Linda Hogan, Hulk Hogan’s first wife, believes her family has become fragmented since she and the WWE star separated.
The former TV personality, 65, said on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 26, that the retired WWE star, 71, is a “sex addict” and “liar,” and that she is separated from their 37-year-old daughter, Brooke Hogan.
“It’s been 15, however long, years since I left Hulk Hogan, and my family is in the worst mess,” she said in her Instagram Stories.
The pair were married from 1983 until July 2009, when their divorce was formalized. The Hogan family rose to prominence together through their VH1 reality show, Hogan Knows Best. The show ran for four seasons, from 2005 to 2007.
“Brooke does not talk to us. Linda said that Brooke and Steven Oleksy’s private wedding in 2022 and the birth of their twins, Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene, in January 2025, were not disclosed to them.
Linda claimed that Brooke stopped communicating with her after getting into a quarrel with her father around eight years ago. “I don’t know why that affected our relationship, but she cut me out too,” she told me.
Linda stated that she is still in a relationship with her and the WWE star’s 34-year-old son, Nick Hogan. “He’s still such a good boy.”
“I have to be honest about what I went through in my marriage,” she told me. “And what it entailed and what it [has] caused over the years.”
“He’s an absolute liar.” He’s a sex addict,” she added. “Yet, he persists, claiming that he is promoting his beer, which is a genuine American beer.”
“I’ve given him more opportunities to come back and make up the family,” she told me. “It has been 20 years, and I am still feeling this way. Could someone kindly clarify that? I would like to add, “I enjoy living alone.” Believe me, I aspire to never marry again after him.
After Hulk and Linda separated, he married Jennifer McDaniel, his second wife, in 2010. They got divorced in 2021. He then married his current wife, Sky Daily, in September 2023.
Brooke issued an Instagram post on her absence from Hulk and Daily’s wedding, stating that the Hogan family dynamics had “experienced a LOT of change.”
“For my journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family and am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my personal beliefs, goals, and values,” she wrote at the moment.
