**“I Love You, Dad” — Brooke Hogan Reflects on Final Call With Hulk Hogan**
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has passed away at the age of 71, leaving behind a complex legacy not just in the ring, but within his own family. Despite years of tension, his daughter Brooke Hogan shared that their final words to each other were filled with love.
Though Brooke notably skipped Hulk’s 2023 wedding to Sky Daily, the two reconnected with a heartfelt phone call just two weeks before the ceremony. According to TMZ, Brooke told her father, “I love you,” and urged him to slow down and prioritize his health. While Hulk reportedly didn’t fully take her advice, he did express regret and offered what sources described as a rare, vague apology.
A family insider revealed, “He was very proud of her. She was his little girl.” Despite their strained relationship, Brooke is said to feel at peace knowing their last conversation ended in love. “She said ‘I love you.’ He said it back. That’s what matters now,” the source shared.
Hulk Hogan — born Terry Bollea — died after suffering cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home. His son, Nick, informed Brooke of the news through her husband.
Earlier this year, Hogan was recovering from an intense four-level spinal surgery, which had taken a toll on his body and voice. While he was once a larger-than-life figure in wrestling, his final chapter revealed a more vulnerable, human side.

You body-slammed into history — but you left this world with words of love.
