Who is Sky Daily, Hulk Hogan's 3rd wife and last real-life tag-team partner

Terry Gene Bollea, known to the world as Hulk Hogan, redefined professional wrestling through his 'Hulkamania'. Throughout his storied WWE career, Hogan shared the spotlight with legendary tag-team partners like T, Randy Savage, and The Rock, headlining epic battles that scripted professional wrestling's golden era. But in his final years, Hogan's most notable partner off the ring was his third wife, Sky Daily, a yoga instructor and accountant whose relationship with the wrestling icon drew attention for their 25-year age gap.

Hulk Hogan died on July 24 due to cardiac arrest at his Florida home. He was 71.

Sky Daily wasn't a public figure until she married Hulk Hogan. The two were together for over a year before tying the knot in an intimate ceremony on September 22, 2023.

According to an older Instagram bio cited by Newsweek, she worked in the fitness industry and also helped small businesses with accounting and related services.

Hogan and Daily made their first public appearance together on February 26, 2022, at a Bret Michaels concert in Clearwater, Florida.

In a video Hogan posted to social media, he introduced Daily to the singer backstage, referring to her as "my girl".

The appearance came soon after Hogan’s divorce from his second wife, Jennifer McDaniel, was finalised. Hogan and McDaniel had been together for 11 years.

Before McDaniel, Hogan was married to Linda Claridge, the mother of his children Brooke and Nick. They tied the knot in 1983 and were married for more than 20 years before separating in 2007. Their divorce was finalised in 2009.

HOW HULK HOGAN MET SKY DAILY

The story of how Hogan met Daily is one he shared publicly during a wedding speech in July 2023. Daily had been out one evening with her friend Sabrina Nova when Hogan bought drinks for their group. As he was leaving the bar, Nova chased after him, tapped on his car window, and encouraged him to talk to Daily. "She’s a nice girl," Nova reportedly told him, according to People Magazine.

Although the couple largely kept their relationship private and avoided regular posts on social media, Hogan did share key moments with his fans. In March 2022, he confirmed their relationship on X (formerly known as Twitter), writing, "Yo Maniacs just for the record, the Facebook and Instagram posts are of me and my girlfriend Sky, I am officially divorced, sorry I thought everyone already knew, love my Maniacs4Life".

A little over a year later, Hogan publicly revealed that he had proposed to Daily. He told TMZ that the proposal took place at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida, and that he was "very nervous". The wedding took place in September 2023 in a small, intimate ceremony attended by family and close friends. Daily’s three children were present, and her youngest daughter even matched her in white on the special day, according to People.

In December 2023, Hogan and Daily were baptised together at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida. Hogan posted about the moment on social media, calling it "the greatest day of my life" and writing, "Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life. No worries, no hate, no judgment only love!"

Their relationship lasted until Hogan's death. The wrestling legend passed away at his Florida home after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 70 years old.

Terry Gene Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, had one of the most iconic careers in professional wrestling. A central figure in WWE's golden era, Hogan shared the ring with legends like Mr T, Randy Savage, and The Rock. He was a six-time WWE Champion and a six-time WCW Champion, and he won the Royal Rumble twice. His 1,474-day reign as WWE Champion remains the third-longest in the company’s history.

Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, once in 2005 as an individual and again in 2020 as part of the nWo faction. But while fans around the world will remember his legacy inside the ring, his final chapter was defined by a quieter partnership with Sky Daily.
