Brooke Hogan Releases Official Statement Following Father Hulk Hogan’s Death: ‘I Will Always Be Your Girl’

On Tuesday, Brooke Hogan’s husband, Steve Oleksy, posted a message on Instagram concerning the passing of his father-in-law, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan. Oleksy noted that neither he nor Brooke had issued a formal statement until then, asking the public for respect and privacy as the family mourns their loss. However, later that same day, Brooke Hogan released an emotional tribute in honour of her late father.

Brooke Hogan’s Statement
“My dad’s blood runs through my veins,” Brooke Hogan wrote via Instagram. “His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments. We had a connection deeper than words — one that spanned lifetimes. I am so grateful that I knew the real version of him, not just the one the world saw through a carefully curated lens. We shared a quiet, sacred bond, one that could be seen and felt by anyone who witnessed us together. When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I sensed it before the news even reached us.

“He used to remind me, ‘All of this is temporary and I’ll always find my way back to you.’ I truly believe that — we will find each other in every lifetime,” she added.

“I know he’s at peace now, free from pain, and in a place as beautiful as he had always imagined. He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope — as if meeting God was the greatest championship he could ever win.”

Brooke also shared a series of photos featuring herself and her father, alongside the heartfelt caption:
“My Dearest Daddy,
You were my everything, and I will always be your girl. I am PROUD to be your daughter — for all the love, light, and goodness you brought into this world. Thank you for choosing me in this lifetime and for loving me so deeply. Our bond is eternal. That truth brings me comfort and hope, even in your absence. I love you more than all the stars in the sky. 4LifeAfterLife. Forever yours, Brooke.”

Linda Hogan Shares Her Grief
Earlier that same day, Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife Linda — who was married to him for 26 years — also shared a deeply emotional reflection on his death.

“I [never] got over him or started a real relationship with anyone. I missed HIM! I’ve been weeping all day. The finality. It’s just shocking,” she wrote in a lengthy social media post.

Despite any previous differences between Linda and Brooke Hogan with the legendary wrestler, their tributes make it abundantly clear that both continued to love him dearly. His passing has evidently left a profound impact on those closest to him.
