Brooke Hogan Oleksy, daughter of late wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has publicly clarified her personal decision not to attend her father’s funeral, opting instead for a private, intimate remembrance. In an Instagram post shared earlier this week, Hogan Oleksy explained that her father, who passed away last month at age 71, “hated the morbidity of funerals” and did not wish for one.

Choosing a path she felt was most genuine to their bond, Hogan Oleksy honored her father by taking her infant twins, Oliver and Molly (born January 2025), to the beach – a place her father cherished. “We took our babies to the same salty waters you loved,” she wrote, sharing photos of the serene family moment. She added that the only thing missing was her father in his pop-up lawn chair, watching the waves.

The revelation comes amidst prior public discussions about Brooke Hogan’s estranged relationships with both her parents. In March 2025, her mother Linda Hogan (divorced from Hulk Hogan in 2009) posted a video claiming her daughter no longer spoke to either parent. Brooke Hogan addressed these claims on social media, stating her decision for no contact with her mother or father was based purely on their direct dealings with her throughout her life, and had nothing to do with each other’s relationships.

Despite these complexities, Hogan Oleksy had previously shared a statement following her father’s death, emphasizing that their unique bond “has never broken, not even in his final moments,” underscoring a deep, if unconventional, connection.
