Hulk Hogan's last conversation with estranged daughter Brooke revealed
Hulk Hogan and his daughter, Brooke Hogan, may have had a rocky relationship in recent years, but they still had a lot of love for each other. 'He was very proud of her, she was his little girl,' a source close to Hogan family tells Page Six. 'We still can't believe he is gone.' Brooke and Hulk have been estranged since September 2023 when the 37-year-old skipped out on her father's wedding to Sky Daily. In light of Hulk's tragic death, their final emotional conversation has now been revealed. Their last conversation, which allegedly took place two weeks before her father tied the knot with Daily, involved Brooke telling her father she loved him, reports TMZ. Brooke allegedly told her father how deep love and concern for his well-being went, and shared she wanted him to slow down his career due to his health problems. While Hulk didn't listen to his daughter's advice, he did extend a vague apology to his daughter. Brooke had been estranged from her dad due to a series of issues they'd been experiencing and Hulk's alleged treatment of her. On several occasions, Brooke's husband Steven Oleksy allegedly tried to mend their relationship. But, his efforts were fruitless as sources said Hulk was mainly interested in a relationship with his daughter on his terms. Sources close to Brooke claim she's told those around her that she's 'grateful' that she said 'I love you' to her father in their final conversation and is 'at peace' with their relationship knowing she did all she could to fix their situation. Insiders went on to tell the outlet that Brooke learned of the WWE star's death from her brother, Nick, who texted her husband to inform him of the news. The wrestling legend was pronounced dead after Clearwater Fire & Rescue personnel were dispatched to his Clearwater, Fla., home late Thursday morning in response to a call about a 'cardiac arrest.' He was 71. 'Unfortunately, we must confirm that Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, passed away this morning,' his reps said in a statement, confirming his death. 'We are heartbroken. He was such a great human being and friend.' His passing came soon after Daily shut down negative rumors about his health earlier this month after Hulk had underwent an 'intense surgery' in May. 'His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage. None of those rumors are true,' she said at the time, responding to rumors that he was in a coma. 'He's been recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), which is an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process,' she continued. An ACDF is a procedure that removes a damaged intervertebral disc from the spine in the neck. 'If you look it up, you'll see what the last six weeks have involved… not just for his spine, but also for his vocal cords, and the eating/breathing tubes that are clamped over during surgery.' After his procedure, he had been 'in an out of the hospital to support that recovery.' Hulk is survived by Daily, his first wife, Linda Hogan, and the children they shared: Brooke and Nick.

Revealed: Why Hulk Hogan's estranged daughter will receive nothing from wrestling legend's will
Hulk Hogan 's daughter won't inherit a dime from her late father's estate after their rift towards the end of his life. The WWE legend died at the age of 71 last week after suffering fatal cardiac arrest. Brooke revealed on Tuesday that she 'had to step away to protect my heart' in the final two years of his life. And not only did she remove herself from his everyday life, she also removed herself from his will. The 37-year-old, who is married to former NHL player Steven Oleksy, feared being caught up in a bitter financial battle in the wake of her father's death, according to TMZ. Brooke reportedly didn't trust anyone in Hogan's inner circle and asked to be removed as a beneficiary of his estate in 2023 - the same year as her final conversation with the wrestling icon. The television personality's priority had always been to protect her famous father from those she felt were taking advantage of his fame and fortune. Brooke reportedly attempted to address the issue with her father but after years of it falling on deaf ears and disagreeing with him over the matter, she contacted his financial manager and made the decision to be excluded from the will. While she is said to be disheartened that Hogan didn't trust her to have his best interests at heart, she has never been motivated by his fortune. Hogan's estate is estimated to be worth $25million, according to reports. It is currently unclear who will inherit his estate, trademarks, intellectual property and other assets. Brooke is still set to receive some money from a small life insurance trust Hogan took out, according to the report. Brooke, as one of the beneficiaries, is grateful for the sum and reportedly intends to put it towards her children's college funds. She welcomed twins - a boy and a girl - with her husband in January. However, the late wrestler never met his grandchildren before his death, despite efforts from Oleksy to reconcile the estranged father and daughter. 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 Daily and the pair were married up until his death on Thursday. Brooke and her father last spoke nearly two years ago in September 2023 only weeks before he married his third wife 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. She welcomed twins with husband Steven Oleksy in January but Hogan never met them Despite multiple attempts from her husband to fix their relationship, including when Brooke almost died in childbirth, Hulk 'responded coldly and never made an effort to meet Brooke's kids,' per TMZ. Back in March, Linda accused her former husband of being a 'complete liar' and 'sex addict'. She also claimed their family is 'in the worst mess' after Brooke cut both parents out of her life. Brooke later retaliated, hitting back at her mom by alleging that her dad was not the only reason behind the shocking family divide, claiming she was 'verbally and mentally abused' during her childhood. After Brooke's stunning response, Linda then took a dramatic U-turn by defending Hogan and branding her daughter a 'narcissist.' Brooke broke her silence on the family feud on Tuesday in the wake of her father's death, claiming that she and Hogan 'never fought' but rather she felt the need to step away to protect her own emotions. 'He was telling me these things, being so vulnerable with me and heard my pleas, then suddenly something shifted, and he made a choice to walk the path that clearly tore at his spirit,' she wrote in a statement shared to Instagram. 'I felt a disconnect. What followed were respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll on me.' 'During the last two years, I had to step away to protect my heart. My husband stayed open, quietly reaching out to my dad without me knowing, trying to find a safe way back in for me. After my father passed, I read those messages, some answered, some ignored... but all of them broke my heart.' Even amid their estrangement, Brooke and her husband Steven found a touching way to honor the wrestling icon. Hogan's estranged son-in-law, former NHL star Steve Oleksy, also broke his silence The couple included a sweet nod to Hogan in the name of one of their twins, it was revealed last week. Their daughter's full name is Molly Gene Oleksy - the same middle name as the late wrestler's. 'I know in my heart I did everything I could,' Brooke concluded. 'He knew I would run through a burning building for him. And in many ways, along the path of life, I did. He knows how deeply, how hard and how purely I loved him. I am at peace knowing this.' Oleksy, who is known for his stints with NHL teams, the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, married Brooke in 2022. He also broke his silence on Tuesday, sharing a photo of the trio alongside a statement that read: 'My wife and I have not released any official statement about the death of my father in law. 'We are grieving and processing privately and ask for the respect to do so. If you see or hear something it did not come from us. There are many disturbing AI videos circulating that do not represent our family, feelings, or opinions. Thank you very much for the love, support, and understanding.'

She continued, saying that she 'had always wanted to be a mom, but that feeling started slipping the more I experienced heartache, exhaustion from building my business, and started seeing people and things so clear... age helps with that I guess.' 'But one day Steve and I were talking about life... and how we are really trying to keep God in our hearts with everything we do. God said 'be fruitful and multiply,' and basically build his army!!! Well, I would definitely say we multiplied!'
