Linda has dated –
- Hulk Hogan (1981-2009) – Linda began dating American professional wrestler Hulk Hogan in 1981, soon after having met him in a restaurant in Los Angeles. The couple got married in December 1983 and they have 2 children together – a daughter named Brooke Hogan (born Brooke Ellen Bollea) (TV Personality, Singer, Actress) (b. May 5, 1988); and a son named Nick Hogan (born Nicholas Anthony Bollea) (TV Personality) (b. July 27, 1990). In November 2007, after nearly 25 years of wedlock, Linda filed for divorce after learning about her husband’s alleged affair with a model named Christiane Plante. The alleged affair took place during the shooting for Hogan Knows Best (July 2005 – October 2007), a reality documentary TV series. Christiane had made an acquaintance with the Hogan family after having worked with Brooke in 2006 on her music album. In his 2009 autobiography, Hulk Hogan claimed that Linda would suspect him of having an affair whenever he developed a friendship with another woman. He insisted that he had never cheated on his wife. Their divorce was finalized in July 2009.

He proposed to her on an episode of Couple’s Therapy (an American show that chronicles reality TV performers as they receive relationship counseling from a renowned psychotherapist) in 2012.
