After months of feuding wrestling star Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) and ex-wife Linda Bollea finally reached a settlement in their bitter divorce. Yesterday in a Clearwater, Florida court their 25-year marriage officially ended. Hulk kissed his ex-wife on the cheek as the finalization took place. After everything was finalized Linda admitted that she would always love Hulk and remain in contact with him. The ex-couple has two children together, Nick, 19, and Brooke, 21.
“The war is over. I still love him. He's the father of my children," Linda said.
A statement from Hulk echoed the same sentiments. It said, "Hulk is looking forward to moving on with his life and is very hopeful that he and Linda can maintain a friendship and work together as parents to their two children."
Terms of the divorce were not made public, but it is believed that Hulk will remain in the Florida family home, while Linda is planning to move to Los Angeles.
In 2007 Linda filed for divorce because of Hulk’s alleged affairs.
Since the she and the 55-year-old former WWE star became caught up in months of public arguments, with Hulk even saying he understood how people could be driven to murder their spouses.
Referring to O.J. Simpson - who was accused, and eventually acquitted, of murdering his wife Nicole Brown and her alleged lover Ronald Goldman in a jealous rage in 1994 - he said: “I totally understand O.J. I get it. I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like him, cutting everybody's throat."
Hulk gained fame in the 1980's as the World Wrestling Federation champion and with appearances in a string of films, including ‘Rocky III’ in which he fought the title character.
His most famous match against Andre the Giant – real name Andre Rene Roussimoff – at Wrestlemania III in 1987 drew a crowd of around 93,000 and several million TV viewers.
