Furthermore, news of Hulk Hogan cheating on Linda was revealed after Gawker released a video of Hulk sleeping with his best friend's wife.
The Hulk Hogan Vs. Gawker scandal blew up in media a while back after Gawker released a video of Hogan having sex with the wife of his then-pal Bubba the Love Sponge while he was married to Linda. And while he successfully sued Gawker for over $100 Million in charges for breaching his privacy, the most pain was felt by his children and ex-wife, who had to deal with the pain of infidelity.
"My kids to this day are still reeling, and they can't get their feet back on planet earth. 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 anymore."
Linda, on the other hand, believed he doesn't deserve a single penny from the $100 million. She further talked about how Hulk ruined his family and scarred his children and stated that she didn't plan to forgive Hulk ever saying,
“YOU have single handedly ruined our 25-year marriage and our family ... my trust, my love, my future, our future family with grandchildren, holidays, weddings, our kids' lives, homes, their ability to trust, our poor animals, friends, neighbors, your career, finances, trademarks, retirement, your legacy, your reputation, your health ... even your soul ... You lost it ALL. You took me for granted and never appreciated me or our beautiful family ... blaming me for your horrendous mistakes. And yet you continue in life this very way, still ... Hiding behind those sunglasses, false smile, oh ... and the bandana! Until you can really apologize, to me ... and to our children ... I will never ever forgive you.”

Linda, after her divorce, made a settlement and sought 70 percent of Hulk assets. Her ex-husband and also agreed to give his ex-wife 40 percent ownership of his companies as well as more than 70 percent of their liquid assets.
Though Linda did go through a rough time at least, she made sure she got paid what she deserved and moved on with her then-boyfriend Charlie Hill.
But in 2018, Lind had to knock on the doors of the court as her ex-husband allegedly hid his asset and refused to pay her 40 percent ownership of his companies.
Linda Hogan Issues With Her Boyfriend: Dating
According to news published in the Daily Mail, it is reported that Linda and her young boyfriend relation also did not go well as her young boyfriend sued her for $1.5 million. The duo began dating in 2008 when Linda was 48-years-old, and Charlie was 19-years-old. The couple broke up in May of 2012 after roughly four years together.
Now 28 years old, Charlie claimed that Linda had him fertilize 25 acres of avocado trees, dig a creek, watch the yacht, pull reeds from the lake, and work in construction and landscaping.

Linda Hogan's Short Bio
Linda Hogan was born on 24th August 1959, in Miami, Florida, USA. She graduated from Chatsworth High School in California. In 1970 she was winning contestant on Match Game.
In 1995 she appeared on Hulk Hogan's album Hulk Rules, where she sang backup vocals along with The Wrestling Boot Band. Linda entered the spotlight in 2005 as "Linda Hogan," due to the VH1 reality show, Hogan Knows Best.
Hulk and Linda Hogan’s marriage was as iconic as ever whilst they were together, however the pair left things on a sour note.
Despite being known as one of the most famous wrestling stars in the world, Hulk was also known for his reality TV show, Hogan Knows Best, where his life with Linda and their two children was on full display for viewers entertainment.
Since the show, there has been a lot of drama and accusations surrounding their relationship.
So, without further ado, lets take a look at their long lasting marriage, and how their dating life went post-divorce.
After meeting each other through a mutual friend, Hulk and Linda became inseparable, and began dating properly in the early 1980’s. The pair had to live a long distance relationship for two years, where their main communication was by telephone.
However, after this they decided to move in together, before tying the knot in 1983. Five years later, in 1988, Linda gave birth to their first child, Brooke Hogan. Now 38-years-old, Brooke has done very well for herself, as she is a known model, actress and reality TV star.
Two years after the birth of Brooke, in 1990, Hulk and Linda welcomed their second child, Nick into the world. In 2022, Nick keeps his name out of the spotlight, as he has chosen a more private life than the likes of his family.
Why did Linda and Hulk get divorced?
Although the pair spent 25 years married together, they decided to split in 2007, before their divorce was finalised in 2009. Their divorce was extremely public, however many people still want answers on what really happened between the pair.
In 2016, Linda opened up about the reasoning behind their divorce, as she explained that Hulk had an affair during their marriage.
In an interview with Inside Edition, Linda showed a letter that she had written for Hulk, explaining her feelings surrounding their divorce. The letter wrote: “You have single handedly ruined our 25-year marriage and our family, and yet you continue to hide behind those sunglasses, false smile, oh, and the bandana.”
The pair are far from being on good terms, as Linda also said during the interview: “I want the world to know how I feel about him. I don’t know how he could do this to his family, to his peers, to the world and still keep his chin up and act like he’s done no wrong.”
In his autobiography, My Life Outside The Ring, Hulk denied the affair allegations and said his relationships with other women were nothing but innocent.
What happened next?
Just one year before their divorce was finalised in 2008, Linda started dating 19-year-old Charlie Hill. This relationship was extremely controversial, causing headlines due to their 30 year age gap.
Although the pair got engaged, they broke up soon after in 2012. Since the split, Charlie has opened up about how Linda treated him during their relationship, and according to Distractify, he sued her for $1.5 million for treating him like a laborer.
Hulk on the other hand, has had another long lasting relationship since his divorce with Linda. In 2010, he married Jennifer McDaniel, and the pair stayed together for 11 years.
Just one year since their divorce, Hulk has moved on with Sky Daily, a yoga instructor from Clearwater, Florida. Hulk shared this news with his Twitter followers in Februrary 2022, as he wrote:
