Lebanese influencer has divided people online after filming herself prepping mammoth meals for the poor to shame food-wasting celebrities. Surthany Hejeij, 33, has amassed over 15.7 followers on Instagram with her culinary clips, which always begin with a person discarding an obscene amount of food. They then cut to heartrending footage of starving children, before the bread-slinging benefactor — who goes by @surthycooks on the platform — whips up behemoth portions of food and distributes them to children and their families in impoverished communities. 3 The bombshell preps a giant pizza for the poor. Instagram/SurthyCooks In one of her clips, with over 12 million views, a man can be seen dumping a huge portion of rice in the trash. The clip then transitions to Hejeij cooking up a jacuzzi-like vat of meat while clad in a scintillating silver dress and sporting immaculate makeup. The bombshell chops up vegetables, mixes them with the protein and stuffs all the accoutrements into tacos, which she then distributes to famished youths — like the Red Cross meets 'Rachael Ray.' In another clip, the brunette bombshell is seen delivering more food to those in need. 3 'You are [an] amazing person with a good heart,' said one fan while praising the influencer's charitable acts. Instagram/SurthyCooks 3 Hejeij hands out food to starving children. Instagram/SurthyCooks The clips melted hearts online with one touched viewer writing, 'straight up bawling after seeing those kids' eyes.' Another wrote that Hejeij was 'single-handedly restoring faith in humanity!' 'You are [an] amazing person with a good heart,' gushed a third. However, others were less thrilled by her campaign to feed the needy, with many accusing her of exhibiting a savior mentality and simply doing the deed for online 'clout.' While others agreed there was a performative aspect to her heartfelt acts, they believed that her freelance food distribution initiatives did more good than harm. 'She's doing it for views' at least she's doing something beneficial tf?' declared one while defending the meal-slinging Mother Teresa. Others pointed out that her videos shed light on the global food surplus problem, which sees 80 million tons of food wasted in the US alone each year. Hejeij's not the only person highlighting the mounting issue of food waste. New York City influencer Anna Sacks — aka the Trashwalker — exposes the country's decadent excesses by filming herself exhuming mountains of perfectly salvageable food and other goods from garbage cans in the Big Apple.
