Sky Daily became one of wrestling's most talked-about partners when she stepped into Hulk Hogan's life in early 2022 — and the two quickly went from a spontaneous bar introduction to a baptism, a wedding, and a love story the internet couldn't look away from. Now, following Hogan's death on July 24, 2025, fans are looking back at the woman who stood by the WWE icon until the very end.
How they met
The origin story is almost too cinematic to believe. Daily was out one evening with her friend Sabrina Nova when Hogan spotted her across the room and bought her group a drink. He reportedly asked, "Who's the blonde?" before heading for the door. It was Nova who chased him down and convinced him not to walk away. Hogan later recalled the moment in a speech at Nova's wedding in July 2023, joking that her encouragement made him "think twice about just ghosting and going home." The rest, as they say, is history.
Photos of the two at a Bret Michaels concert in February 2022 first tipped fans off that something was going on. Hogan confirmed it himself on social media shortly after, clarifying that he was officially divorced from his second wife, Jennifer McDaniel, and introducing Daily as his girlfriend.
The proposal
After roughly a year together, Hogan popped the question at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida — and by his own admission, he was "very nervous." He announced the engagement in July 2023 during his speech at Nova's wedding, joking that Daily was "crazy enough to say yes." Days later, the newly engaged couple was photographed dining out in Clearwater, Daily's sparkling ring on full display.
"I asked Sky to marry me, and she was crazy enough to say 'yes, brother.'"

The wedding
Hogan and Daily exchanged vows on September 22, 2023, in an intimate ceremony in Clearwater, Florida — just two months after their engagement announcement. The guest list was kept small, with only their children in attendance. Daily wore a white strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline and lace train, while Hogan kept it classic in a black tuxedo paired with his signature head bandana. Daily's daughter even matched her mom in white for the occasion.
Notably absent was Hogan's daughter Brooke, who addressed the situation publicly on Instagram, writing that she had chosen to create distance from her family for her own "healing and happiness." She added, "I wish him well."
Who is Sky Daily?
Daily, who is 25 years younger than Hogan, built her career in the fitness world as a yoga instructor. Her Instagram bio described her as someone active in the fitness industry who also helped support small businesses. She is a mother of three children, all of whom were introduced to Hogan before the couple wed. According to Hogan, he hit it off with all three kids immediately — and they were featured prominently in the couple's wedding video.
Faith and family
In December 2023, just months after their wedding, Hogan shared a deeply personal milestone: he and Daily had been baptized together at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Clearwater, Florida. Hogan called it "the greatest day of my life," writing that it brought him total surrender, no worries, and "only love." When Daily posted her emotional tribute to Hogan following his death, she referenced that shared faith as a pillar of their relationship.
"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."

His final chapter
Hogan, born Terry Bollea, suffered a heart attack and passed away on July 24, 2025 — just under two years after marrying Daily. Before his death, he sat down for a final interview as part of the Netflix docuseries Hulk Hogan: Real American, which premiered on April 22, 2025. The series gave fans a rare, unfiltered look at the man behind the bandana — and the love story that defined his final years.
Sky Daily and Hulk Hogan's story was brief by some measures, but by every account it was full — full of faith, family, laughter, and a love that started with one bold drink offer at a bar.
