Hulk Hogan is Engaged

Legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan – real name Terry Bollea – and Jennifer McDaniel, his girlfriend of nearly two years, are planning to marry after Hogan recently popped the question.

"He is engaged and very happy," a source said.

As of right now there is no known wedding date.

Hogan's engagement comes just fives months after he finalised his divorce from ex-wife Linda Bollea, after 25 years together.

After the trial ended, Linda admitted she would always love the former WWE grappler - with who she has two children, Nick, 19, and Brooke, 21 - and planned to stay in contact with him.

"The war is over," she said. "I still love him. He's the father of my children. My husband took the big step of stopping this escalating war by making the decision to put this behind us. I am grateful to him for realising that our family can be happier and stronger by working together. He and I both love our family dearly and look forward to working together to make it stronger than it has ever been. My family means the world to me."

The former couple are currently on speaking terms, but the initial stages of their divorce were bitterly fought and Hogan, 56, revealed he had thought about suicide.

In his autobiography, 'My Life Outside the Ring', Hulk wrote: "There were times when I thought that a whole bottle of pills would go down easy."

"Then I noticed the gun in my hand. I was careless with it... I kept my finger pressed right to that trigger... and if I moved that finger an inch in the right direction I would have blown my brains out."

Hogan Divorce Finalized and Sealed With A Kiss

After months of feuding wrestling star Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) and ex-wife Linda Bollea finally reached a settlement in their bitter divorce. Yesterday in a Clearwater, Florida court their 25-year marriage officially ended. Hulk kissed his ex-wife on the cheek as the finalization took place.

After everything was finalized Linda admitted that she would always love Hulk and remain in contact with him. The ex-couple has two children together, Nick, 19, and Brooke, 21.

“The war is over. I still love him. He's the father of my children," Linda said. “My husband took the big step of stopping this escalating war by making the decision to put this behind us. I am grateful to him for realizing that our family can be happier and stronger by working together. He and I both love our family dearly and look forward to working together to make it stronger than it has ever been. My family means the world to me."

A statement from Hulk echoed the same sentiments. It said, "Hulk is looking forward to moving on with his life and is very hopeful that he and Linda can maintain a friendship and work together as parents to their two children."

Terms of the divorce were not made public, but it is believed that Hulk will remain in the Florida family home, while Linda is planning to move to Los Angeles.

In 2007 Linda filed for divorce because of Hulk’s alleged affairs.

Since the she and the 55-year-old former WWE star became caught up in months of public arguments, with Hulk even saying he understood how people could be driven to murder their spouses.

Referring to O.J. Simpson - who was accused, and eventually acquitted, of murdering his wife Nicole Brown and her alleged lover Ronald Goldman in a jealous rage in 1994 - he said: “I totally understand O.J. I get it. I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like him, cutting everybody's throat."

Hulk gained fame in the 1980's as the World Wrestling Federation champion and with appearances in a string of films, including ‘Rocky III’ in which he fought the title character.

His most famous match against Andre the Giant – real name Andre Rene Roussimoff – at Wrestlemania III in 1987 drew a crowd of around 93,000 and several million TV viewers.

Linda Hogan Claims Hulk Is Stalking Her

The acrimonious split between the Hogans has gotten even nastier.

Linda Hogan filed court documents on June 30 seeking to prevent her estranged husband from harassing her. In the documents, first reported by TMZ.com, Linda Hogan, 48, claims that Hulk Hogan, 54, "relentlessly and methodically" follows her, "causing her anxiety and fear for her safety at all times." The motion also claims that Hulk "has a history of violence" towards Linda, "and is capable of attacking [her] at any time."

In a statement, David Houston, a lawyer for Hulk (whose real name is Terry Bollea) shot back: "Linda Bollea's allegations are pure fantasy, in line with her recent 911 call that has been widely played in the media.

"On May 22, Linda called 911 claiming Hulk was stalking her, which Hulk vehemently denied. Since November, Terry Bollea has been in Los Angeles working. The limited time that he has spent in Florida has been solely to visit his son and daughter. In addition, he has no history of violence."

The documents are the latest salvo in the contentious divorce. When Linda filed for divorce in November, Hulk learned of the filing from a reporter. The couple has wrangled over assets and traded barbs, although Hogan told PEOPLE last month that he unconditionally loves Linda.

It's been a rough year for the Hogans. In addition to the split, 17-year-old Nick is serving eight months in jail for a felony charge of reckless driving, stemming from an accident that seriously injured family friend John Graziano.
