Before his death in July 2025, Hulk Hogan found “The One” in his third wife, Sky Daily.
The retired WWE star met Daily, a yoga instructor, through one of Daily’s friends during a night out in 2022. Hogan and Daily got engaged more than one year later, and they tied the knot in September 2023.
The couple remained together until Hogan’s death at 71 years old. His family confirmed the news of his passing to Us Weekly on July 24, 2025. He suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida, and was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Clearwater Police Department.

“No, he’s definitely not in a coma!” she wrote on July 11. “His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage. None of those rumors are true.”
Daily continued, “He’s been recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusin (ACDF), which is an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process. If you look it up, you’ll see what the last six weeks have involved … not just for his spine, but also for his vocal cords, and the eating/breathing tubes that are clamped over during surgery.”
She concluded, “We’ve been in an [sic] out of the hospital to support that recovery. So truly, there’s no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up. He’s healing and we’re taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.”
