Brooke Hogan is opening up about the moment that changed her relationship with her late father forever. In a new interview, the singer said her bond with Hulk Hogan "was never the same" after he slept with one of her close friends, Christiane Plante, while still married to her mother Linda — a betrayal that helped end their 24-year marriage in 2007, according to TMZ.

"A major turning point came after he slept with my friend Christiane," Brooke said, per SheKnows. "I forgave him, but something between us changed afterward. I don't think he ever related to me in quite the same way again."

Brooke, who was estranged from Hulk when he died in 2025, said her family held "tremendous love" alongside real "dysfunction" and "betrayal," adding: "Public perception reduces families into heroes and villains. Real families aren't that simple."
