#2. WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan - Jennifer McDaniel (21 years)

After 26 years of marriage, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan and his first wife, Linda, got divorced. A year later, Hogan tied the knot with make-up artist Jennifer McDaniel. The Hulkster's second wife is 21 years his junior. While he is now 68 years old, McDaniel is 47.

In an interview with HuffPost Live in 2014, Hogan addressed the lengthy age gap between him and his wife.

"I've been with Jennifer [McDaniel] seven years now -- married for four -- and she's younger than me, which is way cool. I'm sixty years young and she's thirty-nine, so it was a little weird at first, but I'm cool with it," he said.

The Hall of Famer rarely shares photos with McDaniel on his social media accounts. Nonetheless, he described his wife as the love of his life in an Instagram post celebrating her birthday in 2019.

Hogan has made a few sporadic appearances in Vince McMahon's company over the past few years. He was also the co-host of WrestleMania 37 in 2021.
