💔 “Hulk Hogan Snubbed His Own Grandkids? Inside Brooke Hogan’s Heartbreaking Final Plea and Family Rift That Never Healed”
Brooke Hogan Fought for Family—But Hulk Hogan Turned His Back in His Final Days
WWE legend Hulk Hogan may have been a titan in the ring, but behind the scenes, his personal relationships painted a very different picture—especially with his daughter, Brooke Hogan. Now, after his passing, the world is learning the heartbreaking story of how Brooke and her husband, former NHL star Steven Oleksy, tried everything to reconnect with Hulk—only to be met with silence, even when it came to his own grandchildren.
A Love That Withstood the Storm
Brooke Hogan met Steven Oleksy in 2018, shortly after his retirement from professional hockey. Sparks flew instantly—they bonded over fitness, music, and strong family values. Their love story quickly blossomed into an unbreakable partnership, with friends describing them as “inseparable.” Steven supported Brooke’s career while she helped him transition into post-sports life.
But their love was soon tested by one painful, unfixable reality: the rift with Hulk Hogan.
The Painful Distance Between Hulk and His Daughter
Despite their efforts, Hulk Hogan never made peace with Brooke. According to Steven Oleksy, the couple tried multiple times to reach out, especially after the birth of their twins, Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene, in January. But each attempt to reconnect was ignored.
Even Brooke’s brother, Nick Hogan, tried to help facilitate a reunion. Still, Hulk Hogan declined to meet his grandchildren—and refused to respond to texts from his son-in-law.
“He had the chance,” said Oleksy, “but he showed no interest.”
Brooke Went All In—But Hulk Pulled Away
Long before Hulk’s health declined, Brooke had been present. She flew to Florida repeatedly—on her own dime—to support him through surgeries and medical complications.
“No one understood his health better than my wife,” Oleksy told PEOPLE. “She did everything—everything—to be there.”
But over time, Hulk withdrew further. According to Brooke, the estrangement didn’t come from one blowout or feud — it was the slow erosion of connection through “a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand.”
Heartbreak After Death: No Goodbye, No Inheritance
Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24, never meeting his grandchildren or reconciling with his daughter.
Following his death, Brooke opened up in an emotional Instagram post, reflecting on unanswered texts and missed opportunities. “Some answered, some ignored… but all of them broke my heart,” she wrote. “I know in my heart I did everything I could.”
Despite the silence, she refused to hold on to bitterness—even declining any inheritance. “That money doesn’t represent accomplishments in the ring,” Oleksy said. “It came at the expense of my wife’s dignity.”
Moving On, But Never Forgetting
Now living in Florida, Brooke and Steven are focused on raising their children in the peaceful life Hulk never got to witness. Though hurt, Brooke finds comfort in knowing she tried everything possible.
“She would’ve run through fire for her dad,” said Oleksy. “And in many ways, she already did.”
As for Brooke’s future? Rumors suggest she’s preparing a return to music—not to escape the pain, but to channel it into her art.
In the end, Brooke Hogan chose love, family, and grace—even when her legendary father didn’t choose her back.
