Hulk Hogan has announced he's engaged to his girlfriend Sky Daily.
The WWE legend, 69, popped the question to the yoga instructor, 45, last week after a year and a half of dating.
After presenting his lucky lady with a diamond ring, Hogan - real name Terry Gene Bollea - chose the perfect moment to share his happy news with friends and family.
The ballsy bridegroom-to-be announced his engagement at Sky's best friend's wedding over the weekend.
Hogan was giving a speech at actor Corin Nemec and his wife Sabrina Nova’s wedding when he made the announcement.

Hogan thanked the bride and groom for getting them together for a date after they met at a party last year.
He said Sabrina urged him to call Sky after they first met when Hogan bought a round of drinks and Sky came over to thank him.
Hogan proposed at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida last week and told TMZ he was nervous to pop the question.
The retired professional wrestler has been married twice before.

The family became household names thanks to their reality show Hogan Knows Best.
A year later Hogan married makeup artist Jennifer McDaniel and they divorced in 2021.
Their marriage was said to have broken down after Hulk allegedly cheated on Linda with daughter Brooke's best friend Christiane Plante, according to Linda's publicist.
He told E! News at the time: "When Linda discovered Hulk had [an affair] with Brooke's best friend, Christiane Plante, she made the decision to call it quits on the marriage.

Hulk Hogan and Jennifer McDaniel before their divorce (FilmMagic)"Almost every statement that comes out of Hulk's mouth is a diversionary tactic to deflect attention away from the real reason Linda filed for divorce, two words: HULK'S CHEATING!"
In a war of words, Hulk's lawyer David Houston replied to the statement saying: "It is unfortunate Linda Hogan will do virtually anything to keep herself in the public spotlight.
"We are not going to demean this process nor the family any longer by responding to what amounts to pathetic pleas for attention."
After their explosive split, Hulk went as far as telling Rolling Stone that the whole thing made him sympathise with OJ, who was infamously accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, something he still denies to this day.
Sky herself is divorced and has three children with her ex-husband.
