Brooke Hogan Says Hulk Wanted Out Before His Third Wedding originally appeared on Parade.
Brooke Hogan is speaking out about her late father’s third marriage, revealing that Hulk Hogan may have had second thoughts before tying the knot with Sky Daily.
During a candid interview on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show on Tuesday, August 5, Brooke, 37, claimed her father confided in her prior to his wedding, allegedly saying, “I’m trying to figure a way out of this thing.” Despite calling Daily “super nice” and saying her children were “darling,” Brooke noted that her father “expressed some concerns in that area.”
Brooke advised him to end the relationship before it got more serious, but according to her, Hulk felt stuck. “Well, if I broke up with her, it’d be really bad,” she recalled him saying — something she said instantly raised red flags.
The former reality star also voiced concern over Daily’s alleged ties to the Church of Scientology, which she said she looked into herself. Though Daily told Hulk she had left the church, Brooke claimed she discovered Sky was “still in good standing,” with the organization. Hulk reportedly explained that his partner didn’t want to be excommunicated so her children could still see their grandparents — an apparent reference to Scientology’s controversial “disconnection” policy.

Brooke said she warned her father to proceed with caution, even suggesting he install “cameras in his house” and just date Daily instead of marrying her. But shortly after a cryptic apology call from Hulk, Brooke said he did a “180” — and married Sky just two weeks later in a private Florida ceremony in September 2023.
Following his death in July 2024, Brooke was shocked to learn Hulk had been battling leukemia — something never disclosed to her. “The leukemia out of nowhere hits me as BS,” she said, adding that no one in the family had a cancer history. She even admitted to thinking his death “wouldn’t have happened if he were with [his second wife] Jennifer McDaniel.”
Hulk’s official cause of death was listed as a heart attack. He died on July 24, 2025 at the age of 71.
