Hulk Hogan has been baptized. On Instagram, the 70-year-old retired wrestling star shared that he and his wife, Sky Daily Hogan, went to Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida to get baptized. "Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life," he wrote. "No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!" He and his wife both wore white for the ceremony. Hulk Hogan still wore his signature bandana — but in white — along with a large cross necklace. He shared videos and photos from the ceremony on Instagram.
Hulk Hogan shared another life-changing experience with his followers just a few months ago. In September 2023, Hulk Hogan married Sky Daily, 45. They dated for more than a year before Hulk proposed to her.
"My new life starts now!" Hulk wrote on September 24 when he shared video footage from their intimate wedding ceremony in Clearwater, Florida.

Sky has three children. Hulk has two — Nick and Brooke. Brooke was not present at the wedding.
“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,” Brooke shared on Instagram at the time. "I wish him well. ❤️."
Indian Rocks Baptist Church also shared the news of Hulk and Sky's baptism via its Instagram Story. "God is doing amazing things at Indian Rocks," the church shared, along with a photo of Hulk Hogan.
Prior to his recent baptism, Hulk Hogan referenced his religious beliefs in several posts on social media. In an interview with Theo Von, when asked how he is still alive, essentially, Hulk Hogan mentioned praying. He wrote something similar on X, saying, "the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game."
In the same post, Hulk mentioned that he "accepted Christ as my savior at 14yrs old."
"Now that I am one with God,the main event theme of surrender,service and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord and Savior and so it is,even now brother,AMEN!" he wrote.
In 2013, Hulk Hogan opened up about a dark time in his life. On Oprah: Where Are They Now?, he shared that he considered suicide years prior when he "kinda hit rock bottom" in 2007. His then-marriage was "crashing and burning." His son went to jail due to a car crash. He drank too much.
"And then I realized all that stuff — the peace, love, the joy, that still, small voice, the energy, that God presence — is part of who I'm meant to be," he said at the time.
