Watch: Hulk Hogan's Ex Linda Hogan Shared Peek Into Their "Good Old Days" Days Before His Death

Linda Hogan took a look back at her time with ex Hulk Hogan during his final days.

Just four days before the wrestling legend died at the age of 71, his ex—they were married for 26 years until their 2009 split—shared a throwback photo of the couple to Instagram.

Alongside the July 20 post, Linda, who shares kids Brooke Hogan and Nick Hogan with the WWE star, simply captioned her post, "The good old days!"

On July 24, Hulk's rep confirmed to E! News that the wrestling star (real name Terry Bollea) died at his Clearwater, Florida home. Authorities confirmed in a statement to E! News that the nature of the call was for a cardiac arrest. 

Hulk was treated by Clearwater Fire and Rescue crews before being taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Most recently, Linda, Hulk and their kids have been in the spotlight amid an ongoing family rift.

“I'm okay with most things, but today, something hit,” Linda said in a video posted on her Instagram Stories in March. “It's been 15—or longer—years since I left Hulk Hogan and my family is in the worst mess.”

Especially her relationship with Brooke, also a mom of two children with hockey player Steven Oleksy.

"Brooke doesn't talk to us,” she revealed. “She's had twins. She got married, she didn't tell us… She had a huge fight with Terry. I don't know how that reflected onto me, but she cut me out too.”

As for why she decided to detail their difficulties, the Hogan Knows Best alum wanted to share her side of the story.

“I have to be honest about what I went through in my marriage with Terry as Hulk Hogan,” Linda continued, “and what it entailed, and what it has caused over the years.”

In 2023, Hulk—who was married to Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2022—tied the knot with Sky Daily. And though his son Nick was in attendance for the ceremony, Brooke was notably absent.

“As we all experience this with our own families, the dynamics of a family unit continuously change over the years,” Brooke wrote on Instagram at the time. “For my own journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family.”
