Hogan started dating yoga instructor Daily in 2022 and they announced their engagement the following year.

They got married just weeks later, tying the knot in an intimate ceremony in Florida.

The late star proudly shared snaps of their nuptials on social media, with the caption: ‘My life starts now!’

The ceremony marked his third time down the aisle – he was previously married to Linda Claridge, who he shares children Nick and Brooke Hogan with.

In 2010, he married second wife Jennifer McDaniel but filed for divorce in 2021, after a decade of marriage.

However, Hogan’s daughter was not among the guests making the journey to Florida for his wedding to Daily.

She said at the time that she was trying to ‘create some distance between myself and my family’ and focus on ‘people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals, and values’.

Hogan’s family confirmed his d3ath yesterday, with the Clearwater Police Department providing more details shortly after.

‘Just before 10 AM, Clearwater Police Department responded to a house in the 1000 block of El Dorado Avenue for a medical related call,’ Major Nate Burnside said.
