Being a celebrity is not an easy task in the eyes of the American audience. Hulk Hogan got to master that lesson not during his wrestling stint, but during his reality TV series, Hogan Knows Best.
Having his entire family on TV to bolster his daughter’s singing career it would leave Hogan with a major strain on his relationship with his wife, Linda.
While the shooting of the four seasons brought in fame and money, it left major scars in their relationship. Just 2 years after the TV show ended, Hogan and Linda would file for divorce in 2009.

It was a difficult time for the pair, just like Brooke, his daughter mentions in this documentary about the family.

The narrator in the documentary pointed out, “In an interview in People’s magazine, Linda Hogan said, ‘At the end of the taping day, we couldn’t wait to escape from each other.’ Finally, Hogan Knows Best wrapped after a four-season run.”
Then Brooke Hogan said, “The reality show put pressure on us, it was stressful. It made the anger come out a little bit quicker.”
The Hogan family was everywhere during the airing of their TV show, hopping on red carpets and doing interviews left and right.
But just like everything, fame and money also bring terrible things alongside. This came in the form of the TV show’s lead pair, Hogan and Linda breaking it off after a few years down the line.
Currently, Hogan was in a relationship with Jennifer McDaniel since 2008. But he revealed in a tweet that the two had broken off their marriage last February. That was Hogan’s second marriage, but it didn’t work out as well.
