Hulk Hogan’s Daughter Brooke Hogan Breaks Silence On Her Dad’s Death In Emotional Tribute

Brooke Hogan is remembering her late father Hulk Hogan, and revealing why they stopped talking prior to his death. Brooke is the eldest child of Hulk and Linda Hogan. They pair were married from 1983 to 2009 and are also parents to 35-year-old son Nick Hogan. Brooke previously confirmed that she had been estranged from both her parents. In her lengthy tribute posted to Instagram on July 29, she set the record straight on why she stopped talking to her dad, writing there wasn’t a “big fight” that caused a strain in their relationship. “It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know or understand,” she wrote. “My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed.” Brooke then explained she encouraged her dad to take care of himself but one day something changed. “It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn’t get through,” she wrote. Brooke then explained she decided to take a step back from her relationship with her dad to “protect her heart” after they had a series of “respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll” all while she was going through a complicated pregnancy with her twins.
