Linda Hogan is putting her family drama to the side to honor her late ex-husband on Monday … sharing an emotional tribute to Hulk on what would have been his 72nd birthday.
Linda — who was married to the wrestling icon for 26 years — posted the message alongside a throwback picture from their early dating days … showing them sharing an embrace as they posed for the camera.
“Me and Hulkster .. 1981 Happy Birthday Terry .. I love and miss you so much ..,” Linda said.
We reached out to Linda for more info … and she said the snap was extra special, as it was their first birthday celebration as a couple.
The two were in Santa Monica at the time … and they were testing out a new Canon camera Hulk had bought for her.
The comment is rather interesting — as we previously reported, Linda broke down in tears on social media earlier this year … claiming her family was in “the worst mess” and placing some of the blame on Hulk.
She later walked back her stance … saying, despite his flaws, he was a great father who stopped at nothing to provide for his kids.
Hulk would have turned 72 on August 11 … but passed away on July 24 after suffering a heart attack, according to Pinellas County Forensic Science Center records.

The death hasn’t changed much for Hulk’s daughter, Brooke … who joined “TMZ Live” last week to address what she says are false stories being thrown around about her.
