AceShowbiz - Hulk Hogan and his estranged wife Linda Hogan are making nice, agreeing on a settlement in their bitter divorce battle. Having their attorneys appearing before a judge in a Clearwater, Fla., court on Tuesday morning, July 28 to work on the terms of the settlement, the pair finally had their divorce being finalized later that day.
"Hulk is looking forward to moving on with his life and is very hopeful that he and Linda can maintain a friendship and work together as parents to their two children," the wrestler's attorney told reporters shortly after the hearing. Terms of the deal were not disclosed though.
"The war is over," Linda was quoted as telling the press. "I still love him. He's the father of my children," she added when referring to Hulk who attended the hearing with the companion of his new girlfriend, Jennifer McDaniel.
"My husband took the big step of stopping this escalating war by making the decision to put this behind us. I am grateful to him for realizing that our family can be happier and stronger by working together. He and I both love our family dearly and look forward to working together to make it stronger than it has ever been. My family means the world to me," she continued saying.
Hulk himself chimed in, "When you're married to someone for 23 years ... you hope for the best ... We just got torn apart."
Linda Hogan filed for divorce from Hulk Hogan in November 2007, citing in the legal documents their marriage was "irretrievably broken." The divorce filing came just three months after the couple's teenage son, Nick Hogan, was involved in a car crash that critically injured his best friend. Hulk and Linda, who also have a daughter named Brooke Hogan, have since been involved in a squabble regarding division of their assets which reportedly worth around $30 million.
