    Linda Hogan has been left "devastated" by her ex-husband Hulk Hogan's death

    The 65-year-old star - who split from the late wrestling legend in 2007 after 24 years of marriage - admitted her former spouse's passing last week came as a "big surprise" and the news has hit her "so hard"


    Earlier this month, Linda had shared a throwback picture of herself and Hulk together on Instagram, which she captioned "good old days", and she has now commented on her own post to admit she had no idea what would happen just five days later.

    She wrote: "I had no idea he would pass away this soon . We all really thought he would make a come back.

    "Big surprise . We are all devastated . It's hitting me so hard .(sic)"

    Linda reflected on her marriage to the WWE star, candidly admitting she "loved [him] more than he loved" her and she could understand why he was unfaithful to her, but also confessing she never "got over" their divorce.

    She wrote: "I loved Hulkster more than he loved me . It hurt when he cheated . But he was sooo famous . I sort of u detstood but it was crushing . It hurt . I bever got over him or started a real relationship w anyone .. I missed HIM! I've been weeping all day . The finality . It's just shocking .

    "We spent every minute together for so many years . I've known him since he was 28 yrs old ! I was 22. I still love him . Even tho I never spoke or saw him , Nick did .. and Nick would tell me things and vice versa . Just news about life . I still felt .. although broken .. we still were a family . It's so hard to know he's just gone .(sic)"

    Linda is estranged from her and Hulk's daughter Brooke, 37, but has been doing her best to support their son Nick, 35, through the loss of his father, though it isn't easy.

    She concluded: "I tried to stay strong for Nick .. but I'm melting down now . It's very sad .

    "I love you Hulkster . You were my man . The only man for me . RIP (sic)"

    Following his split from Linda, Hulk was married to Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021, and he wed Sky Daily in September 2023.
