Linda Hogan, 52, on how she picked up her then 19 yo boyfriend at the beach


Linda Hogan, now 52, was newly divorced and 48 when she met her longterm boyfriend during a beach outing with her son. Linda told Wendy Williams on her show (video above) that the tall blonde caught her eye, and that her son Nick told her the guy went to school with him. It turned out that Charlie Hill, with whom Linda has been in a relationship for four years, was one year above Nick in high school and one year below Linda’s other child, Brooke. When Linda first met Charlie he tried to tell her he was 23, but he quickly admitted that he was just 19. Linda overlooked it and the two went on to have a relationship. Here’s what Linda told Wendy:

Since I had filed for divorce I was alone for about 9, 10 months you know, and I was just home and feeling so sad…

Nick came in and he said “Mom, let’s just go to the beach…”

So we were walking down the beach, Nick and his friend. As we were walking back I saw this tall hot-looking tan blonde guy. I just said “Nick, go up and see if he’s really hot…”

He said “Yeah mom, he’s cute but I might know him. I think he might have gone to the same school as us.”

I said “oh, gosh. this is not going to work.”

When I met him, he said he was 23. “That’s not so bad.” I was 48 at the time. And then we went out for a drink and he told me “I’m not really 23…” He said he was 19. I said “it’s probably not going to work out.”

He’s like an old soul. As long as you’re not lying that you’re 19 and you’re really 16, we’re ok.

Sex is awesome. He really fulfills me emotionally I have to say. Sex is sexy with a younger guy. I mean, c’mon who wouldn’t want to have sex with a younger guy?

I don’t get it at all. I’m in my late 30s and I see plenty of attractive young guys who are in their 20s, but they just don’t appeal to me. I just can’t imagine finding them mature or interesting enough to even have a fling with. I’m talking guys in their mid to late 20s. I doubt I could ever get with a barely-legal guy like that. Plus Linda has a son right around this kid’s age! It’s just ridiculous.

Linda said that she was hoping to marry Charlie. Wendy then asked Linda about the rumors that she broke up with Charlie a few months ago and she gave him money and a plane ticket. Linda half denied that and said “it’s not true, Wendy. I thought, he deserves a young wife. He deserves a family and kids. We’re [back together and] trying to work things out.”

Wendy also asked Linda about the story where she said that her ex husband, Hulk, had a physical relationship with his wrestling buddy, Brutis Beefcake. Linda didn’t deny the story, but backtracked a little. “When you’re mad and going through a divorce you say things that you just don’t mean. I’m sorry that I said that.” Linda then got a little choked up, and said she missed having her family together. I actually felt sorry for her after that.

Linda and Charlie are currently on a VH1 reality show called Couple’s Therapy. It features such other illustrious celebrities as DMX, Angela from Jersey Shore, and Vienna from The Bachelor. I haven’t watched a full episode, but I just viewed some clips online. Charlie is actually pretty hot, if you like that type. Here’s a clip from Couples Therapy where Linda confronts Charlie about using Facebook.

    Glad she explained that…. Thought she gave birth to him……

  2. marie says:

    gross.. but to each their own I suppose..

  3. fabgrrl says:

    So she goes out to the beach with her teenage son and tells him to go pick up young guys for her? Boundaries!!!! That is some kind of icky, reverse-“Suddenly Last Summer” thing.

    {EDIT: the play/film, not the song. Although that rather creepy music video could apply as well.}

    I’m from that area of FL and you can find waaaaaaaay cuter guys than that on the beach (and some of them aren’t even teenagers!)

    That being said, if it’s o.k. for guys to have (basically sexual) relationships with much younger women, I guess it’s o.k. for women too. Unfortunately, I’m sure she’s in it for the companionship just as much as the sex. Soon enough he’ll want to lead his own life and not be trapped by her. Then she’ll be moping around her house again. Sad.

      I don’t think that’s okay, for men or women. There is just a really high ick factor about having sex with someone the same age as the fruit of your loins.

      My opinion, of course. 🙂

    • Maguita says:

      I agree with Bea.

      If men have been for centuries sleeping with younger women, as well as marrying them, why not the same rights for women?

      Although never been a fan of that family, I find them beyond dysfunctional and tacky (come on! Hulk married what looks like his daughter’s twin for decency’s sake), I agree with Linda: I am in my late 30’s as well, and go to college at night (finishing up my MBA!!!), and the cuteness of those younger men sitting beside me is beyond yummy.

      I understand how a mother of the young man in question would feel like her son is being preyed upon, but fathers have felt the same way for ages about their daughters… Unless they are selling them/marrying them off for better social standing, then apparently it is acceptable.

      Here is the thing about younger men, although I admit 19 is much-much too young:

      Those who had been successfully raised by a single mother, to respect women in general, are very much attracted to older women, and KNOW how to relate to them and treat them right. Not just right, but much-much better than those disturbing 40-ish men with baggage, luggage and dysfunctional issues.

      Those younger men seem to have an appreciation for a full-bodied more developed and experienced fine wine, and I guess as an older woman, you feel quite delighted and flattered by the attention, and not by only their eagerness to learn, but to actually have a decent conversation and interest in the world in general. See, but the time you are in your 30s, as a professional woman living in today’s world, you have the means and can afford to finally lead the life you want.

      However, I don’t think by the time they hit their 30s they would still be interested in what would become a grandma. Cruel, but true. See Ashton and Demi.

    I would have thrown him back in the ocean.

  6. Agnes says:

    yuck. and they totally look related.

  7. Rice says:

    I know. It seems gross but way older men go with younger women all the time so what’s the big deal. The thing that struck me was that the son said, “Yeah, he’s cute”.

  8. Palladian says:

    Just WHO the hell is this woman and her boy-toy?

  9. grabbyhands says:

    Sorry, he’s a bad combination of Vince Neil and Jani Lane.

  10. Brannie says:

    Nobody gives a $hit when a 50 year old man dates a 20 year old woman. Why should this be any different?

  11. cupidityrox says:

    She has the mentality of a teenager so i can see how it’ll work out for them. Whatever. However she needs to apologise to the world for birthing out those awful children of her’s.

  12. Cathy says:

    Whatever makes her happy. But he’ll be on his way as she gets older and more wrinkled.

  13. Hanna says:

    Disgusting. That whole family creeps me the f out. :/

  14. lolita says:

    I dated a 63yr old man back when I was 17 so I probably have no business commenting on how so incredibly icky this is but. ….eeeeeekkk!!!!!

  15. Amanda G says:

    Well, they’ve been together for 4 years so I guess it’s working for them. I still think it’s strange for an adult to date someone fresh out of high school though. She obviously has the mentality of a teenager.

  16. Stacia says:

    Sorry I can’t cosign on this..she’s just trying to reclaim her youth through him and had no morals in dating a friend of her son. Not even if he were 23..at least go for someone in their 30’s

    Just think..when she was 40 he was 7 EWWWWW! Cradle Robber.

  17. Jennifer12 says:

    Imagine how awkward it is for her kids- if you’re going to make a fool of yourself, don’t date someone they know. I doubt her son said he was cute; this woman spews out all kinds of BS. And this fool is what she deserves. You can see his giddy glee at being photographed and sort of famous.

  18. Misspdx says:

    I’m 35 and I’m having relations with someone who is 26. The sex? Amazing.. The rest? When he talks it’s kind of like wha wha wha Charlie browns mom to me.. Sometimes I look at him and sigh and think ” 26.. Sheesh” not a lot in common here! But the sex.. Oy vay do I love 26yr old stamina
