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.
