How many children does Hulk Hogan have? A look at the former pro wrestler's family amid turmoil

The drama surrounding wrestling legend Hulk Hogan seems to have no end in sight. From his political stance to incidents at the launch of his new beverage company, Hulk has seemingly lost his ability to endear himself to the masses as more and more examples surface about his purported misgivings.

In the most recent news related to Hogan, ex-wife Linda took to Instagram detailing his apparent s*x addiction and dishonest nature. She spoke about the two children she shared with Hulk Hogan. She went on to say that since an argument between Hulk and elder daughter, Brooke, she has been estranged from Brooke and grandchildren.

As the situation continues to unfold and we await a possible response from the formerly unimpeachable star, let’s take a look at his family unit and how it’s evolved over the years.

Hulk Hogan’s family at a glance

Hulk Hogan and Linda Claridge tied the knot in December 1983. At the time, the wrestler was bouncing between organizations in America and Japan, and the famed ‘Hulkamania’ phase of his WWF career was simmering to a boil. The pair had two children, Brooke (born in 1988) and Nick (born in 1990), and they seemed like the idyllic family unit, a postcard of Americana.

Brooke went on to have a career in music, television, and pro wrestling before settling down with NHL defenseman Steven Oleksy. Nick had more of a troubled life, although he has separated himself from past transgressions and is currently married to adult actress Tana Lea.

Hulk chose to make his family life public and was one of the true first adapters of reality television. In 2005, Hulk, Linda, and their children became the subject of Hogan Knows Best, a reality documentary television series that aired on VH1. The show lasted four seasons and eventually gave way to a spinoff revolving around his daughter called Brooke Knows Best.

It was in 2007 that cheating allegations surfaced about Hulk and Christiane Plante, a musician who was helping Brooke get her musical career off the ground. The same year, Linda filed for divorce in Pinellas County, Florida, citing Hogan’s infidelity as the central cause for the split. Despite Hogan’s denials, Linda suspected that Hulk was always a serial cheater, although there is no substantiating evidence to corroborate her claims.

Hogan subsequently began a relationship with Jennifer McDaniel in 2008, and the pair married in 2010 after a yearlong engagement. The pair eventually divorced in 2021. A year later, Hulk got back on the proverbial horse and remarried a third time. He proposed to Sky Daily in the summertime, and the couple married later in 2023.

Hulk has 2 grandchildren from daughter Brooke and son-in-law Steven Oleksy. The pair welcomed fraternal twins Oliver and Molly on January 15, 2025.
