‘In pieces’: Hulk Hogan’s wife shares heartbreaking post after wrestling legend’s death

Hulk Hogan’s wife has shared a gut-wrenching post on social media after the wrestling legend’s shock death.

The heartbroken wife of the late Hulk Hogan has spoken out following the wrestling legend’s shocking death at the age of 71.

Sky Daily, who married Hogan in 2023, said her “heart is in pieces” in a gut-wrenching Instagram post.

“I wasn’t ready for this … and my heart is in pieces,” she began.

“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.”

Hogan was pronounced dead shortly after 11am Thursday morning (US time).

Medics were dispatched to the WWE Hall of Famer’s Clearwater, Florida home before 10am following a “cardiac arrest” call.

Speculation about Hogan’s health had percolated in the weeks leading up to his passing.

In June, Bubba the Love Sponge, the host of a titular Tampa-based radio program, reported Hogan wasn’t doing well.

“Allegedly Hogan is in the hospital and I’ve heard people say that he might not make it,” he claimed.

A rep for Hogan addressed the allegations, telling TMZ in June that “he’s just dealing with more of the same ailments he’s had for years.”

Daily, who married Hogan in 2023, also hit back at rumours her husband was in poor health.

“No, he’s definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage … none of those rumours are true,” Sky wrote,” she wrote in an Instagram Story earlier this month.

“ … We’ve been in and out of the hospital to support that recovery. So truly, there’s no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up. He’s healing, and we’re taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.”

Daily added Friday that Hogan, “despite growing physical discomfort,” wanted to always “show up” for his loyal supporters.

“Hulk loved his fans so much and 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,” she wrote on Instagram.

“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.”

Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, married three times.

Prior to his union with Daily, Hogan wed his first wife, Linda, in 1983. The couple, who shared daughter Brooke, 37, and son Nick, 34, finalised their divorce in 2009.

Hogan later moved on with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010. They divorced in 2022.

He and Daily were baptised together 18 months before Hogan’s death.
