Linda Hogan reportedly filed divorce papers against Hulk Hogan last week.

(ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. ) - The wife of former pro-wrestler and reality TV star Hulk Hogan has filed for divorce.

Linda Hogan, or Linda Marie Bollea, 48, applied for the separation last week, seeking to end their 24-years together. They are the parents of 19-year-old Brooke Hogan and 17-year-old Nick Hogan.

Hogan, 54, whose real name is Terry Bollea, claimed the first he knew about the divorce was when newspaper reporters contacted him about it.

The Hulkster was told by the St. Petersburg Times that the paperwork for a divorce had been sent to Pinellas County, to which he responded: "Thank you for the great information. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. Later he called the paper back and said Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me."

The couple were shown attending marital counseling sessions during their reality TV show Hogan Knows Best, but had reconciled onscreen at the end of the series which is shown on VH-1.
