Pro Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and fiancée Sky Daily just got engaged! On July 20, 2023, while on a dinner date in Tampa, Florida, The King of Hulkamania nervously got down on one knee and proposed with Sky Daily’s engagement ring, and got her resounding YES!
We had to get on an EXCLUSIVE phone call with Benjamin Khordipour, G.D., the GUA-certified gemologist and jewelry specialist of NYC’s Estate Diamond Jewelry for a professional assessment of the ring. Click here to see what he said.
Sky Daily’s Engagement Ring!
The Hulkster proposed to his girlfriend of one year, Sky, with a gorgeous engagement ring that matched her beauty, charm, and lovely personality.
Sky Daily’s engagement ring features a 6-carat cushion-cut diamond with a halo of small round diamonds around it, crowned on a pave platinum ring. It’s a breathtaking ring that has high sparkle and brilliance, captivating even from a distance.
The 12-time WWE and WWF champion knew it was time. He found the love of his life in Sky and proceeded to propose to her on that lovely night of their dinner date.
Hulk joked that, “I asked Sky to marry me, and she was crazy enough to say ‘yes, brother.” The pro wrestling champion and icon recalled that he was also nervous, and Sky accepted his proposal with a resounding yes.
At the wedding of their friends Corin Nemec and Sabrina Nova, Hogan gave a speech and revealed their engagement. He also noted that Sky caught the bouquet, a lovely sign that soon became true when they married more than a year later.
How Much Is Sky Daily’s Engagement Ring Worth?
We spoke with Benjamin Khordipour, G.D., the Gemological Institute of America-certified gemologist, author, lecturer, and jewelry expert of NYC’s Estate Diamond Jewelry for a professional appraisal of Sky Daily’s engagement ring. He placed its value at over $100,000.
The high-quality and huge diamond weighing 6 carats, plus the pave halo and platinum ring, are the main drivers of this hefty price tag. If the diamond has high clarity levels and excellent color grade, the actual price can reach up to $600,000 or more.
Hulk Hogan’s Fiancée, Sky Daily, and Their Adorable Love Story
The lovely lady who brought sunshine, good vibes, and love to The Hulkster is Sky Daily, a former yoga instructor. She is also an accountant who helps businesses with their financial management.
Sky has 3 children from her previous relationship. Hogan met and fell in love with her kids when they started dating and met them.
The 6-time WWE and 6-time WCW champion became close to Sky and her kids, often seen on their posts hanging out and having quality time together.
Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, spoke to his fans about his relationship, explaining on X that, “Yo Maniacs, just for the record, the Facebook and Instagram posts are of me and my girlfriend Sky. I am officially divorced. Sorry I thought everyone already knew. Love my Maniacs4Life.”
How Did the Couple Meet?
In early 2022, Hogan was at a bar having a night out with friends. He treated their group to some drinks and asked about their common friend. Sky. They introduced them, and Sabrina encouraged them to date.
Hogan said that he had a good time after hanging out with Sky, but was skeptical. Recently divorced, he remained on the fence about love and finding someone new. As he was about to go home, he got a very important reminder.
Hogan recalled, “And then, when I got in my car, there was this bang, bang, bang on the window, and it scared the hell out of me. I put the window down, Sabrina stuck her head in my car and goes ‘You need to call her up. She’s a nice girl,’ and she scared me so bad!”
However, The Hulkster already fell head over heels with Sky, so he called her, and they started dating soon enough. Their first public appearance together was at a Bret Michaels concert in February 2022. He introduced her to the Poison lead singer as his girlfriend.
Hogan finally found his true love, and he took to Instagram to appreciate her, hugging Sky on the beach: “It always seems just perfect, like she’s always been here.”
He was previously married to Linda Hogan and Jennifer McDaniel. Those previous relationships hurt the Hulkster. He once reflected on his failed relationships, “I really don’t understand how we got here at all. Why we can love so much and still fail. Out of touch, out of love, and out of place.”
Third time’s the charm, and it’s evident with the world champion and her gorgeous beau.
Happily Married!
After more than a year of dating, Hulk and Sky married on September 22, 2023, at the Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Clearwater, Florida. It was only after 2 months that they announced their engagement.
The Hulkster looked dapper with his trademark bandana but in black, to match his black tuxedo suit and bow tie.
Sky was super gorgeous in her strapless and sleeveless lace wedding gown. It has a sweetheart neckline with a backless design, and a sheath skirt that had a Chapel train that flowed from the upper half of the skirt.
The intimate wedding ceremony included close friends, Hogan’s son Nick, and Sky’s children.
However, Brooke, Hogan’s daughter, didn’t attend the ceremony. She later explained on Instagram that, “For my own journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family, and am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals, and values. I wish him well. ❤️.”
