She held his hand until the very end. Sky Daily, the wife of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, was by his side during the most heartbreaking moment of her life, his final breath. On July 24, Hulk Hogan went into cardiac arrest at home. No call could save him. Even a 911 call was placed right away, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital. But what really happened that morning? How could someone so full of life be gone so fast? Sadly, despite every medical effort, he was pronounced dead at the age of 71. Just like that, a legend was gone, and those closest to him, especially his wife Sky Daily, were left with shattered hearts and the weight of his final moments. Just days earlier, the world believed he was doing fine.
Friends and longtime associates had downplayed concerns over his health. On-screen manager Jimmy Hart even wrote on social media that Hulk Hogan’s health was “phenomenal.” But the truth was different. Hogan had quietly been battling health issues behind the scenes. And when the inevitable happened, it was Sky who stood closest to him. But not as a fan or manager, but as his wife, watching the love of her life slip away. Now, her emotional Instagram tribute has shattered hearts across the internet.
“I wasn’t ready for this… and my heart is in pieces,” Sky wrote and shared a picture of them together along with it. “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 further added, “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.” The vulnerability in her words left fans speechless and many couldn’t stop crying.
“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. You meant everything to him,” she added. Despite pain and physical strain, Hogan continued making public appearances, never letting his struggles overshadow his gratitude. “He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he’s been welcomed home,” Sky shared. Their love story was short, but it meant everything.
Sky Daily and Hulk Hogan were first seen together in 2022, and by September 2023, they were married in a quiet Florida ceremony. “My new life starts now!” Hogan posted after their wedding. Less than two years later, Sky is left with memories, heartbreak, and the support of millions who saw how deeply they loved each other. And now, the wrestling world mourns not only a legend but also a husband, a partner, and a love story gone too soon.
Fans praise Sky Daily for standing by Hulk Hogan
“You made him smile every day Sky Pie he loved you very much and so do we. Thank you for being there for him ,” one fan wrote. Another added, “My heart grieves for you. He loved you so much.

But how did they meet?
How did Hulk Hogan find love again after everything he’d been through? It all started back in February 2022. Well, fans spotted him with Sky at a Bret Michaels concert. The buzz started instantly; who was this mystery woman by his side? Not long after, Hogan confirmed the relationship, and it was clear this wasn’t just a fling.
Fast-forward to July 2023, and they were engaged. Two months later, they said “I do” in a quiet, beautiful ceremony in Florida. For both of them, it felt like a fresh start. Before Sky, Hogan had been through two marriages. First with Linda Hogan, then with Jennifer McDaniel. But in the final chapter of his life, it was Sky who stood by him, not just as a wife, but as his anchor through everything. As one fan put it simply, “He was lucky to have you by his side, Sky. You gave him peace.”
“Rip big man u was his angel frfr this hurtss too muchh,” one more fan commented.

And she didn’t just stand silently; she kept the world updated and defended him when rumors ran wild.
Just a week before everything changed, Sky went public to shut down terrifying rumors that Hulk Hogan was in a coma. “No, he’s definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong… and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage,” she posted on Instagram, making sure fans knew the truth. She opened up about how intense his recovery really was. As she puts it, “We’ve been in and out of the hospital to support that recovery.” She further explained, “one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.” From major neck surgeries to vocal cord complications, Sky wasn’t just posting about it; she was there, in real time, holding his hand through every moment. And now, fans are giving her the flowers she deserves.
