While in Los Angles Linda met Hulk Hogan (real name, Terry Bollea) in a restaurant. They started a two-year relationship that was mostly long-distance and over-the-telephone. They later got married in 1983 in a lavish wedding ceremony attended by show biz bigwigs such as André the Giant, Vince McMahon, and several other American wrestling personalities. Theirs was a seemingly happy union which lasted for over two decades; producing two children, Brooke (b. 1988) and Nick (b. 1990).
Linda was a supportive figure in her husband’s career. As their union blossomed she began making public appearances that were pro-Hogan. In 1995, she was featured on Hulk Hogan’s album Hulk Rules, in which she sang back-up vocals alongside The Wrestling Boot Band.
Although she’d been active over the years, Linda only came into the spotlight in 2005 when she appeared as Linda Hogan in the VH1 reality TV show, Hogan Knows Best. That year, she was also featured in a segment of a documentary DVD on street racers, titled Vehicular Lunatics. However, their union hit rocks in November 2007, when she filed for divorce from Hulk Hogan.
