Brooke Hogan, the daughter of late WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, reportedly removed herself from her father's will in 2023, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to TMZ Sports.

Brooke, 37, reportedly "didn't trust a single person around" her father and wanted to avoid a financial battle that could potentially ensue after his death. The sources claimed that Brooke wanted to protect her father from others taking advantage of him, but eventually reached out to his financial manager to have herself removed from his will after years of disagreements on the issue.

Last week, TMZ reported that Brooke showed concern for her father's health during their final conversation in 2023. Brooke was reportedly notified about her father's passing after her brother, Nick, texted her husband.

The former Brooke Knows Best star had a fractured relationship with her father and last spoke to him two weeks before his wedding to Sky Daily in September 2023, at which point she reportedly expressed deep love and concern that he shouldn't be working so hard due to his declining health. Hulk, 71, reportedly downplayed the warning, but also apologized to Brooke for an unspecified reason during the phone call.

A source with knowledge of the situation claimed that Brooke's concern was from a place of love despite it not being well-received. Brooke's husband, former professional hockey player Steven Olesky, reportedly made multiple attempts to mend the relationship between his wife and her father, specifically after she faced a critical health issue during childbirth, however, Hulk reportedly gave cold responses and never made an effort to meet his grandchildren, with sources claiming to TMZ that he only wanted a relationship with his daughter on his terms.

Brooke is, however, reportedly grateful that she got to tell her father "I love you" during their final conversation and is at peace, according to the sources. WWE confirmed Hulk Hogan's death in tribute posts shared on its social media account following TMZ Sports' initial report on Thursday (July 24).
