Tears and Tributes: Hulk Hogan's Widow Faces Heartbreak After His Sudden Passing

Hulk Hogan's wife, Sky Daily, was seen for the first time since the WWE icon’s fatal cardiac arrest on Thursday evening

HULK HOGAN'S TRAGIC DEMISE: WIDOW SKY LEFT REELING AS FAMILY SECRETS AND FEUDS COME TO LIGHT

In a shocking turn of events, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has left this world behind at the tender age of 71, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts and shattered dreams. The news of his sudden cardiac arrest has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry, with fans and friends alike mourning the loss of a true icon.

But as we delve into the life and times of Hulk Hogan, it's clear that there was more to this larger-than-life figure than met the eye. His widow, Sky Daily, 46, is still reeling from the news, but behind closed doors, the family drama has been brewing for years.

The 46-year-old widow appeared grief stricken with her tear streaked, swollen face and usually straight, blonde hair thrown up into a messy bun the day before as her loved ones arrived to comfort her

As revealed in exclusive photos by TheScholarlyNote.com, Sky was seen being comforted by loved ones outside her home in Clearwater, Florida, just hours after Hogan's passing. Dressed in black leggings and a T-shirt dedicated to country music legend Morgan Wallen, she appeared to be struggling to come to terms with the loss of her husband.

But what lies beneath this tragic tale? Sources close to the family reveal that Hogan had been dealing with health issues for some time, including neck and back problems that were exacerbated by his years in the wrestling ring. In a recent statement, his representative claimed he was "working his way back to 100 percent" after undergoing routine surgery.

However, insiders paint a different picture. A source close to Hogan revealed that the former wrestler's body is "ravaged by wrestling," with a litany of injuries accumulated over the years. The toll this took on his health cannot be overstated, with one insider describing his recent neck and back surgeries as "harder to come back from."

On Friday morning, she wore black leggings, New Balance black and white sneakers, a graphic Morgan Wallace t-shirt and an orange trucker hat

But Hogan's family drama didn't stop there. His third wife, Sky, has been married to the wrestling legend since 2023, but their union was not without its controversies. Hogan's ex-wife Linda Hogan shared a touching tribute to her former husband on Instagram, posting an old photo of the couple and captioning it "The good old days!"

However, this wasn't the only family feud brewing in the shadows. Hogan's daughter Brooke cut both parents out of her life after publicly accusing her father of being a "complete liar" and "sex addict." In a stunning reversal, Linda then defended Hogan, branding her daughter a "narcissist."

The fallout from these public feuds was nothing short of devastating. Hogan's second wife Jennifer McDaniel split from him in 2021, just two years after their divorce from Linda Hogan. And as for Sky Daily? Insiders reveal that she and Hogan had been married for only two years before his sudden passing.

At one point, the unidentified woman appeared to steady Sky with a hand pressed to her chest, helping her stay upright as she was visibly overcome with emotion

As the news of Hogan's death continues to ripple through the entertainment industry, one thing is clear: behind the bravado and charm lies a complex web of family secrets and scandals waiting to be unraveled. TheScholarlyNote.com has obtained exclusive photos of Sky Daily in the aftermath of her husband's passing, revealing a glimpse into the personal struggles she's facing.

In a heart-wrenching tribute posted on social media, Sky wrote: "I wasn't ready for this... and my heart is in pieces. 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."

She continued: "The 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. Hulk loved his fans so much and despite his growing physical discomfort, he did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all."
