Hulk Hogan’s kids, Brooke and Nick, have navigated fame, family turmoil, and personal struggles. Find out how their lives have changed now they’re in their 30s, including their private family battles and new beginnings.
Hulk Hogan’s children, Brooke and Nick Hogan, grew up in the public eye as part of their father’s wrestling empire and the family’s reality TV show. Known for their appearances on “Hogan Knows Best,” the siblings were once fixtures in the tabloids. Now in their 30s, both have taken very different paths, dealing with personal transformation and family conflict along the way.
Brooke Hogan, 37: From Reality TV to Family Drama
Brooke Hogan, 37, first rose to fame as the daughter of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and starred in the reality show “Hogan Knows Best”. But by 2008, she was ready to step out on her own, launching her VH1 spinoff show, “Brooke Knows Best”, which followed her move to Miami and attempts at a music career.
However, behind the scenes, family turmoil was brewing. In 2008, her parents’ 24-year marriage fell apart after it was revealed that Hulk had an affair with Brooke’s former best friend, Christiane Plante. This scandal sparked a war of words between her parents, with Linda accusing Hulk of cheating, and Hulk’s team accusing Linda of seeking attention.
Despite the chaos, Brooke found love with Ice hockey player Steven Oleksy, whom she married in June 2022. Yet family conflict continued to linger, with Linda accusing Brooke of distorting the past and calling her a narcissist.
In March 2025, Linda shared a Facebook post accusing her daughter of distorting the family’s history, which led to an emotional response from Steven defending Brooke’s character. However, Brooke largely remained silent, especially when it came to her father.
Despite the strained relationship with Hulk, Brooke had one final, emotional conversation with him before his 2023 wedding to Sky Daily, where they expressed love for one another. Brooke later learned of his passing in July 2025 from Nick, expressing gratitude for the last chance to speak with him.
Nick Hogan, 34: From Troublemaker to Personal Struggles
Like his sister, Nick Hogan, 34, grew up in the public spotlight, becoming known for his cheeky troublemaker persona. But 2007 marked a turning point in his life after he was involved in a devastating car crash in Clearwater, Florida, which critically injured his passenger, John Graziano. Nick, at just 17 years old, served five months in jail for reckless driving.
The crash brought national attention to the Hogan family, and Nick struggled with guilt, admitting in a 2010 interview that he still struggled with the aftermath of the accident.
However, in 2023, Nick’s troubles resurfaced when he was arrested for driving under the influence in Clearwater. Police noted that he appeared impaired and refused a breathalyzer test. This marked another chapter of legal and personal struggles for the youngest Hogan sibling.
Family Struggles and New Beginnings
In March 2025, Linda Hogan posted a video lamenting the estrangement from Brooke, but also shared her enduring relationship with Nick, calling him “such a good boy.” Nick’s marriage in January 2025 to his wife marked a new chapter in his life after years of turmoil.
However, the loss of Hulk Hogan in July 2025 was another emotional moment for Nick, who shared a heartfelt tribute on social media, writing:
“My dad was the most incredible person I’ve ever known and will always be my hero.”
Brooke and Nick Hogan’s lives have been shaped by public scrutiny, family conflict, and personal transformation, but they remain central figures in the ongoing legacy of Hulk Hogan. As they navigate their 30s, each sibling has taken a different path, facing challenges both publicly and privately.
