Brooke Hogan, born Brooke Ellen Bollea on May 5, 1988, in Tampa, Florida, is the daughter of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) and his first wife, Linda Claridge. Now 36, Brooke is the elder sibling to Nick Hogan (born in 1990) and has remained closely tied to the world of entertainment, though in different ways than her father.Brooke first gained attention through the reality show Hogan Knows Best (2005–2007), which gave fans an inside look into the life of the Bollea family.

Her presence on the show, especially her efforts to launch a music career, earned her a dedicated fan base.

In 2006, Brooke released her debut album Undiscovered, which sold over 127,000 copies in the U.S. Her single “About Us” featuring Paul Wall peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. She followed it up with a second album, The Redemption, in 2009. Although the latter failed to match her earlier success, Brooke continued to explore opportunities in entertainment, releasing EPs in 2015 and 2018.

Brooke also starred in her own spin-off, Brooke Knows Best, which ran for two seasons. The show chronicled her move to Miami and her struggles to establish an independent identity away from her father’s towering legacy.

While Brooke never pursued wrestling as a full-time career, she was part of TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) from 2012 to 2013. There, she played an on-screen executive and was involved in storylines, including a romance angle with wrestler Bully Ray.Today, Brooke Hogan is focused on entrepreneurship. She runs a design business called “BB Designs by Brooke” and frequently shares glimpses of her professional and personal life on Instagram.

In January 2025, Brooke welcomed twins, Oliver and Molly, with her husband, former NHL player Steven Oleksy. The couple has mostly stayed away from public controversy and now leads a quiet family life while remaining active on social media.While Brooke Hogan may have stepped out of the wrestling ring, she continues to remain in the public eye - not just as Hulk Hogan’s daughter, but as a singer, TV personality, and now a mother and businesswoman in her own right.Also Read: “FIRE DEF REBEL!”: 4 WWE entrance themes that fans agree missed the mark
