Brooke Hogan Clarifies Her Bond With Late Dad Hulk Hogan in Candid Statement
Riley Carter here with a chill update on Brooke Hogan’s first public reaction to her dad Hulk Hogan’s passing. Another day, another heartfelt celebrity moment.
Brooke Hogan has just shared her first public statement since wrestling icon Hulk Hogan died on July 29, 2025 after suffering cardiac arrest, according to TMZ. In a lengthy Instagram post she explains they shared “a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes,” adding that she felt part of her spirit leave when she sensed his final moments before the official news broke.
In her post Brooke highlights how her children carry on Hogan’s legacy. She mentions her daughter who bears his middle name and even sometimes catches his familiar scent. Brooke says she is grateful for knowing “the real HH,” not just the persona the public saw through a “carefully curated lens.” The message reinforces that her father’s memory lives on through her family.
The Wrestling Hall of Famer reportedly told Brooke “all of this is temporary and I’ll always find my way back to you.” She says she truly believes his word and that knowing he’s at peace “out of pain” offers her comfort. She also recalls Hulk Hogan describing meeting God as “the greatest championship he’d ever have.”
Brooke addresses confusion around their relationship status before his death. She denies there was ever “one big fight,” insisting they never argued publicly. Instead, she refers to a series of private calls in which Hogan confided in her about health concerns and business matters. She moved to Florida to be closer, only to discover “everything started getting covered in a thick veil” and felt “like there was a force field around him that I couldn’t get through.”
Respectful disagreements followed but became emotionally challenging. Brooke admits she had to step away for about two years to protect her heart. Despite distance, she stresses her father always knew how much she loved him and that understanding gave her peace.
Through her statement Brooke reiterates the simple things she craved most: honesty, love and a genuine connection. She says they experienced those few special years fully and that those memories “will last a lifetime.”
Brooke’s post closes on a note of gratitude and acceptance. It leaves fans with a clearer view of their private bond and a reminder that grief doesn’t erase love. Okay cool, so like, yeah that happened.
