Sky Daily, the wife of WWE icon Hulk Hogan, has shared a moving tribute following the sudden death of her husband, real name Terry Bollea, at the age of 71.
The wrestling legend passed away on Tuesday after reportedly suffering a serious medical issue, with emergency responders initially treating the case as a suspected cardiac arrest.
He was pronounced dead at 11:17 AM at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida. According to police, no foul play is suspected, and a routine medical investigation is underway.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Daily, 46, expressed her grief over the devastating loss. Alongside a photo of her kissing Hogan on the cheek, she wrote: “I wasn’t ready for this… and my heart is in pieces.”
“He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them,” she continued. “I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.”
The emotional tribute reflected not only on Hogan’s global fame but also on his personal life as a husband and father. “To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.”
She praised the late star’s dedication to his fans, noting that despite ongoing physical discomfort, Hogan always made an effort to engage with those who supported him.
“Hulk loved his fans so much… You meant everything to him,” she said. “He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he’s been welcomed home.”
Daily also asked the public to pray for Hogan’s loved ones: “Please keep his family and all of us who loved him in your prayers as we try to navigate this new reality.”
Fans flooded the comments section with condolences and messages of support. One commenter wrote, “I’m so sorry for your loss, it was crystal clear how much he loved you.” Another added, “Sending so much love and comfort during this heartbreaking time!”
Hogan and Daily began dating in 2022 and became engaged the following year. They married weeks later in an intimate ceremony in Florida, which the wrestling star described at the time as the beginning of a new chapter, captioning wedding photos: “My life starts now!”
This marked Hogan’s third marriage. He was previously married to Linda Claridge, with whom he shares two children, Nick and Brooke.
His second marriage to Jennifer McDaniel ended in divorce in 2021.
Brooke Hogan was notably absent from his final wedding. In a prior statement, she explained she was creating distance from her family to focus on healing and aligning with her values.
Tributes from across the entertainment and sports world poured in following Hogan’s death, including messages from fellow wrestling stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena, who credited Hogan with inspiring generations of wrestlers and fans alike.
The official cause of death has yet to be confirmed, though early reports suggest a cardiac-related event. Authorities have stated that there is no indication of foul play.
