EXCLUSIVE: Brooke Hogan Breaks Silence in First LIVE Interview on Hulk Hogan’s Death

In a deeply emotional and exclusive live interview, Brooke Hogan, singer, television personality, and daughter of the late wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, has finally spoken publicly for the first time since the shocking news of her father’s passing.

Broadcast live on Good Morning America, Brooke appeared visibly shaken but composed, as she addressed the millions of fans mourning the loss of the man who was more than just an icon to many — and a father to her.

“He was larger than life — to the world, yes — but to me, he was just Dad,” she said tearfully.
“The world saw the muscles, the fame, the ‘Hulkamania.’ But I saw the man who made pancakes in the morning and told me to follow my dreams.”

A Sudden Loss That Shocked the World

News of Hulk Hogan’s (Terry Bollea) death broke just five days ago, sending a wave of disbelief and sadness across the wrestling community and beyond. The cause of death has not yet been publicly confirmed by the family, though early reports suggest complications related to long-standing health issues.

Tributes poured in immediately from WWE legends, Hollywood stars, and fans around the globe. Social media was flooded with heartfelt memories, iconic wrestling clips, and the hashtag #RIPHulkHogan trending worldwide within minutes.

But until now, Brooke had remained silent — grieving privately with her family.

Brooke’s Message to the Fans

In the emotional interview, Brooke took a moment to directly address her father’s devoted fanbase:

“You were everything to him. Truly. He always told me, ‘Without the fans, there’s no Hulk Hogan.’ He loved you more than words can say.”

She also shared personal stories from their final weeks together, revealing that Hulk had been in “a reflective, peaceful place.”

“We had long talks about life, legacy, and letting go,” she said. “He knew his time was coming, and he wanted to make peace with everything and everyone.”

A Complicated but Loving Bond

While the Hogan family has faced public challenges — including reality TV controversies, legal battles, and media scrutiny — Brooke spoke honestly about healing and forgiveness.

“We weren’t perfect. But we loved each other, and we fought to stay a family. And I’m proud of that.”

She also confirmed that a private memorial service will be held next week, with a public tribute event planned for later this year.

“He Was My Hero”

As the interview came to a close, Brooke Hogan looked directly into the camera and offered one final, heartfelt message:

“I love you, Dad. Thank you for being my hero — in the ring, and in life.”

The moment brought both the host and viewers to tears, marking a powerful tribute to a man whose legacy will forever live on in the hearts of millions.
