Hulk Hogan’s Ex-Wife Posts Old Photo Days Before His Death

Linda Hogan, Hulk Hogan’s ex‑wife, shared a nostalgic Instagram post just days before his untimely death, reflecting with bittersweet sentiment on “the good old days” from their long marriage.

Earlier this week, Linda posted a throwback photo of the former couple from 1996 at a NATPE Convention in Las Vegas.

Linda and Hulk had their arms wrapped around each other in the throwback photo, with the wrestling icon dressed in his signature look, a yellow-and-red tie-dye tank top emblazoned with “Hulkster,” a matching red-and-yellow bandana, and tight red pants cinched with a yellow belt.

Hulk suffered cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home just days later, sadly passing away.

Many users took to the recent post to send their well wishes to Linda.

“I’m so sorry Linda, I know you guys were not together, but we’re my favorite couple like soulmates. 😔,” one user said.

“Sorry for your loss. I know you guys weren’t together, but I know you once had a life with him and he gave you two beautiful children. 😢❤️,” another wrote.

Hulk & Linda’s Tumultuous Love Story

Linda and Hulk were married from 1983 until their divorce was finalized in 2009, and they share two children, daughter Brooke (37) and son Nick (35).

Earlier this year, Linda shared on Instagram that she was estranged from Brooke, and had not spoken with her in quite some time.

“It’s been 15-however long years since I left Hulk Hogan, and my family is the worst mess,” Linda wrote. “Brooke doesn’t talk to us. She had twins, she got married [and] she didn’t tell us,” she continued.

Linda said that she was on good terms with her son Nick, but that she was still “sad” about her and Hulk’s marriage ending.

“Hogan Knows Best”

The family starred in Hogan Knows Best, a reality TV show that aired on VH1 from 2005 to 2007, centered around the personal and family life of Hulk following his wrestling career.

Although the show was a massive hit and began by showing a tight-knit, lovable family, dysfunction quickly unraveled behind the scenes.

Nick was involved in a devastating car crash that left his friend with a permanent brain injury. Not long after, Linda filed for divorce, citing Hulk’s infidelities.
