Brooke Hogan Says Family Estrangement Deepened After 'Cruel' Text From Her Mother

The singer and designer describes a grieving process alongside firm boundaries.

Overview

  • Brooke Hogan, in a new Us Weekly interview, says she remains estranged from her mother Linda and her brother Nick after their father’s death last year.
  • She says a “cruel and brutal” message Linda sent to her husband, former NHL player Steve Oleksy, shut the door on any chance of reconciling.
  • Brooke says she had not spoken to Hulk Hogan for about two years before his July 2025 death from a heart attack at age 71, and she now finds some peace by talking to him.
  • The rift escalated after Linda’s Instagram claim that Brooke hid her 2022 wedding and 2025 twins, which Brooke answered with allegations of years of verbal and mental abuse.
  • As background, Page Six reported that Hulk’s will named Nick the sole beneficiary and left Brooke out, and Brooke later told TMZ she was not surprised by that decision.
