Hulk Hogan's daughter Brooke's spouse reveals that her father didn't encounter their twins before his demise.
In the two years leading up to his passing, Hulk Hogan, the iconic professional wrestler, and his daughter Brooke Hogan found themselves in a strained and estranged relationship. This distance was so profound that Hulk did not meet Brooke's twins, Oliver Andrew and Molly Genes, who were born in January 2025.
Brooke's husband, Steven Oleksy, had reached out to Hulk about a month-and-a-half after the twins' birth, hoping to arrange a meeting. However, Hulk showed no interest in meeting the new additions to Brooke's family.
The roots of this estrangement can be traced back to Hulk's messy 2007 split from Brooke's mother, Linda Hogan. This tumultuous event may have left a lasting impact on Hulk's relationship with his daughter.
Brooke, in a public statement, expressed her desire for love, honesty, and a deep connection from her father. However, their relationship was marked by a series of phone calls rather than face-to-face interactions.
As Hulk's health deteriorated, Brooke and her husband Steven relocated to Florida to be closer to him. Despite her efforts, Hulk began icing her out during his last two years, leading Brooke to step away to protect her heart.
Brooke has remained grateful for the good memories shared with her father, despite the complexities of their relationship. She has two beautiful children who remind her of life's greatest gifts.
Following Hulk's death on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71 after suffering a heart attack, Brooke publicly paid tribute to him, sharing personal memories and addressing rumors about their estrangement, emphasizing her respect and love for her father.
Despite the estrangement, Brooke requested to be removed from Hulk’s will to avoid any financial disputes but remains a beneficiary of his life insurance trust, which she intends to use for her children’s college funds.

- Despite the estrangement that lasted years, Brooke Hogan hopes that the world of pop-culture, with its love for icons like Hulk Hogan, can one day bring healing to her and her family, allowing her children to know their grand-father better through entertainment and celebrity stories.
- In a world where health challenges can often bring people closer, the tragic heart attack that took Hulk Hogan's life on July 24, 2025, unfortunately failed to bridge the gap between him and his daughter Brooke, leaving the world of health and healing separated from interpersonal connections within their family.
