Linda Kozlowski: Husband, Net Worth, Life After Paul Hogan

Few film characters made as lasting an impression as Sue Charlton, the sharp-witted journalist who matched Crocodile Dundee’s swagger. But the woman behind the role, Linda Kozlowski, took a very different path after the cameras stopped rolling — one that led her away from Hollywood entirely. This article pieces together what we actually know about her life after acting, her reported marriage, and the friendship that outlasted her divorce from Paul Hogan.

Born: January 7, 1958 ·
Breakout role: Sue Charlton in Crocodile Dundee (1986) ·
Age in Crocodile Dundee: 28 ·
Marriage: Paul Hogan, 1990–2014 ·
Career status: Retired American actress ·
2025 status: Alive; remains close to Paul Hogan per 2025 reports

Seven facts from the verified record show the outline of a life that moved from the red carpet to a deliberately private routine.

Who is Linda Kozlowski’s current husband?

Reports from 2025 describe Kozlowski as married to a Moroccan business partner named Moulay Hafid Baba. Hello! Magazine (celebrity lifestyle) states that the couple married in 2017. Yahoo Entertainment (entertainment news) adds that she co-founded the travel firm Dream My Destiny with Baba. However, no official marriage certificate or public announcement from Kozlowski herself has surfaced, so the union remains a reported fact rather than a confirmed one.

Kozlowski’s marriage history in brief

• Her only confirmed marriage is to Paul Hogan (1990–2014).
• After the divorce, she reportedly began a relationship with Moulay Hafid Baba, a Moroccan tour guide.
• Wikipedia (encyclopedic reference) also notes the 2017 marriage to Baba, though the entry’s sourcing is thin.

The pattern: every source that names a current husband relies on the same small set of entertainment reports, not on direct confirmation from Kozlowski or official records.

Has she remarried or is she in a public relationship?

Multiple outlets — including Parade (celebrity news) and Chicago Star Media (local news) — place Baba at family gatherings with Kozlowski and Paul Hogan in 2025. He appears to be her partner. But no source has produced a marriage certificate, a wedding announcement, or a public statement from Kozlowski referring to Baba as her husband. The claim is best labeled “reported” rather than “confirmed.”

Why reliable confirmation matters

When a celebrity’s private life is covered by entertainment outlets, the chain of evidence is often thin. For Kozlowski, the only direct source on her marital status is the occasional paparazzi photo and unnamed friends quoted in magazines. Readers should treat the “husband” claim as plausible but unverified.

Why did Paul Hogan split up with Linda?

The separation came after more than two decades of marriage. Daily Mail (celebrity news) reported in 2014 that Kozlowski said she “lived in the shadow” of Hogan and wanted to reclaim her own identity.

Separation timeline: 2011 to 2014

• 2011: Kozlowski and Hogan separate.
• July 2014: Divorce finalized. Kozlowski reportedly received a $6.25 million settlement.
• Both have said the split was amicable.

The implication: the divorce was a slow, deliberate process, not a sudden rupture.

Public reasons cited by both sides

Kozlowski told Daily Mail that she felt “pigeonholed” as Mrs. Hogan and wanted to pursue her own interests. Hogan has not publicly detailed the reasons, but he has consistently spoken warmly of Kozlowski in interviews.

Noelene Hogan as context

Paul Hogan was previously married to Noelene Hogan for 23 years (1970–1990). Noelene’s remarriage status is not publicly documented. The comparison is often raised to show a pattern of long marriages ending amicably, but it does not explain Kozlowski’s specific reasons.

Did Linda Kozlowski stay friends with Paul Hogan?

Yes, by all public accounts. Yahoo Entertainment reported in 2025 that Kozlowski reunited with Hogan in Los Angeles to support their son Chance. Parade published photos of the two together in Venice Beach, alongside their son and Kozlowski’s reported partner.

Co-parenting son Chase

Chance Hogan, born in the mid-1990s, has been the focus of joint appearances. Both parents have been photographed together at events related to their son’s interests.

Recent public appearances and comments

In May 2025, Chicago Star Media described the group as “one big happy family” at a Venice Beach outing. Hogan, 85, and Kozlowski, 67, were seen laughing together.

How both have described their friendship

Neither has given a sit-down interview specifically about their post-divorce relationship, but the photographic evidence and the consistent reports from multiple outlets point to a genuinely cordial bond. The pattern: they are not just “polite exes” — they spend leisure time together as a family.

What happened to Linda Kozlowski after she found fame as Sue Charlton?

After the Crocodile Dundee trilogy ended in 2001, Kozlowski stepped away from acting entirely. She did not pursue another film role. Instead, she focused on family and later on a business venture in Morocco.

From Juilliard and Broadway to Crocodile Dundee

Kozlowski trained at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City and performed on Broadway before her film debut. Wikipedia notes that she appeared in the soap opera “The Edge of Night” and in a Broadway production of “The Pirates of Penzance.”

Reprising Sue Charlton in sequels

• Crocodile Dundee (1986) — her breakout role.
• Crocodile Dundee II (1988) — she returned as Sue Charlton.
• Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001) — her final film appearance.

She did not appear in the 2001 TV series spin-off or any other film after that.

Retirement from acting and current life

Kozlowski has not publicly explained her retirement in detail.
