Hulk Hogan's 50-year-old ex-wife engaged to 21-year-old lover

Hulk Hogan's ex-wife has got engaged to her 21-year-old lover.

The wrestling legend says he is "ecstatic" 50-year-old Linda Hogan - with who he has two children, Brooke, 22, and Nick, 20 - is to wed Charlie Hill next summer after two years of dating.


Wrestling with the truth: Hulk Hogan says he is pleased his ex-wife has got engaged

The 56-year-old grappler - who divorced Linda in 2007 after 24 years of marriage - told RadarOnline.com: "I'm ecstatic for her, I'm very happy for them. I think they're perfect for each other. I wish them the best."

It is believed Hulk will act as a witness for the couple when they tie the knot on Linda's yacht Alimoney next summer.

However, it is unlikely the impending nuptials will have the blessing of Brooke who blasted Charlie - who was previously a friend of Nick - in an interview last year.

Brooke said "He is a loser. I don't have a problem with age - it's more about character. Her love is not real and not right."

Hulk - whose real name is Terry Bollea - got engaged to his girlfriend, 36-year-old Jennifer McDaniel, last year.

Despite his words of support for the couple, the wrestler has previously spoken of his outrage at Linda embarking on a relationship with a much younger man, admitting it sent him into a rage.

He said: "I could have turned everything into a crime scene. You live half a mile from the 20,000 sq-ft home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife."
