Maybe Hulk Hogan doesn't know best – after 24 years of marriage, his wife, Linda Marie Bollea, has filed for divorce.

Bollea, 46, filed divorce papers Tuesday in Pinellas County, records show. She has been married to Terry Gene Bollea, 53, more famously known as Hulk Hogan, since 1983 and the couple has two children, Brooke, 19, and Nick, 17.

Recently, the couple's son has made headlines. The teen faces a felony charge that he was driving recklessly in August when his Toyota Supra went out of control and slammed into a tree. His friend and passenger, John Graziano, suffered a brain injury.

Since 1992, the Bolleas have lived in a 17,000-square foot home in Bellaire. The family's lives have been taped for the pro wrestler's VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best.

Word of the split was first reported by WTVT, the Fox affiliate in Tampa.

wow im kinda surprised.

Damn. I guess no more Hogen Knows Best. But I could kinda tell that there was trouble in paradise when the new season started.

Reality tv = Killer of marriages.

This is so awful! I think right now is when they really need each other's support!

And Bellaire? They may have had a house there, but they were living in Tampa for a long time...the Tampa area is where Nick had his accident.

 

[emily_3383]

Well im sure for money they will do a whole season where they go to marriage counseling. lol

 

[saintcloudgirl]

Do any of the stars stay together??

 

[katina74]

whoa I seriously never expected that. I knew they had some problems(who doesn't) but I thought they would always stay together.

 

[Kookie-for-COCO]

Hmmm, I thought they were as close to a normal marriage as a Hollywood marriage gets.

 

[mac-whore]

wow, after 23 years. what's the point? they seemed pretty well-rounded to me, then again u never know what goes on in people's marriages.. even if they are taped 24/7. good luck to both of them.

 

[dixiewolf]

I just read that on people.com. He didnt even know she was filing. His life really sucks right now, with the divorce and the problems with Nick, and whatever else, I dont watch the show but I bet it's pretty crazy.

this might have added to the stress:
