March 28, 2025 — Brooke Hogan, daughter of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has publicly addressed her family’s internal conflicts and celebrated the birth of her twins earlier this year.
Family Estrangement
In a recent Instagram post, Brooke Hogan, 36, revealed her decision to distance herself from both parents, citing a history of verbal and mental abuse. She emphasized that her estrangement from her mother, Linda Hogan, is independent of her relationship with her father, Hulk Hogan, and vice versa. Brooke expressed that she has often been misinformed, manipulated, and lied to, leading to her choice to step back for personal healing. She also highlighted feeling used and misled, which caused personal and professional challenges.
Linda Hogan’s Perspective
Linda Hogan, 65, shared her emotional turmoil on social media, expressing sorrow over the family’s disintegration. She accused Hulk Hogan of being a “sex addict” and a “liar,” attributing the family rift to his actions. Linda disclosed that she has not communicated with Brooke for nearly eight years and was unaware of her daughter’s marriage to professional hockey player Steven Oleksy in 2022 or the birth of her grandchildren in January 2025. Despite the estrangement, Linda maintains a close relationship with her son, Nick Hogan.
Hulk Hogan’s Marital History
Hulk Hogan, 71, has remarried twice since his divorce from Linda in 2009. He married Jennifer McDaniel in 2010; the couple divorced in 2022. In 2023, he wed Sky Daily. Brooke was notably absent from her father’s recent wedding, later explaining that she chose to distance herself from family events to focus on her personal healing and happiness.
Brooke Hogan’s Personal Milestones
Amidst family tensions, Brooke has experienced significant personal milestones. She married Steven Oleksy in a private ceremony on June 8, 2022, in Orlando, Florida. The couple welcomed fraternal twins, Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene, on January 15, 2025. Brooke shared her joy on Instagram, posting a photo holding her newborns and expressing that her heart has been made whole with their arrival.
