Of the millions of Hulkamaniacs who supported the late Hulk Hogan during the 1980s and 1990s, two supported the professional wrestling legend more than anyone else: his children, Brooke Hogan and Nick Hogan. The children, whom Hulk shares with his ex-wife Linda Claridge, were by his side in everything until he passed away in July 2025.
Hulk married his wife Sky Daily in 2023 after a year of dating a yoga instructor before proposing. Their romance began after he split from his second wife, Jennifer McDaniel (Hulk and Jennifer married in 2010 after a two-year relationship. They split in 2022.) Keep reading to learn more about Hulk’s children.
Brooke Hogan (born Brooke Ellen Bollea on May 5, 1988) is a singer, actress, and American television personality. She began her music career in the early 2000s. She released her first single «Everything To Me» in 2004, reaching number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She achieved greater success in 2006 with the song «About Us», - which reached number 33.
By that time, the world knew Brooke through the VH1 reality show «Hogan Knows Best» from 2005 to 2007, in which Brooke, Hulk, her mother Linda, and her brother participated. Brooke got her own show «Brooke Knows Best», - which lasted one season from 2008 to 2009.
Brooke released two albums: «Undiscovered» in 2006 and «The Redemption» in 2009. She returned to music in 2015 with the single «Girlfriend». She also released the song «Taste Like Summer» in 2017. In early 2023, she released a song called «Move».
«As you know, my journey to music has been interesting, sometimes sad», - she wrote, announcing the new track. «Last year we lost the heart and soul of my new music project, Jared. J was a great friend and an incredible producer, and his passing was a big shock to everyone around him. But the Surefire team and I are returning to the incredible things we did together, so yes… music is coming!»
When her music career slowed down in the early 2010s, Brooke focused on acting, appearing in films such as «Sand Sharks», - «2-Headed Shark Attack», - «School of the Dead», - and «L.A. Slasher». In 2012, she joined her father in Impact Wrestling and was at the center of the «Aces & Eights» storyline. She and Impact parted ways in 2014.
Brooke was once engaged to Dallas Cowboys player Phil Costa, but the engagement was called off in 2013.
In 2021, Brooke announced a new project, BB Designs By Brooke. «I started an AirBnB design company in Nashville a few years ago, and it’s doing really well! Built by me from the ground up (yes, seriously, for you haters)», - she wrote in December 2021.
Brooke inadvertently became part of one of the incidents that tarnished Hulk Hogan’s reputation. In 2015, Hogan was involved in a defamation case against the gossip site Gawker (later revealed to be funded by right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel after the site outed him as gay). The professional wrestler sued Gawker for publishing part of a video. During the trial, an excerpt from the video showed Hogan in a racist tirade about Brooke’s love life.
«And then it got to the point… I don’t know if Brooke was f***ing the black guy’s son, or they were just dating», - Hogan said on the recording. «I caught them holding hands on tour. They were getting closer to… I’m not double standard. I’m a racist to a point, you know, f***ing n******s — but when it comes to nice people… I don’t care if she’s f***ing an 8-foot tall basketball player. If we’re gonna f*** with blacks, let’s get rich!»
Hogan was quickly fired from WWE after the tirade, and the organization removed all mentions of him from their website. He later apologized for his words. Hogan and WWE reunited in 2018, and he continued to make appearances on live shows
