Fifteen years after her divorce from wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, Linda Hogan is speaking out about the lasting impact on their family. The 65-year-old took to Instagram Stories this week with startling claims about her ex-husband and the estrangement from their daughter Brooke.
Linda revealed the painful reality of being cut off from 37-year-old Brooke’s life. She missed her daughter’s 2022 wedding to Steven Oleksy and the recent birth of twins Oliver and Molly. “Brooke doesn’t talk to us,” Linda shared. The estrangement reportedly began eight years ago after a disagreement between Brooke and her father. While Linda maintains a relationship with her son, Nick, 34, she describes the family situation as “the worst mess.”
The former Hogan Knows Best star didn’t hold back about her 26-year marriage to the WWE icon, calling him a “complete liar” and “sex addict.” Despite her attempts at reconciliation over two decades, Linda admits, “I’m still this sad.” The 71-year-old wrestler, now married to Sky Daily (his third wife since divorcing Linda in 2009), continues his public persona promoting his Real American Beer brand – something Linda referenced with clear bitterness.
The family drama isn’t new. When Hulk married Daily in 2023, Brooke addressed her absence from the wedding on Instagram, explaining she needed “distance” for her “journey to healing and happiness.” Her statement about focusing on people who “align with my own personal beliefs” hinted at deeper issues within the once-close reality TV family that captivated audiences on Hogan Knows Best from 2005-2007.
Linda’s candid confession paints a stark picture of celebrity divorce fallout, proving that even decades later, some wounds never fully heal. As she puts it: “I don’t ever want to be married again after him, trust me.”
