Hulk Hogan has confirmed tabloid reports that his 50-year-old ex-wife Linda is engaged to 21-year-old Charlie Hill.

“I'm ecstatic for her, I'm very happy for them," he said in a statement to RadarOnline. "I think they're perfect for each other. I wish them the best."

Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea), 56, hasn't always felt that way.

Hill is one year younger than Hulk and Linda's daughter Brooke and was pals with their son Nick. Charlie started dating Linda when he was 19 -- around the same time she split from the famed wrestler in 2007 (a newspaper reporter broke the news to Hogan that his wife was divorcing him).

"You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater [Fla.] and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife..." Hogan famously seethed to Rolling Stone last year.

But Hulk's attorney David Houston said the wrestler -- who is also engaged (to girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel) -- was just upset after the split and has since moved on.

"Obviously, when you go through a divorce, there is a great deal of emotion and you go through your ups and downs," Houston told Radar. "He was married to her for 23 years so there is a certain degree of affection and he does wish her the best."

    I am sure the marriage of a 50 year old woman to a 21 year old guy is going to last for many, many HOURS. This guy wants fame... let's hope he doesn't get any!

  • July 28, 2010 - 8:59pm Trish

    I'm all for the whole "cougar" thing, but a 30 year gap is a little much.To each their own, but I would definitely be upset if my mom decided to date someone a year younger than me. Gross

  • July 28, 2010 - 7:55pm tylisa

    It make me sick to my stomach have to hear about a mom dating a boy or a man younger than their children. Plus, let alone he is soon going to be a stepfather to them... I be surpised if they rebal against him.... I love Hulk and Brooke Hogan..They better w/o Linda Hogan (Botox)woman

  • July 28, 2010 - 6:05pm lush

    hes pretty hot. good for her. i think its more the sex than the money. there are other women out there with money. she looks pretty good for her age. im sure hes very attracted to her. im sure hulk is jealous cuz he is way younger & hotter than he ever was. whatever makes her happy. u go girl. im even jealous- wish he could be my boyfriend. anyway younger guys like older women.

  • July 28, 2010 - 6:00pm lovely

    there is such a thing as a pre-nup people.

  • July 28, 2010 - 5:58pm lovely

    good for her. hes pretty hot! i dont think its the money there are other women out there with money. she's pretty sexy for her age. im sure he's very attracted to her n younger guys do like older women. it's probably more the sex than the money. it's o.k. for an older man to marry a younger woman but not o.k. for an older woman to marry a younger man? i'm sure her ex is jealous cuz he's way hotter & younger than him. whatever makes them happy.

  • July 28, 2010 - 5:14pm jo

    seriously? my thinking is if you can create it you shouldn't date it- nasty!

  • July 28, 2010 - 4:53pm jes

    so Everyone keeps doggin on Hulk because his fiance looks like Brooke but has anyone noticed how much Charlie looks like a 20 year old Hulk Hogan.
