Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan's Relationship Had Become Estranged

Hulk Hogan sadly didn't meet Brooke Hogan's twins before his death.
Brooke, 37, and her husband — a former NHL player — relocated to Florida to be closer to her father as his health declined. However, their relationship became estranged over the past two years. Hulk, who underwent more than 25 surgeries in his lifetime, had previously relied on Brooke’s support during the medical procedures, according to her husband.
"She was there for every surgery leading up to the last two years. She would fly down on her own dime, take care of her dad, and it just made a lot of sense," the former NHL star explained. “No one understood his body, procedures, medications and everything else more than my wife.”
