Hogan’s current wife, Sky Daily, called his death “sudden” in an Instagram message on Friday.

“I wasn’t ready for this… and my heart is in pieces,” she wrote. “He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.

“This loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.”

Sky added that Hogan loved his fans and connecting with them despite his “growing physical discomfort.”

Hogan had been at the center of rumors that his health was declining just a few weeks before his death.

Since mid-June, Bubba the Love Sponge, a Tampa-based radio show and Hogan’s former best friend, reported that the WWE Hall of Famer was in the ICU and on his deathbed.

A rep for Hogan, as well as Sky and WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff, denied Bubba’s report.

As Bubba stood by his report, fans continued to speculate about Hogan’s health.

On July 11, Sky denied rumors that Hogan was in a coma and had brain damage, stating that “his heart is strong” and he was recovering from a recent neck surgery he underwent in May.

Hogan was married to his second wife, Jennifer McDaniel, from 2010-22.
