Linda Hogan Opens Up About Family Drama Following Divorce from Hulk Hogan

Linda Hogan is speaking out about the aftermath of her high-profile divorce from WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan. Over 15 years after their split, the Hogan Knows Best star is reflecting on the toll it’s taken on her family.

In an emotional Instagram video shared on March 26, the 65-year-old opened up about the ongoing family struggles. “It’s been 15—or longer—years since I left Hulk Hogan, and my family is in the worst mess,” Linda tearfully confessed.

Linda, who shares two children—daughter Brooke, 36, and son Nick, 34—with Hulk (real name Terry Bollea), accused him of being a “complete liar” and a “sex addict.” She went on to explain how the fallout from their divorce affected her relationship with Brooke, revealing that the mother-daughter duo hasn’t spoken in nearly eight years.

“Brooke doesn’t talk to us,” Linda shared. “She had twins, she got married, she didn’t tell us… She had a huge fight with Terry. I don’t know how that reflected onto me, but she cut me out too.”

The estrangement with Brooke, who married pro hockey player Steven Oleksy in 2022 and welcomed twins in January, has weighed heavily on Linda. “I haven’t talked to her for seven years, almost eight now,” she said.

Linda’s tearful monologue highlighted her desire for honesty and closure, explaining that she needed to share the truth about her marriage with Hulk and its long-lasting impact on her family. “I’ve given him more opportunities to come back and make up the family,” she said, choking up. “It’s been 20 years and I’m still this sad. Somebody please explain that.”

In contrast, Linda criticized Hulk for seemingly moving on with his career, including promoting his business ventures like his “Real American Beer.” She feels he’s ignoring the pain caused by their family’s unraveling.

Since the divorce was finalized in 2009, Hulk remarried twice, first to Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 (they split in 2022) and then to Sky Daily in 2023. Meanwhile, Linda has focused on her own healing, acknowledging the changing dynamics of family life.
