Hulk Hogan had some ups and downs with his family prior to his death at age 71. The WWE legend (whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea) made headlines in 2025 after his daughter, Brooke Hogan, confirmed that she was estranged from her family, which also included mom Linda Hogan and brother Nick Hogan. Brooke claimed in a lengthy March 2025 Instagram post that she was "extremely verbally and mentally abused" throughout her childhood. Linda followed up with a social media post of her own, confirming that she was also estranged from her daughter - claiming they hadn't spoken for eight years.
