In a gut-wrenching first sighting, Hulk Hogan‘s heartbroken widow, Sky Daily, was seen visibly grief-stricken outside the home where the WWE legend died suddenly from cardiac arrest hours prior, as she clung to her loved ones for support.
The following day, Sky was seen with her hand over her heart, pacing outside a friend’s home while speaking on the phone and gently gesturing with her hands, as revealed in these exclusive DailyMail.com photos.
At one point, as if trying to put her grief into words, she paused and raised her hand to her chest, appearing to reflect on the love she shared with her late husband, whom she quietly married just two years ago.
Although her grief was palpable, the 46-year-old widow was immaculately dressed in black leggings, a T-shirt dedicated to country music legend Morgan Wallen and an orange ‘Sunshine State’ baseball cap that she’s been photographed in before.
Sky was spotted at a friend’s $3.2million six-bedroom home close to the waterfront in Clearwater Beach, less than two miles from the mansion she shared with Hulk, who died aged 71.
She drove there in a white Audi RS7 from the $9million home where Hulk collapsed on Thursday morning before being taken by paramedics to hospital where he was declared dead.

The legend’s third wife then went inside the pal’s place before returning to the beachfront mansion, where she accepted a massive bouquet of flowers being delivered as she arrived.
Her physical appearance, although solemn, was in contrast to the previous evening when she opened the door to friends who consoled her for the terrible loss.
With her long blonde locks pushed up into a bun and wearing no make-up, she looked down and appeared to be battling tears as the pair hugged and held her close.
At one point, the unidentified woman appeared to steady Sky with a hand pressed to her chest, helping her stay upright as she was visibly overcome with emotion.
It was a poignantly heartbreaking moment just hours after she’d lost the man who made such an impact on his sport, the world of celebrity – and lately politics with his support of President Donald Trump.
Sky was exclusively photographed by DailyMail.com shortly amid her posting a heart-rending tribute, admitting: ‘I wasn’t ready for this… and my heart is in pieces.

Neighbors of Sky and Hogan also offered their own support to the grieving widow by offering water bottles to the vigilant cops watching the area
‘He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I though we still had more time.
‘The loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend. But to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.
‘Hulk loved his fans so much and despite his growing physical discomfort, he did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him.’
She continued: ‘He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he’s been welcomed home.’
Sky was Hogan’s third wife, marrying the former wrestler in 2023 following his divorces from ex-wives Linda Hogan and Jennifer McDaniel in 2009 and 2021 respectively.
The wrestling icon’s shock death comes just weeks after Sky denied rumors he was on his deathbed in a coma – and claimed his heart was ‘strong’ after he underwent a routine neck surgery.
On Friday morning, Sky spoke on the phone as she paced back and forth outside of her friend’s $3.2million six-bedroom home, dressed in black leggings, a T-shirt dedicated to country music legend Morgan Wallen and an orange ‘Sunshine State’ baseball cap that she’s been photographed in before
She arrived to her friend’s house in a white Audi RS7 from the couple’s $9 million home, where Hulk collapsed Thursday morning before being rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead
The wrestling legend’s third wife then stepped inside her friend’s home before returning to the couple’s beachfront mansion, where she was seen accepting a massive bouquet of flowers upon arrival.
Sky also took to social media on Thursday to release a heartbreaking statement after the WWE icon died at age 71
In the post, Sky wrote how she believed Hogan would overcome his health problems and that the sudden loss was ‘impossible to process’
Hogan knew he was suffering from health problems including a weak heart and shortness of breath in the weeks before his passing on Thursday, an insider said
His representative said in a statement last month: ‘He’s had problems with his back for years but there’s no emergency.’
A source also revealed to DailyMail.com last month that Hogan was trying to work his way back to ‘100 percent’ after neck and back operations.
‘Hulk has a body ravaged by wrestling, his body is the body of a 140-year-old man with all the bumps and bruises through the years, and his recent neck and back surgeries have been harder to come back from,’ a source close to Hogan said.
Linda, who married Hogan in 1983, shared her own touching message for the athlete and entertained just days before his death.
In her final Instagram post before Hogan’s passing, Linda shared a photo of herself and the ‘Hulkster’ from the 1980s, which she captioned: ‘The good old days !’
Her post came just months after Hogan’s very public fallout with Linda and their daughter Brooke.
Sky, who married the wrestler in 2023, denied rumors Hogan was on his deathbed weeks ago
He was involved in a bitter family spat with ex-wife Linda and daughter Brooke back in March
In an astonishing video on social media shared back in March, Linda first accused her former husband of being a ‘complete liar’ and ‘sex addict’.
She also claimed their family is ‘in the worst mess’ after Brooke cut both parents out of her life, before hitting back at her mom by alleging that her dad was not the only reason behind the shocking family divide, claiming she was ‘verbally and mentally abused’ during her childhood.
‘Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it’s not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes,’ Brooke alleged.
After Brooke’s stunning response, Linda then took a dramatic U-turn by defending Hogan and branding her daughter a ‘narcissist.’
Hogan and Linda were married for 26 years between 1983 and 2009. Hogan remarried in 2010, tying the knot with Jennifer McDaniel, but they split 11 years later. He married his third wife – Sky – in 2023, in a ceremony that Brooke did not attend.
