Hulk Hogan is one of the most popular professional wrestlers of all-time and is considered to be the most popular wrestler of the 1980s. The wrestler has been married twice and fathered two children.
Born Terry Gene Bollea, the professional wrestler is better known by his ring name as Hulk Hogan. He is now a former professional wrestler, actor, television personality, entrepreneur, and musician.
Outside of the ring, Hogan went on to star in the reality show "Hogan Knows Best." The show focused on his personal life. Here is a look at his two marriages and two children.

On November 20, 2007, Linda filed for divorce in Pinellas County, Florida. A year later, she revealed that the allegations about Hogan's infidelity led her to her decision.
In 2009 Hogan released an autobiography where he admitted that Linda suspected he was cheating on her on numerous occasions but denied the allegations. He adamantly denied the allegations.

However, during an appearance on Inside Edition, the former VH1 star, Linda, tearfully opened up and addressed the adult tape of Hogan that surfaced around the time of the interview, saying:
“I want the world to know how I feel about him. I gave that man everything. I gave him everything that I had..... My kids to this day are still reeling, and they can’t get their feet back on planet earth,” she said. “I can’t get my life back on track either. I don’t know, what am I supposed to do? Start over now that I’m 57? I don’t know where I fit in in this world any more.”

In 2008, Hogan moved on and started dating Jennifer McDaniel. He popped the question in November 2009 and the pair married a year later on December 14, 2010.
As expected, the ceremony had its fair share of drama. According to some reports, the police were called to the scene after a photographer reportedly tried to sneak into the wedding and subsequently ended up in a fight with Ron Howard, a family friend that was the security detail for the day.
