Linda Marie Bollea, 46, filed divorce papers at Pinellas County court on Tuesday (20.11.07) after 24 years of marriage.
Hulk – real name Terry Gene Bollea – heard the news from a reporter on Friday (23.11.07).
The star thanked the journalist for the ‘great information’, then called back five minutes later and said: ‘I’m kind of shocked. You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks.
‘Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here.’
The 53-year-old former WWE and WCW wrestler married Linda in 1983 and the couple have two children, 19-year-old daughter Brooke, an aspiring singer, and 17-year-old son Nick.
The family starred together in VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best.
Son Nick lost his driver’s licence last week after being found guilty of dangerous driving. Earlier this year Nick was behind the wheel during a street-racing crash which left his passenger in a coma with a broken skull.
Hulk is arguably the most famous wrestler of all time, and also starred in a number of movies including Rocky III, Suburban Commando and Mr. Nanny.
