It was love at first sight when Linda Marie first met Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan in a restaurant in Los Angeles in 1981. After having a long-distance love affair for two years, Linda Marie and Hulk Hogan got married on December 18th, 1983. They together have a daughter Brooke born May 5th, 1988 and son Nick born July 27th, 1990. Interestingly a month after his marriage to Linda Marie, Hulk Hogan won the WWF World Heavyweight crown defeating the Iron Sheik at Madison Square Garden on January 23rd, 1984.
Linda Hogan has appeared on several television shows such as "Larry King Live" in 1985; "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in 2003; "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" in 2004; "Howard Stern on Demand" in 2005; "WrestleMania 21" in 2005; "Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith" in 2005; and the "20 Greatest Celebreality Moments" in 2006. She also had a starring role on the film "Little Hercules in 3-D".
Linda Hogan has also appeared in "Hogan Knows Best", a reality series on VH1 that ran from July 10th, 2005 to October 21st, 2007. The reality show "Hogan Knows Best" focused on differences between Linda and Hulk Hogan on how to raise their kids: Brooke an upcoming singer and Nick. They had differences over, how late night Brooke could stay out with her boyfriends and Nick's interest in WWF. Linda Hogan is dead set against her son taking up wrestling at WWF.
Another point of clash between them is Linda Hogan is sore at Hulk Hogan in his mid-fifties making a comeback at WWF. The reason is simple; Hulk might get hurt at this age. Finally, the last season of "Hogan Knows Best" devoted to their marital problems giving one the impression that their 24 years of long and glorious marriage is coming to an end.
Linda 'Hogan' Bollea has filed for divorce from her husband Terrence 'Terry' Gene Bollea aka Hulk Hogan on November 20th, 2007 in Pinellas County, Florida.
