As the wrestling world is still grieving the loss of Hulk Hogan, details have emerged of a "tearful conversation" he had before his passing. The Hulkster passed away on July 24, 2025, due to a heart attack in his Clearwater, Florida, home.
Following his passing, there have been many rumors and speculations about his relationship with his daughter, Brooke Hogan. There have been reports of a rift between the father-daughter duo in the past, but Brooke clarified that they had made amends before his shocking death.
Now, the National Enquirer has shared details of the emotional conversation Brooke and The Hulkster had days before his passing. According to the report, Brooke reached out to her father days before the tragedy to repair their relationship.
“It was a tearful conversation, albeit a short one. Brooke told her dad how much she loved him, how much she missed him. Hulk said he loved her, and he was sorry. That was huge for Brooke to hear. Everyone knew how stubborn Hulk could be, but his fading health obviously softened him up. He knew he was dying and begged her forgiveness,” an insider told the National Enquirer.

The report added that even when Brooke wasn't speaking with Hulk Hogan, she cared about him and was worried about his health. Earlier, it was reported that Brooke asked to be left out of Hogan's will in 2023 because she didn't completely trust the people around him.
"Brooke can’t help the current state her family is in right now. She’s still estranged from her mother, Linda, 65, but she can go on knowing her dad loved her and there was peace between them before he died,” the report further added. [H/T: National Enquirer]
Brooke's absence from WWE's tributes for Hulk and Nick Hogan's presence raised questions about the relationship between the father-daughter duo. However, she clarified in an Instagram post that their "bond has never broken."
Hulk Hogan allegedly kept a massive secret from ex-wife
While Brooke Hogan seemingly opted out of her father's vast fortune, the speculation was rife over how his reported $37 million wealth would be distributed.
Bubba the Love Sponge revealed on TheBubbaArmy that Hulk Hogan once gave him a credit card that had over $4 million in it and had kept it hidden from Linda Hogan, his ex-wife.
"I go 'Hogan, there's $4.25 million and like 87 cents.' He goes, 'For real?' I go, 'Yeah.'" [11:58 - 12:07]
