Hulk
Hogan's Wife Filed for Divorce as a Last Resort
11/27/07
Wrestling star Hulk Hogan's wife has been trying to repair the damage
of her crumbling marriage for months - but was forced to file for divorce
as a last resort.
Linda Bollea submitted legal documents in Florida's Pinellas County
Court last week (ends25Nov07) seeking a permanent separation from her
husband, whose real name is Terry Bollea.
The sports star was apparently "shocked" when informed of the
split on Friday (23Nov07) by a reporter from local newspaper the St.
Petersburg Times.
But according to fresh reports, it is he who has been reluctant to make
it work with 48-year-old Linda.
A source tells website TMZ, "She keeps saying to him 'Can't we
find a way to make this work?' She doesn't want to see the family break
up. She really wants to work it out with him. But it is like pushing up
against a brick wall.
She is heartbroken about it."
The papers do not state a reason for the divorce. The couple has been
married for 23 years following their 1983 wedding, and have two kids,
19-year-old Brooke and 17-year-old Nick.
