Nick Hogan is shedding light on his current relationship with older sister Brooke Hogan following the death of their late father, Hulk Hogan.
“I’m so proud of Brooke. I’m so excited for everything she has got going on,” Nick, 36, told TV Insider in an interview published on Friday, August 28. “She’s just a phenomenal interior decorator. She has got this business that she started and she just did a new TV show, Rock the Block, and she was fantastic on that.”
Brooke, 38, previously revealed that she was estranged from Hulk in the years prior to his death at age 71 in July 2025. (Documents obtained by Us confirmed that Hulk died of acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, with leukemia CLL, a type of cancer that affects white blood cells, as an underlying contributor.)
In the days after Hulk’s death, Brooke’s husband, former NHL player Steve Oleksy, exclusively told Us that she asked to be written out of her dad’s will.
“I believe my wife upheld her Dad’s best interests even after his death, mustering up all the courage and kindness she could despite still being very hurt,” Oleksy, 40, said. “That money does not represent accomplishments in the ring — the majority of it came at the expense of my wife’s dignity. It was built on hurtful comments about her and her past relationship, which caused pain not only to her, but to many other families.”
Brooke spoke out about her falling out with Hulk in April, revealing exclusively to Us that she felt “powerless” to reach out to him in the last “two years” of his life.
“He said, ‘You go this way, I go that way,’” Brooke recalled. “That hurt. I think that’s what makes me the most annoying member of my family. They know that I will just beat you up until you do the right thing. I could see what was happening with him with the people around him. I could also see his potential and see how life could be. And he just wasn’t there.”
At the time, Brooke suggested that her relationship with younger brother Nick was impacted by her estrangement from their father.
“The saddest thing about broken families is the siblings,” Brooke told Us in April. “The siblings suffer the most because you’re always forced to take a side. Nick and I, even though we had the same parents, we had two very different upbringings and two very different experiences. That is one thing my parents always said: ‘You guys are siblings, you always have to have each other’s back.’ No matter what trouble my brother gets into, no matter what he does or who he is, that’s my brother.”
She added, “Even if we don’t talk — because I haven’t felt supported by him in times where I really needed to feel that, sometimes I feel like he saw the same things I did and wouldn’t be a united front, that’s the thing that hurts me the most — but my brother is a very kind person. He’s very smart. He loves animals. There’s just so many great things about him and so many things that I love.”
Nick offered a much rosier outlook on his current relationship with Brooke in Friday’s interview.
“This is just a really exciting time for her. She had twins. She got married,” Nick said. “We’re just really excited for everything that’s going on for her. I’m so proud of her and, you know, everybody’s doing really well. My mom [Linda Hogan] is doing great right now. My entire family has been so supportive of everything that we’re doing. So, we’re in a really good place.”
The late Hulk and Linda were married for 26 years before finalizing their divorce in 2009. Hulk was married to Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021 and later to Sky Daily from 2023 until his death in July 2025.
