Hogan is survived by his third wife Sky, who he wed in 2023, children Brooke, 37, and Nick, 34, who he shared with first wife Linda Claridge, and two grandchildren. has contacted representatives for Hulk Hogan for comment and has yet to hear back. His representative said in a statement last month: 'He's had problems with his back for years but there's no emergency.' Hogan had previously opened up about undergoing '25 surgeries in the past decade.' Speaking on Jake Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast last year, he said: 'Ten of them were back surgeries. I've had both knees and hips replaced, shoulders — everything.' Fans were left concerned for Hogan when he appeared as a special guest on Fox & Friends at the start of May while sporting a worrying new look. Renowned for his deep tan, the WWE great's skin looked particularly weathered on air, while his usual white beard appeared to be dyed black despite his goatee and hair being left white - making for a strange contrast. One viewer wrote online: 'Tell Hulk Hogan his face is dirty, clean that soot off.' Another said: 'Does anyone believe this is Hulk Hogan?' A third added: 'Hulk Hogan giving off Wooly Willy vibes this am on Fox & Friends.' Hogan was on the show to promote his new wrestling league but appeared to ramble as the interview went on.

He was undoubtedly one of the most popular and successful babyfaces of all-time and the catalyst to what made WrestleMania so successful, main eventing eight of the first nine events. More recently, Hogan became a celebrity endorser for Trump's presidential campaign in the United States, which he went on to win.

Donald Trump Jr posted to X, 'R.I.P to a legend' and added a selfie of himself with the wrestling star. Fellow wrestling icon Ric Flair wrote, ' I Am Absolutely Shocked To Hear About The Passing Of My Close Friend @HulkHogan ! Hulk Has Been By My Side Since We Started In The Wrestling Business. An Incredible Athlete, Talent, Friend, And Father! Our Friendship Has Meant The World To Me. 'He Was Always There For Me Even When I Didn't Ask For Him To Be. He Was One Of The First To Visit Me When I Was In The Hospital With A 2% Chance Of Living, And He Prayed By My Bedside. Hulk Also Lent Me Money When Reid Was Sick. Hulkster, No One Will Ever Compare To You! Rest In Peace My Friend!' Former MLB pitcher John Rocker posted, 'A patriot, and a true American. RIP Hulk Hogan.'
