As the Hogan family's internal conflicts continue to unfold, Brooke Hogan's husband, Steven Oleksy, remains in a standstill with his father-in-law, Hulk Hogan, adding another layer to the complex familial dynamics.

AceShowbiz - Former NHL player Steven Oleksy reveals he has been reaching out to Hulk Hogan for years, but to no avail. He expressed his frustrations as his efforts to communicate have gone unanswered.
Despite multiple requests for a "man-to-man conversation" since he began dating Brooke, 36, Oleksy has faced a wall of silence from Hulk, 71. "Unfortunately, that's never been in the cards," a source told Us Weekly, suggesting that Hulk's unresponsiveness has been a long-standing issue.
Oleksy and Brooke quietly tied the knot in June 2022, and their family grew in January 2025 with the birth of their twins, Oliver and Molly. Nevertheless, the couple's joy hasn't muted the ongoing family drama.
Recently, claims made by Brooke's mom Linda Hogan have escalated tensions further. Linda felt snubbed when Brooke didn't reach out about the birth of the twins. In response, Brooke explained she felt the need to protect her mental wellbeing by cutting off her parents.
Brooke openly discussed the verbal and mental abuse she endured during her childhood, noting that the mistreatment often turned physical. "I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition," she lamented.
Linda fired back, calling Brooke a "narcissist" and "selfish." After initially slamming ex-husband Hulk for destroying their family unit, she also changed her tune and called him a "good father."
"The hurt is very, very heavy," the insider said, noting the emotional weight carried by Brooke due to the ongoing discord. "Brooke tries to move more and more away from the letdown time and time again."
Meanwhile, Hulk Hogan remained mum on his family conflict. Instead, he and his new wife Sky Daily seemed to poke fun at the whole situation in an Instagram video where they ate popcorn while making funny faces and teasing about a new family show coming out soon.
This ongoing feud has left little room for reconciliation. The source close to the family said, "There's never been any direct accountability or apology. [Brooke] has fought pretty hard to keep people in a good light. She's protected that for a long time. Accountability is the most powerful word in this entire situation."
With ties strained and communication lacking, the Hogan family's path to healing remains uncertain. Brooke, in her bid for peace, continues to uphold her boundaries, a stance she believes is vital for her well-being.
