BREAKING: Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has passed away at the age of 70, just months after his heartfelt baptism alongside his wife, Sky Daily. The news was confirmed early Thursday morning, leaving fans and loved ones in shock.
In a statement from his representatives, it was revealed, “Unfortunately, we must confirm that Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, passed away this morning. We are heartbroken. He was such a great human being and friend.” Hogan reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest, according to a 911 call obtained by TMZ, and had been facing serious health issues in recent months.
Hogan and Daily, who were married in September 2023 at the Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida, embraced their faith in December 2023. The wrestling icon described their baptism as “total surrender and dedication to Jesus,” sharing his joy through an emotional Instagram post featuring moments from the ceremony. Both wore white, with Hogan sporting his signature look of a T-shirt and durag, while Daily donned a white robe.
In July 2023, the couple had announced their engagement after dating for a year. Daily had previously addressed concerns over Hogan’s health, refuting rumors about his condition on her Instagram Story. “No, he’s definitely not in a coma!” she wrote, clarifying that he was recovering from an intense surgical procedure, the four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF).
Hogan’s official cause of death has not yet been disclosed, but his passing has left a profound impact on his family and the wrestling community. He is survived by his two children, Brooke Hogan, 37, and Nick Hogan, 34, from his previous marriage to Linda Hogan. His second marriage to Jennifer McDaniel lasted from 2010 to 2021.
As fans and colleagues remember Hogan, his legacy as a wrestling icon and beloved figure will undoubtedly endure. The outpouring of tributes highlights the emotional connection he forged with his audience throughout his storied career.
