Nearly a year after the death of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, his daughter Brooke Hogan is sharing an emotional and deeply personal look at the grief she continues to carry — including the painful feeling that she might have been able to save him.

Speaking with Fox News Digital while promoting the new season of “Rock the Block,” Brooke revealed that the loss of her father still weighs heavily on her heart.

“I talk to my dad every day and… I’m like, ‘What in the heck were you doing? I just wish I was there because you would still be here today,’” she said. “I have this feeling in me that, like, I could have saved you.”

Still, she acknowledged the deeper truth behind that grief, adding, “If love would have saved you, you’d be alive today because of how much love I have for him.”

Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, died on July 24, 2025, at age 71 after suffering a cardiac event at his Florida home. At the time of his death, Brooke and her father were estranged — something she says continues to leave her with unanswered questions.

“And the only thing that sucks is that I just will never have answers. I’ll never get to ask the questions I wanted to ask,” she admitted. “I tried even when he was alive… he didn’t ever want to be soft.”

Despite that distance, Brooke says her connection to her father hasn’t disappeared. In fact, she believes it has taken on a new form.

“I’m so glad you’re out of pain,” she said when asked what she would tell him today. “He was in so much pain, so much pain. And I’m glad that I get to have… almost an even better relationship with him now, where I can, like, talk to him honestly.”

She also shared that she still speaks to him regularly.

“I’m honest with him now, and I talk to him all the time, even if that seems like I’m a cuckoo bird,” she said. “If he showed up today, I would just be like, ‘I love you so much, and I wish you would have just let me in.’”

That lingering pain has followed her into her professional life as well. While filming “Rock the Block,” Brooke found herself reflecting on whether her father ever fully understood the life she built on her own.

“I don’t think he ever really understood the business that I had built,” she said. “I don’t really think he fully understood just how hard it was to build from the ground up with nobody’s help by myself.”

Brooke, who launched her interior design firm BB Designs by Brooke in 2018, described landing the HGTV show as a major milestone — one she wishes her father could have fully appreciated.

“In that moment I was like, ‘I wonder if he knows what a big deal this is,’” she said.

Her co-star, Scott McGillivray, said he saw firsthand the emotional weight she carried during filming.

“There was a lot of times in our house where Brooke and I got into some pretty heavy conversations,” he shared. “I think people are going to see more than just the renovation — they’re going to see people transformations as well.”

As Brooke navigates this new season of life — both on and off screen — she continues to wrestle with grief, love, and the things left unsaid. But through it all, one message remains clear: her bond with her father, though complicated, never truly faded.

“If my love could have saved you,” she wrote in a recent tribute, “you would have lived forever.”
