Hogan's wife seeks divorce

[JMarkJohns]

According to TMZ

Hulk Hogan and wife Linda have been separated for some time now, and the couple even filmed part of their last season of "Hogan Knows Best" while apart.

TMZ has learned that Mr. and Mrs. Hulkster have been on the outs since June, and that the divorce filing was not a surprise to the Hogans or people who know the couple. Sources tell TMZ that the couple even filmed part of their reality TV show "Hogan Knows Best" when they were separated. This was a source of problems for production, because they had to play nice while filming scenes together.

Linda Hogan filed for divorce on Wednesday, but the papers don't give any specific reason for the filing. A source tells us that the show has not been picked up for next season

Didn't he win "Father of the Year" in one of the last season's episodes? As for the above bolded... So much for all that then. Nice reality you've created. Aside from it being fake, it looked very realistic.

I didn't make it up or dream it:

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, claimed the first he knew about the divorce was when newspaper reporters contacted him about it.

AdvertisementBollea was told by the St Petersburg Times that the paperwork for a divorce had been sent to Pinellas County, to which he responded: "Thank you for the great information. My wife has been in California for about three weeks...Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me."

That was the original report because TMZ posted that yesterday as well, so you weren't dreaming!

But then they came out today with a report that they had been separated for awhile now

CLEARWATER --
(AP) -- The wife of celebrity wrestler Hulk Hogan said in a divorce pe ion that she wants a share of the family's two multimillion-dollar Florida properties plus alimony and child support for their 17-year-old son.



Linda Bollea filed for divorce from Hogan -- whose real name is Terry Bollea -- last week after 24 years of marriage. The pe ion says the marriage is ``irretrievably broken.''

The marital assets that need to be equitably divided include the nearly 17,000-square-foot mansion in Belleair where the family lives and a 3,474-square-foot home on Clearwater beach.

Pinellas County records place the market value of the Belleair mansion at more than $7.2 million and the Clearwater house at more than $2.2 million. The Bolleas also have a condominium under construction in Las Vegas.

Linda Bollea also seeks an unspecified amount for alimony and child support for their 17-year-old son, Nick, who was arrested this month in connection with a traffic crash that left a passenger with severe brain injuries.

For four seasons they've starred in the VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best, which chronicles the lives of the famous wrestler and his family, including daughter Brooke, 19.

Linda Bollea's attorney declined to comment. Her husband told a reporter last week that the divorce filing caught him ''off guard,'' saying his wife has been in California for the past few weeks.

Do ya'll believe this? From wwtdd:

As for Hulk Hogan, the St Petersburg Times quotes an attorney who says the pending divorce between Hulk and Linda Hogan may simply be a way to protect their assets in case they are sued after their son Nick was in a car crash that left one man in a coma:

In the divorce, Linda is asking for half of all assets, including Hulks Bel Air mansion and Clearwater Beach home with combined assessed values topping $7.9-million ... a divorce could be one step the Hogans could take to try to protect assets ... because it could cut Hogan's assets in half.

If it's true then WOW!

That would be kind of wrong of them to do. I have no idea though.

It does make good business sense though. I'd probably do the same if I thought someone was going to try to wrestle me out of some cash.
