Linda Hogan has apparently met her match—in a boy man 29 years her junior.

Hulk Hogan's 50-year-old former missus has gotten engaged to boyfriend Charlie Hill, and the news was confirmed by none other than the Hulkster himself.

"Hulk is very happy for Linda," his publicist told E! News, "and wishes them both well."

He does?

Linda and Charlie, who at 21 is a year younger than her daughter, Brooke, and two years older than son Nick, will swap vows sometime next summer aboard her new yacht, the aptly named Alimony, according to published reports.

Linda, née Linda Claridge, gained fame costarring with the Hulkster and their kids in VH1's Hogan Knows Best before the marriage collapsed in all kinds of nastiness.

Which makes us glad to hear that Hulk has had a change of heart regarding his former missus.

After all, Hulk ranted about Linda and Charlie's relationship in an interview with Rolling Stone last year: "You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater [Fla.] and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife."

We have a good idea what mellowed Hulk since then. The 56-year-old pro-wrestling legend began dating current squeeze Jennifer McDaniel in early 2008 and the two got engaged last December.
