What Led To Hulk Hogan And His Estranged Daughter, Brooke Hogan's Feud? Here's The Truth

The passing of legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan, at the age of 71, has left a void in the world of professional wrestling. For the unversed, Hulk took his last breath on July 24, 2025. He is survived by his wife, Sky Daily. Hulk had three marriages, and two of them led to divorce. He tied the knot with his first wife, Linda, in 1998, and the couple welcomed two children, Brooke Hogan and Nick Hogan. Besides being a professional wrestler, Hulk had always been a protective father. The chemistry of the father and daughter was once the talk of the town, when the duo co-starred in the American reality documentary television series, Hogan Knows Best.

The reality show also showcased Hulk’s then-wife, Linda, and his son, but it was the relationship between the father and daughter that stole the show. However, the duo, who once shared an inseparable bond, had not been on speaking terms for the past eight years or more. But do you know, Hulk’s estranged daughter, Brooke, once defended her father, after the latter found himself in hot water for making a controversial racist remark? Yes, you read it. Back in 2006, the legendary American wrestler was fired from WWE for making a racist comment, but it was his estranged daughter who defended him. So, without further ado, let’s jump in to know what went wrong between them.

When Hulk Hogan's ex-wife, Linda Hogan, revealed that their daughter, Brooke Hogan, had a huge fight with the former

According to multiple reports, earlier this year, in March 2025, Hulk’s ex-wife, Linda, claimed that she had not been on speaking terms with her daughter, Brooke, over the past eight years. Linda shared that it had been 15 years or more since she got divorced from Hulk, and her family had become a mess. She revealed that after her daughter had a huge fight with her dad, Hulk, she stopped talking to her as well. Linda also shared that their daughter didn’t invite them to her wedding and hadn’t informed them about her twin children. For the unversed, Brooke tied the knot to Steven Oleksy in 2022, and the couple welcomed twins in January 2025.

Brooke Hogan's absence at Hulk Hogan's marriage to Sky Daily raised many eyebrows

Hulk got married for the third time to Sky Daily on September 22, 2023. However, it was Brooke’s absence at their wedding which raised many eyebrows. In the same month, Brooke wished her father a new beginning and also confirmed that she is not on good terms with her dad. Taking to her Instagram handle, she penned a heartfelt note. The note can be read as:

"My family has experienced a lot of change. With all of it happening in the public eye, I’ve had to learn how to best navigate those changes as they come, which has been difficult to say the least. For my own journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family and am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals, and values. I wish him well."

Brooke Hogan earlier shared why she separated herself from her parents

Earlier this year, in March 2025, a source told US Weekly that Brooke might have distanced herself from her parents due to emotional turmoil she had to face due to their divorce in 2007, which was finalised two years later. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Brooke claimed that throughout her childhood, she had to face verbal and emotional abuse. In her Instagram Story, she made it clear that it was not directed at her parents, but their relationship surely had a negative impact on her. In her words:

"I have been extremely verbally and mentally abused since childhood… …Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it’s not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes… I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents. No contact with my mom has nothing to do with my dad, and no contact with my father has nothing to do with my mother. … This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me my entire life."

Brooke expressed that she always dreamed of having a normal family that remained united through thick and thin. Brooke also shared that she had tried her level best to mend things between her parents, but everything had gone in vain. She revealed that although she needed space, sometimes she just craved to have her parents by her side. In her words:

"I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition. I’ve repeatedly held my hand out to help them, only to have them pull me into the darkness with them. My heart hurts every day, and not a day passes that it does not affect me. Inside of me, there is a little girl who desperately wants and needs her mom and dad. No one wants this, to feel so much pain and not have parents … I hope, one day, they realise, appreciate and respect why I’ve chosen to remain as quiet as possible."
