Hulk Hogan‘s ex-wife, Linda, shares a statement on her late husband’s passing.
Linda Hogan and Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) were married for 24 years and had two children, Nick and Brooke. She also appeared on the reality TV show, “Hogan Knows Best.”
While the show gave fans a glimpse into the Hogans’ family life, all was not what it seemed. In 2007, Linda and The Hulkster separated and had a bitter legal battle that finally culminated in their divorce in 2009.
The cause for the separation was attributed to Hulk Hogan’s infidelity. Despite being divorced, Linda has always spoken positively of Hogan and even defended him on multiple occasions.

Taking to her Instagram, Linda shared an old picture of the two of them together and expressed that she was devastated as she believed the WWE Icon would make a full recovery.
Linda added that she loved The Hulkster and that his cheating on her crushed her, even though she understood why he did it.
Linda also said that even after separating, she never got over Bollea and never had a real relationship ever since. She also adds that while they didn’t see or speak to each other, her son Nick gave her constant updates about the Hulkster. Her statement was as follows:
“I had no idea he would pass away this soon. We all really thought he would make a comeback! Big surprise. We are all devastated. It’s hitting me so hard. I loved Hulkster more than he loved me. It hurt when he cheated. But he was sooo famous. I sort of understood, but it was crushing. It hurt. I [never] got over him or started a real relationship [with] anyone.. I missed HIM! I’ve been weeping all day.
The finality. It’s just shocking. We spent every minute together for so many years. I’ve known him since he was 28 yrs old! I was 22. I still love him. Even [though] I never spoke or saw him, Nick did, and Nick would tell me things and vice versa. Just news about life. I still felt.. although broken.. we still were a family. It’s so hard to know he’s just gone. I tried to stay strong for Nick, but I’m melting down now. It’s very sad. I love you Hulkster. You were my man. The only man for me. RIP”
