Hogan met his first wife, Linda Claridge, at a restaurant in Los Angeles in 1981. The two would date until tying the knot on December 18, 1983. Vince McMahon and Andre The Giant attended this marriage as Hogan was one of the most famous wrestlers at the time. The marriage would give Hogan two children, Brooke Hogan, born in 1988 and Nick Hogan, born in 1990. The family would feature in the reality TV show Hogan Knows Best in July 2005.

The show ran for four seasons until October 21, 2007, when Claridge and Hogan filed for divorce a month later. The couple cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. According to an interview from the National Enquirer, Hogan had an affair with Christiane Plante. Plante was an acquaintance who had helped Brooke on her 2006 album.

Claridge stated in multiple interviews that Hogan was having extra material affairs. In his 2009 autobiography, Hogan acknowledged the claims by his wife but denied he ever cheated on her. According to Hogan, the allegations stemmed from his frequent friendships with other women. Hogan claimed the divorce broke him.

Hogan’s second marriage to Jennifer McDaniel

Despite claiming the divorce broke him, Hogan was not single for too long as he met Jennifer McDaniel in 2008. McDaniel was a make-up artist, and after a little less than a year of dating, the two were engaged in 2009. The following year, the couple married on December 14, 2010, in Clearwater, Florida. Just like his first marriage, this too was filled with a controversy involving a very public video of Hogan with another woman.

The video in question was put online by the online blog Gawker in 2012. It showed Hogan having an affair with Heather Clem. Clem was the estranged wife of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge. After a long legal battle, Hogan would reach a $31 million settlement with Gawker in 2016. Hogan would take to Twitter (now X) on February 28, 2022, to announce that he and McDaniel divorced after 11 years.

Other details state that McDaniel got to keep the home they bought in Palm Isle, Florida, worth around $3 million. No details were ever made public on who wanted the divorce first.
