Hulk Hogan and his wife have finally reached a settlement in their divorce case.
At a brief hearing Tuesday morning in Clearwater, Fla., Hogan, 55, and his wife
Linda announced that they've agreed to the terms of the split.
"We've reached a marital settlement agreement," Ray Rafool, Linda's attorney, told the judge.
In a statement to
Usmagazine.com, Hogan's rep says, "Hulk is looking forward to moving on with his life and is very hopeful that he and Linda can maintain a friendship and work together as parents to their two children."

Before the proceedings began, Hulk, whose real name is Terry Bollea, and Linda were spotted smiling, according to a local ABC affiliate. At one point, she even kissed his cheek.
