Sky Daly, Hulk Hogan’s wife, is experiencing a challenge following the unexpected passing of the wrestling icon.
Daly, 49, expressed her grief over her husband’s death, which occurred on July 24, in an emotional Instagram post, sharing, “I wasn’t ready for this… my heart is shattered.”
“He had been facing some health challenges, and we were hopeful we’d get through them. I truly believed in his strength. I thought we had more time together,” she said. “This loss is so sudden and hard to process.”
She reflected, “To everyone else, he was a legend… But to me, he was simply my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My everything.”
Daly highlighted Hogan’s dedication to his fans, saying he cherished them. “Even with the increasing physical challenges, he signed autographs, took pictures, and connected with everyone who supported him,” she noted.
“You meant the world to him,” she said, emphasizing his faith. “I find comfort knowing his soul is at peace and that he is welcomed home.”
She also asked fans to remember Hogan’s friends and family during this difficult adjustment.
Hogan’s representation confirmed his passing that morning, stating, “We are heartbroken. He was an incredible man and friend.” Paramedics were called to Clearwater, Florida, where it was reported he suffered a cardiac arrest.
Just earlier, Daly had reassured fans about Hogan’s recovery following “severe surgery,” dismissing rumors about him being in a coma. “No, he’s definitely not in a coma!” she had insisted, clarifying that he was strong and not facing brain damage. “Those rumors are simply false.”
She had explained that he was recovering from a significant procedure and urged everyone not to panic. “He is healing, and we’re taking it day by day with love, strength, and patience,” she concluded.
Daly and Hogan had an intimate wedding ceremony two months after they had been together for a year. Previously, Hogan was married to Linda Hogan from 1983 until 2009, and they have two children, Brooke, 37, and Nick, 34.
The former couple’s split was controversial, with Linda alleging in her 2011 book that Hogan had been abusive. Hogan denied these claims and even sued her for defamation.
Hogan married Jennifer McDaniel in 2010, but their union ended after 11 years. In recent remarks, he acknowledged struggles with alcohol during his earlier marriages and expressed a desire for change in his current one.
