Brooke Olesky Honors Hulk Hogan with Beach Tribute

At 38 years old, Brooke Olesky posted a series of nostalgic photos and videos on Instagram to honor her late father, Hulk Hogan, who died in July 2025 at age 71. The images show Brooke relaxing on the beach in a neon-yellow bikini, reflecting on her father's love for the ocean.

Brooke’s Tribute to Hulk Hogan

Brooke’s post includes a mix of personal memories and family moments, featuring snapshots of Hulk Hogan smiling on a boat, grilling at sunset, and spending time with his grandchildren by the sea. One video captures Hulk counting down to zero as the sun sets over the ocean horizon, highlighting his connection to the water.

She wrote, “Needed some time with my thoughts, my daddy and the ocean he loved so much. Every wave hit my heart like a memory that felt like it was yesterday. The waves carried the bass in his voice, the salt water felt like his hugs. The smell of the ocean smelled like so many days on the boat we spent together.”

Emotional Reflections and Family Matters

Brooke recalled her father “whisking” her “across the surf” and expressed a wish to “breathe underwater” to be closer to him, sharing that she had cried “endless” tears that day. In 2023, she chose to be excluded from her father’s will to avoid potential family disputes, although she still receives a small amount from a life insurance trust.

Continuing the Legacy by the Sea

In a separate Instagram post from August, Brooke showcased her twins, Oliver and Molly, on the beach while wearing a white swimsuit. She reiterated her inherited love for the ocean, a passion she shares with her father. Brooke married former NHL player Steven Oleksy in 2022, confirming the marriage publicly in 2024.
