She earned a Saturn Award nomination for Best Make-Up for Let Me In, showcasing her recognition within the film industry.
Relationship & Marriage to Hulk Hogan
Jennifer and Hogan began dating in early 2008, following his split from his first wife, Linda Hogan.
They got engaged in November 2009, then married in an intimate private ceremony on December 14, 2010, in the backyard of Hogan’s Clearwater, Florida home, attended by close friends and Hogan’s adult children, Brooke and Nick.
The marriage sparked media buzz partly due to the age difference (Jennifer was about 36; Hogan was in his mid-50s) and occasional paparazzi drama at the wedding, including a scuffle involving a bodyguard and a photographer.
Jennifer even tattooed Hogan’s birth name, “Terry,” on her wrist to symbolize her commitment.
Personal Life & Children
Jennifer and Hulk Hogan did not have children together. Hogan already had two children from his first marriage, whom Jennifer became stepmother to. Jennifer maintained a private lifestyle and was rarely seen in the spotlight beyond appearances next to Hogan, often during outings or gym sessions.
She became the stepmother of Hulk Hogan’s two children, Brooke Hogan (born 1988) and Nick Hogan (born 1990), during her marriage to Hogan from December 14, 2010, to 2021.
Separation & Divorce
After nearly 11 years, Hogan filed for divorce in October 2021, which was finalized later that year. On February 28, 2022, Hogan confirmed the split publicly via a tweet announcing he was officially divorced and dating someone new (Sky Daily).
Husband death
Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025, at age 71, in Clearwater, Florida, after suffering a cardiac arrest at home. Emergency responders transported him to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He had recently undergone complex neck surgery and was in the process of recovery. Authorities confirmed no foul play or suspicion in the incident.
In an official tribute, Hogan’s family released a statement expressing:
“It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we confirm we have lost a legend … May we all take solace in the wonderful memories he left behind for the millions of fans worldwide whose lives he touched.”
WWE also issued condolences, calling Hogan one of the most recognizable pop-culture figures, and credited him with helping to bring wrestling to global prominence in the 1980s.
His daughter Charlotte Flair added:
“When I nearly lost my dad 8 years ago, one of the few people who was there for all of it was Hulk Hogan … Rest in peace, brother.”
