Brooke Hogan Says Father’s Involvement With Friend Changed Their Bond

Brooke Hogan says her father, Hulk Hogan, was involved with her friend Christiane Plante, a disclosure she describes as a major turning point in their relationship. In a recent interview, she said she forgave him but that their bond changed, and that they were estranged when he died in July 2025. Brooke said the involvement occurred while Plante was her friend and her parents’ marriage was ending. Plante previously said publicly that she had been involved with Hulk Hogan. The supplied accounts do not independently establish the details of the relationship; Hulk Hogan’s own response to Brooke’s account is not included. Brooke said forgiveness did not restore the relationship to what it had been. She recalled that she and her father had once been close, and said the painful period did not erase the good memories or the love she felt for him. Her account presents the relationship’s decline as part of a wider family estrangement, rather than attributing it to one event alone. She also described her parents’ divorce and later family tensions as changes that made their relationships more difficult.
