Hulk Hogan has torn his family apart -- after having an affair with one of his daughter's friends, it has been claimed. The former WWE star, 54, was cheating on wife Linda with a close friend of his daughter, Brooke -- a development that could inflame the already bitter divorce battle between the wrestling superstar and his wife of 24 years.
The wrestler - whose real name is Terry Bollea - carried on a relationship with 33-year-old Christiane Plante - which was reportedly common knowledge among some of the crew of his reality series Hogan Knows Best — but Linda, Brooke and son Nick were all in the dark, sources tell the National Enquirer.
"I'm terribly sorry for what occurred," Christiane Plante said when questioned about her affair with the muscle-bound wrestler.
Speaking from her Miami Beach apartment - allegedly paid for by Hogan - Christiane apologized for hurting Hulk's wife and daughter.
"It was never my intention to hurt Terry's and Linda's wonderful, funny, sweet, loving, beautiful and talented daughter Brooke," she said.
"My relationship with Terry began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed.
"Terry is a good man, good father and good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong.
When contacted for comment on his extramarital relationship, Hulk said: "I've got nothing to say. I just want to protect my family."
