Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleHulk Hogan's daughter Brooke has returned to the headlines with candid revelations about a years-long estrangement from her family. Alongside shocking insights about her late father sleeping with one of her closest friends and her mother denying the truth, the reality TV star has also spoken up about her bitter feud with her brother, Nick Hogan.
In a new interview with Us Weekly, Brooke explained that her once-strong bond with Nick has deteriorated over the years. Things worsened after Nick backed down from openly supporting her in her fight against Hulk's affair with her friend.
Brooke's revelations come as a sharp contrast to what Nick said he feels about her in an earlier interview. Amid the siblings' estrangement, Nick's words about his sister have resurfaced.
Hulk Hogan died on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71, after suffering a cardiac arrest in his Clearwater home. A year after his death, Nick Hogan opened up about how he feels about his sister, Brooke, amid the family's ongoing rift. In an August 2026 interview with TV Insider, the 36-year-old shared that he and Brooke keep supporting each other. He praised his sister and said:
"I’m so proud of Brooke. I’m so excited for everything she has got going on. 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."
Nick also celebrated Brooke’s personal life, including her marriage to Steven Olesky and the couple's twins, Oliver and Molly, born in 2025. He was quoted as saying:
"This is just a really exciting time for her. She had twins. She got married. We’re just really excited for everything that’s going on for her."
In an April 2026 interview with Us Weekly, Brooke, too, spoke fondly about her and Nick's relationship, while noting that broken families can be especially difficult for siblings because they may feel pressured to take sides. Despite having different experiences growing up, Brooke said she and Nick remain connected. She said:
"The saddest thing about broken families is the siblings. The siblings suffer the most because you’re always forced to take a side... No matter what trouble my brother gets into, no matter what he does or who he is, that’s my brother. Even if we don’t talk, my brother is a very kind person."
In her new interview with Us Weekly, Brooke broke her silence on her bitter feud and growing estrangement from Nick. She said that while the siblings never had a major fallout, their distance grew after their dad, Hulk Hogan, began dating Brooke's friend, Sky Daily.
Brooke said she and Nick had both been concerned about their father getting into another serious relationship because they felt he had a pattern of quickly getting into relationships, as he did not like being alone. She shared:
"It was the fact that both of us knew my dad had a pattern, and that he couldn’t be alone for long, and we both agreed that he’s somebody that needs a companion."
Brooke alleged that her estranged brother, Nick, shared some of her concerns but did not publicly support her when she wanted them to stand together. She described him as someone who avoids conflict and tries to keep everyone happy.
Brooke wished Nick had spoken more openly about their father’s relationship, believing financial independence can make it easier to disagree without fear of losing support. She said they remained in contact before Hulk Hogan’s death in July 2025.
Brooke says she has not completely given up on repairing her relationship with Nick, but she "would have to see some empathy...effort...some actual respect, not fake praise."
