Brooke Hogan, the estranged daughter of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, has shared a deeply emotional tribute to her late mother, Linda Hogan, following her passing earlier this year.
Taking to Instagram, the 35-year-old singer and reality TV star posted a series of throwback photos alongside a heartfelt caption, revealing the profound grief she has experienced since losing her mother.
"I miss you so much it hurts," Brooke wrote. "I wish I could hug you one more time and tell you how much I love you."
The post offers a rare glimpse into the complicated relationship between Brooke and Linda, who had been estranged for years prior to Linda's death in February. The mother-daughter duo had a very public falling out after Linda's divorce from Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) in 2009.
A Tumultuous Family History
The Hogan family's private struggles became tabloid fodder over the years, particularly after Hulk Hogan's infamous sex tape scandal in 2012. Brooke had previously sided with her father during the family's various legal battles and public disputes.
Despite their estrangement, Brooke's tribute suggests a desire for reconciliation that never came to fruition. "Life is too short for grudges," she wrote, "and I just hope you knew how much you meant to me."
Fans Show Support
The emotional post has garnered thousands of supportive comments from fans and followers, many praising Brooke for her vulnerability during this difficult time.
Linda Hogan passed away at age 58 after battling health issues in recent years. The cause of death has not been publicly disclosed.
Brooke, who rose to fame alongside her family on the reality show Hogan Knows Best, has largely stepped away from the spotlight in recent years, focusing on her music career and personal life.
