Brooke Hogan has created a profound and lasting reminder of her beloved father, Hulk Hogan, by naming one of her twins after him, ensuring that his legacy continues through the next generation.
According to trusted sources close to Brooke, despite the fact that she and Hulk had been estranged at the time she gave birth to her twins in January, she chose to pay a touching tribute to her iconic father by giving her daughter his cherished middle name, Gene. This decision reflects the deep emotional connection that remains between them.

Brooke’s daughter has been named Molly Gene Oleksy, and this choice was made intentionally to honor her grandfather, Hulk Hogan, by incorporating his middle name into her own. This gesture beautifully symbolizes the love and respect Brooke has for her father, reinforcing family ties even in his absence.

Although Brooke and Hulk experienced estrangement for several years leading up to his passing, primarily due to ongoing issues regarding their relationship, sources reveal that at her core, Brooke has always been a devoted daddy’s girl. This enduring bond speaks volumes about their complex yet loving connection.

In fact, it has been reported that one of the primary motivations for Brooke and her husband, former NHL player Steven Oleksy, to relocate to Florida was to be nearer to Hulk and assist with his care. Unfortunately, this support did not materialize as they had hoped, highlighting the complexities of familial relationships.
Regardless of the challenges, Brooke feels grateful that she had the opportunity to express her love for Hulk during their last conversation back in September 2023, a moment she cherishes deeply. This sentiment illustrates the importance of communication and love within families, even amid struggles.
