Hulk Hogan 's estranged daughter Brooke got visibly emotional while out with her family in Orlando on Tuesday night following the recent and sudden loss of her dad.
Just weeks after her father died of a heart attack at age 71, the TV personality, 37, looked caught up in grief as tears rolled down her face during a walk with her husband Steven Oleksy and their seven-month-old twins, Oliver and Molly.
Oleksy, a retired ice hockey player, sweetly comforted his wife by wrapping his arm around her waist as he pushed their little ones' stroller down the sidewalk.
Brooke, who went 'no contact' with both her parents prior to the WWE legend's passing, took a deep breath and placed her hand on his shoulder for support.
An insider told TMZ that Brooke 'got emotional seeing the sunset' as it 'reminded her of her father.'
'She was telling her husband how much Hulk would have loved it,' the source claimed.
Her latest sighting comes just days after Brooke opened up about her fallout from Hulk and that he never met her children.
In an interview with TMZ, Brooke said she was uncomfortable with some of the people in Hulk's entourage, but pointed out that did not include his wife Sky Daily, 46.
'The estrangement is a boundary,' she explained, 'So I didn't like certain people he was around. It wasn't Sky, it was a number of people that I did not trust, that I had seen behavior in, and I said, "Dad, flashing yellow signs." Like, "Hey, this is messed up. Are you going to do anything about it?"'
She explained that the six-time WWF champion was 'never alone. He was always with someone.'
Brooke added that during one of their last conversations 'he gave the sentiment of like, "Well, I guess you have to live your life and I have to live mine."'
'That was kind of how it was left,' she said.
Brooke also described a harsh interaction with her father, which was witnessed by a contractor working on a house for them.
'The contractor texted me — and said, "Are you OK, kid? That hurt me watching what I saw." My dad had become a little bit callous in his old age, and that's OK,' she explained.
Oleksy, a retired ice hockey player, sweetly comforted his wife by wrapping his arm around her waist as he pushed their little ones' stroller down the sidewalk.
Brooke reiterated several times that she had no issue with Hulk's widow, Sky, but did reveal the Thunder in Paradise star had some reservations about marrying again.
'If I broke up with her, it'd be bad,' he reportedly told Brooke, but when she asked why, he only answered 'I don't wanna get into it.'
She said they had respectful disagreements via text regarding whether he should break up with Sky at one point telling her 'Well, I haven't approved of who you've dated.'
Brooke revealed she thought his behavior was 'childish' and would make her cry.
'There were hurtful things that he kind of said,' she explained.
To honor her father's memory, Brooke and her husband, former NHL star Steven Oleksy, 39, took their babies to the beach.
Gene was the late wrestler's middle name.
'Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved,' she shared in an emotional post on social media.
Brooke and Olesky married in a private ceremony in Orlando in June 2022. Her father was not in attendance.
Earlier this month, Brooke's husband told People he remained in contact with Hulk and says he reached out 'about a month and a half' after their twins were born in January.
'I sent text messages once again to kind of gauge where he was at, but there was no interest,' he claimed.
Reports back in April claimed that Oleksy had made several failed attempts to 'foster peace' with the wrestling legend.
Oleksy continued: 'She [Brooke] was there for every surgery leading up to the last two years. She would fly down on her own dime, take care of her dad, and it just made a lot of sense.
'No one understood his body, procedures, medications and everything else more than my wife,' he said.
Hulk welcomed Brooke as well as son Nick, 35, with ex-wife Linda - whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009.
He later tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 until their divorce in 2021. Two years later, the WWE legend said 'I do' to Sky and the pair were married up until his death.
Brooke and her father last spoke nearly two years ago in September 2023 only weeks before he married Sky.
On that call, Brooke expressed love and concern for her father - telling him that he shouldn't be working so hard due to his declining health. Despite her pleas for him to enjoy more of his life, those requests fell on deaf ears. The pair didn't speak again.
