Hulk Hogan’s estranged daughter Brooke breaks down in tears amid heartbreak over his sudden death

On Tuesday evening, Brooke Hogan, who is currently estranged from her father Hulk Hogan, was noticeably emotional as she spent time with her family in Orlando. This emotional state might have been due to the recent unexpected passing of her father.

A few short weeks following her father’s sudden heart attack at the age of 71, the well-known TV personality, now 37, appeared deeply saddened by her loss, with tears streaming down her face as she took a walk alongside her husband Steven Oleksy and their seven-month-old twins, Oliver and Molly.

In a gentle gesture, the retired ice hockey player, Oleksy, reassured his wife by placing an arm around her waist while guiding their young children’s stroller along the sidewalk.

Before the death of the WWE legend, Brooke had cut ties with both her parents. Taking a moment to steady herself, she gently rested her hand on his shoulder for comfort.

A source shared with TMZ that Brooke felt touched when she witnessed the sunset, as it brought back memories of her father.

‘She was telling her husband how much Hulk would have loved it,’ the source claimed. 

The most recent occurrence of her being spotted took place just a few days following Brooke’s disclosure about their rift, mentioning that he had yet to meet her kids.

During an interview with TMZ, Brooke expressed discomfort around certain individuals within Hulk’s group, however, she made it clear that his wife Sky Daily, who is 46 years old, was not among them.

She clarified that the distance she maintained was like setting boundaries. This meant there were some individuals he associated with that she wasn’t comfortable with. It wasn’t about Sky specifically; instead, it was several people whom she found questionable due to their past actions. She cautioned her father, “Dad, these situations are cause for concern. Are you planning to address them?

She explained that the six-time WWF champion was ‘never alone. He was always with someone.’

Brooke mentioned that during their last conversation, he seemed to imply something like, “I suppose you must go on with your life, while I must do the same with mine.

‘That was kind of how it was left,’ she said.

Additionally, Brooke recounted an intense encounter she had with her father, which was observed by a contractor who happened to be working on their home at the time.

She shared that her contractor had sent her a message saying, “Everything alright, young one? It was tough for me to watch the events unfold.” As he grew older, her father had developed a certain detachment, and she acknowledged this as acceptable.

On multiple occasions, Brooke made it clear she held no ill feelings towards Hulk’s wife, Sky. However, she expressed her hesitations about remarriage, as portrayed by the Thunder in Paradise actress.

According to reports, he mentioned to Brooke that if he were to end things, it wouldn’t be good. However, when she inquired about the reasons, he simply replied that he didn’t want to discuss it further.

In their text conversations, she mentioned that they had polite disagreements about the possibility of him ending his relationship with Sky. At one point, she expressed her disapproval of Sky as a partner by saying, “I must admit, I haven’t been fond of your choices in dating.

Brooke revealed she thought his behavior was ‘childish’ and would make her cry.

‘There were hurtful things that he kind of said,’ she explained. 

In tribute to her father, Brooke along with her spouse, ex-NHL player Steven Oleksy (aged 39), brought their little ones for a day out at the seashore.

Gene was the late wrestler’s middle name.

In a heartfelt message on social media, she expressed that we paid tribute to you in a manner that resonated with me deeply. We brought our children to the beach, immersing them in the very same salty waves that held your affection.

Back in June 2022, I was there, witnessing the magical union of my beloved stars, Brooke and Olesky, in a secretive wedding ceremony held in sunny Orlando. Unfortunately, their dad wasn’t able to make it, but the love they shared was palpable enough for all!

A few weeks ago, People reported that Brooke’s spouse disclosed they had been keeping in touch with the Hulk. He mentioned that he contacted the Hulk approximately six weeks following the birth of their twins in January.

He stated that he once more sent text messages as a way to get an idea about his current situation, but there was no indication of interest from him.

In April, it was reported that Oleksy had multiple unsuccessful efforts aimed at establishing peace with the renowned wrestler.

Oleksy added: “Brooke was present at every operation over the past two years. Not only did she travel at her own expense, but she also took care of her father during that time. It all seemed very logical.

He mentioned, “Nobody knows about his physical self, treatments, medications, and all other aspects better than my wife.

The Incredible Hulk warmly greeted both Brooke and his son Nick, who is 35 years old and shares an ex-wife, Linda, with him. Hulk was in a marriage with Linda between 1983 and 2009.

Later on, he got married to Jennifer McDaniel in 2010; however, they divorced in 2021. Two subsequent years passed, and then the WWE legend exchanged vows with Sky, remaining married until his demise.

Brooke last had a conversation with her father approximately two years ago, which was in September 2023, just a few weeks before he tied the knot with Sky.

During that conversation, Brooke showed affection and worry towards her father, urging him not to overwork because of his deteriorating health. However, despite her urging him to live life to the fullest, her words seemed to be disregarded. Regrettably, they didn’t have another conversation after that.
