Brooke Hogan found some comfort in a final phone call with her estranged father, WWE legend Hulk Hogan, before his death from cardiac arrest on July 24, 2025. Despite years of conflict, Brooke cherished their last conversation in early September 2023, when she urged him to slow down and care for his health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulk offered a vague apology during the call but didn\u2019t follow her advice. Brooke\u2019s husband, Steven Oleksy, had tried to help mend their relationship, though Brooke didn\u2019t attend Hulk\u2019s wedding to Sky Daily. Hulk never met his grandchildren and reportedly sought a relationship on his own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brooke expressed gratitude for being able to say \u201cI love you\u201d before his passing and said she feels peace knowing she did all she could to support him. She also blamed both her parents for the difficulties in her upbringing, despite her mother Linda Hogan placing more blame on Hulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Linda recently broke down in a tearful Instagram video, discussing her loneliness and fractured family relationships. She revealed she hasn\u2019t spoken to Brooke in nearly eight years but remains close to Hulk\u2019s son, Nick. Linda accused Hulk of being a \u201ccomplete liar\u201d and \u201csex addict,\u201d criticizing how he moved on publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brooke responded on Instagram, saying her mother\u2019s video only scratched the surface of their family struggles. She accused both parents of causing pain and shared that she endured years of verbal, mental, and sometimes physical abuse. Brooke vowed to \u201cbreak the chain\u201d and create a healthier future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After cutting ties with her parents, Brooke focused on healing and her own family, welcoming twins Oliver and Molly in January 2025. Though she still longs for her parents, their behavior caused more pain than their absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Linda, meanwhile, has embraced activism and women\u2019s empowerment, encouraging others to rebuild after hardship. Both women continue to navigate the complex legacy of their family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
