Hulk Hogan Dies Estranged, Never Meets Grandchildren

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who passed away on July 24 at age 71, never met his estranged daughter Brooke Hogan's twins, Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene, born earlier this year, as he reportedly showed no interest in restoring ties with Brooke or meeting his grandchildren. Brooke's husband, former NHL player Steven Oleksy, revealed that despite multiple attempts to connect, including text messages after the twins' birth and a planned visit involving Brooke's brother Nick, Hogan remained distant. Brooke and Oleksy had moved to Florida to be closer to Hogan during his declining health, with Brooke caring for him through nearly 25 surgeries, yet the relationship deteriorated, leading Brooke to step away for her own protection. Brooke described their estrangement as marked by private, emotional phone calls but no major fights, and noted a sudden shift when Hogan stopped involving her in his medical struggles. Sources suggest the strained bond was influenced by Hogan's 2007 divorce from Brooke's mother, Linda, which caused significant family damage. Following Hogan's death, Brooke expressed a continued sense of her father's presence despite their fractured relationship and removed her name from his will years earlier.
