Relationship with Bubba the Love Sponge

Heather and Bubba started their relationship sometime in 2006; at first, it was nothing serious, as Heather claimed that she had sex with other men as well while dating Bubba. Nevertheless, as time went by, their relationship became more serious, crowned in January 2007 with a wedding ceremony held at the First Baptist Church of St. Petersburg, Florida. Their marriage lasted until 2011 when Heather filed for divorce, and received a rather decent settlement which includes a monthly payment of $1,150, and a one-time payment of $20,000 plus other material possessions.

Rise to Prominence, Sex tape, Personal Life

However, we might never have heard of Heather if it wasn’t for the leaked sex tape between her and Hulk Hogan. It all happened in 2006 when Hulk was having a marital crisis, and his good friend Bubba the Love Sponge offered to help. Bubba offered his then-girlfriend Heather to have sex with Hogan, in hopes that Hulk would feel better. Bubba videotaped the whole thing and never dreamed of what would become of it. The sex tape was lost, but then published by Gawker in 2012. This made Heather quite popular, and with Hogan’s lawsuit against Bubba and Heather as well, her popularity soared through the roof. After the lawsuit was settled, Heather retreated into obscurity and hasn’t made a single appearance in public since then. According to reports, Heather has one child, which is a product of one of her previous relationships.

Personal Life and Net Worth

Before marrying Heather, Bubba was already married and divorced; he hasn’t shared the name of his ex-wife and dates of their marriage, but has said that the marriage lasted only 91 days. The reason for the divorce was that his wife wanted to stay in Terre Haute, while Bubba had more chances of succeeding in radio in other cities.

During his illustrious career, Bubba faced numerous lawsuits, including one from Hope Miller, which involved an unwanted sex stunt, while he was also sued by the Nielsen Media company for interfering with the ratings, among numerous other lawsuits.

According to authoritative sources, Bubba’s net worth, as of early 2019 is estimated at $6 million, which is quite impressive.
