From reality TV fame to personal reinvention, Hulk Hogan’s children—Brooke and Nick Hogan—have lived lives shaped by public scrutiny, family upheaval, and quiet transformation.
Brooke Hogan, now 37, first stepped into the spotlight through Hogan Knows Best, later launching her own show Brooke Knows Best. Her early years were marked by ambition and turbulence: a music career, a move to Miami, and the fallout from her parents’ messy divorce. The scandal surrounding Hulk’s alleged affair with Brooke’s best friend fractured the family, and Brooke eventually distanced herself from both parents. Despite public accusations from her mother Linda, Brooke remained largely silent, choosing healing over confrontation.
In 2022, she married NHL player Steven Oleksy, and in January 2025, they welcomed twins, Oliver and Molly. Brooke now runs a successful design business, BB Designs by Brooke, transforming rental properties with flair. Her focus has shifted from fame to family, therapy, and building a peaceful life far from the chaos of her upbringing2.
Nick Hogan, 34, also grew up in the limelight but faced a darker turn. In 2007, a car crash left his friend John Graziano critically injured, and Nick served jail time for reckless driving. Though he expressed remorse, legal troubles resurfaced in 2023 with a DUI arrest. Despite these setbacks, Nick has tried to rebuild, marrying content creator Tana Lea in January 20253.
The siblings’ relationship with their father remained strained. Brooke had one final emotional phone call with Hulk just weeks before his 2023 wedding to Sky Daily. When Hulk passed away in June 2025, it was Nick who informed Brooke through her husband. Despite the distance, Brooke expressed gratitude for that last moment of connection4.
Their story is one of resilience—two children of a wrestling legend who’ve wrestled with fame, family, and identity, ultimately choosing their own paths. Let me know if you’d like this rewritten with a more dramatic or poetic tone.
