Hulk Hogan, the legendary WWE wrestler and pop culture icon, was not only a force in the ring but also a devoted father. The former WWE Championâborn Terry Bolleaâshared two children, Brooke and Nick, with his first wife, Linda Hogan. The family rose to reality TV fame with “Hogan Knows Best,” a show that documented their lives behind the spotlight.
Brooke, the eldest, quickly became a standout in her own right, pursuing music, acting, and even professional wrestling. Now, sheâs entered a new chapter of life: motherhood.
From Cheerleader to Country Artist: Brookeâs Early Life & Career
Born Brooke Ellen Bollea on May 5, 1988, in Tampa, Florida, she was athletic from a young age, dabbling in gymnastics, dance, and cheerleading. She graduated from high school at 16 and pursued a music career shortly after.
Brooke released her first single, âEverything to Me,â in 2004 and went on to tour with artists like Hilary Duff and the Backstreet Boys. She and her father appeared in the VH1 special “(Inside) Out: Hulk Hogan, Stage Dad,” which paved the way for the reality show “Hogan Knows Best.”
Following the end of Hogan Knows Best in 2008âamid family drama and her parentsâ divorceâBrooke launched her spinoff series, “Brooke Knows Best,” which focused on her independence and music journey.
Brooke also had a stint in wrestling. She made her WWE debut in 2006 and later became an on-screen personality for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, continuing the familyâs wrestling legacy.
Inside Brooke’s Family Life
Brooke and former NHL player Steven Oleksy tied the knot on June 8, 2022, but kept the wedding quiet until photos surfaced via TMZ. The next day, Brooke confirmed the marriage in a social media post.
In January of this year, Brooke Hogan, 36, surprised fans by announcing that she had recently welcomed twinsâa baby boy and a baby girlâwith her husband, Oleksy.
âSo⦠just been staying off socials cooking these two cuties,â Brooke wrote on Instagram, alongside photos of her cradling her newborns while wearing a sweatshirt that read âMama est. 2025.â Seated in a wheelchair in front of Steven, she introduced their children as âOliver Andrew Oleksy + Molly Gene Oleksy.â
The Hogan Knows Best alum added in her post, âBorn Jan 15, 2025. Our hearts have been made whole by the arrival of these two sweet souls we get to love. God is good.â
The newborns are the first grandchildren for Hulk Hogan, 71, and his ex-wife Linda, 65. Brookeâs younger brother Nick Hogan, 34, is now an uncle. While Brooke had kept her pregnancy completely private, the announcement was met with excitement and love from fans and friends alike.
Before marrying Oleksy, Brooke was briefly engaged to former Dallas Cowboys center Phil Costa. However, the couple ended their engagement in November 2013.
