Hulk Hogan is tying the knot again.

The wrestler, 56, and his girlfriend of nearly two years, Jennifer McDaniel, are engaged, a source close to the couple confirms to Usmagazine.com.

New York's Daily News also reported that the two are getting married. "He is engaged and very happy," a source told the paper.

It is happy news for Hogan (nee Terry Bollea), who had been engaged in a bitter divorce battle with his ex-wife, Linda, for nearly two years. Linda, who wed Hulk in 1983, filed for divorce in November 2007.

A newspaper reporter was the first person to inform him about the split. "Holy smokes," he said upon hearing the news. "Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me."

Look back at Hollywood's ugliest divorces

The split grew increasingly ugly a short time later when Linda publicly began dating Charlie Hill who was one of their daughter Brooke's former classmates.

Hogan even complained to Rolling Stone about Linda leaving him for "some shaggy-haired pool boy 30 years her junior."

At one point in their split, Linda even accused Hulk of stalking her.

But in July, they settled their divorce. Terms of the agreement were not made public.

"The war is over," Linda told The Tampa Tribune. She even kissed her ex on the cheek in the courtroom. "I still love him. He's the father of my children."

Hulk and Linda have two children together, Nick, 19 and Brooke, 21.

    He's marrying a clone of his daughter!

    The Hulk deserves to be happy. His ex wife linda is a looser. Jennifer is alot prettier than Linda. Linda needs to find herself a job and learn how to support herself and quit living off the hulk.

    Jen: I think you are sorely underestimating both the staff of USMagazine and its readers for understanding what "ne(e)" even meant! LOL.

    Good for him. If some of you aren't aware, when Linda and Hulk first separated, before divorce papers were drawn up, Hulk and another woman got together. The tabloids however are writing it up as the reason for their divorce, which like everything else they write about, is untrue. So, where as Hulk is engaged to a woman who is 30 something years old people, not 20 something okay! That's a far cry from Linda's 19 yr old boy toy. So all in all, I wish the Hulk all the best and hope he finds happiness. To Linda I say grow up, your 50 years old. Lay off the botox and find someone your own age.

    It's for the best. If you haven't noticed, Linda looked like his twin sister. Those Hollywood people deserve each other.

    i do believe there is not a person out there who wouldnt be as upset if they were in love with someone and that person CHEATED and left them for a younger person?!?!?! honestly she was the bad guy in the relationship but its hulk he'll be the one to get bashed and linda made out to be the angel. puhlese! good luck Hulk in your new engagement and marriage =)

  • December 07, 2009 - 8:53pm Lisa

    It's okay for him to date someone younger but not his wife? Typical...

  • December 07, 2009 - 8:24pm Merlin

    Ewww. This is his "Katie Lee Joel".

  • December 07, 2009 - 8:07pm anon

    He slams his ex for dating a boy who's young enough to be his son, yet how old is his fiancee? Come on Hulk! I used to respect you when you wrestled, but your peak came and went in the 80s. Time to retire hun

    Congrats to hulk hogan......I think everyone who is being rude should stop because he is finally happy with someone that he loves and it is time for him to move on....

  • December 07, 2009 - 6:27pm Jill

    My son just said, "Why does that old man have a hot woman?" I said "Because that's Hulk Hogan!" Good for you, Hulk! You deserve to be happy...so don't blow it and get married!

  • December 07, 2009 - 6:00pm Cheetah

    He certainly has a type--bland, I mean blond and big fake boobs.

  • December 07, 2009 - 5:51pm Mo

    Wow..she looks like his ex wife. You'd think the last thing he would want is to be reminded of his ex after all she put him threw...eeewww!

  • December 07, 2009 - 5:47pm Jen

    I think she looks just like his daughter, but better he be with a lookalike than with his actual daughter. And FYI to the writer, unless he was born a woman, there should only be one "e" in "nee." Also, I'm sure you can post accents, in which case they should be used. Those pesky French gender-specific and accented terms!
