"I believe my wife upheld her Dad's best interests even after his death," Brooke's husband, NHL star Steven Oleksy, said in an interview.

Brooke Hogan's husband, former NHL player Steve Oleksy, has spoken out about the emotional toll that her father, Hulk Hogan's, fame and fortune has had on her. The 71-year-old wrestling legend, who sadly passed away after suffering cardiac arrest in his Clearwater, Florida home on July 24, was reportedly estranged from his 37-year-old daughter.

Brooke Hogan, 37, and Hulk Hogan's relationship has faced challenges in recent years, including a prolonged period of estrangement. According to public claims made by her mother, Linda Hogan, in March 2025, Brook Hogan had not spoken to either of her parents — who divorced in 2009 — in the past eight years.
