Hulk Hogan, the iconic wrestling superstar, is currently recovering from significant heart surgery, according to an exclusive report by Us Weekly. The 71-year-old wrestling legend underwent the procedure a few weeks ago and is reportedly doing well in his recovery process. A source close to Hogan reassured fans that while the surgery was serious, it was not life-threatening. “Hulk had pretty serious heart surgery a few weeks ago and was doing well afterward. It wasn’t a near-death thing,” the insider explained.
Rumors about Hogan’s health began to circulate when radio host Bubba The Love Sponge mentioned on air that Hogan was hospitalized and that loved ones were being contacted to say their goodbyes. However, the source clarified that Hogan is not “on death’s door” and is actively recuperating.
Hogan’s health issues come at a time when he is also dealing with personal family drama. Recently, tensions have risen between him and his daughter, Brooke Hogan. Brooke, 35, took to social media in March to explain her decision to distance herself from both her parents, Hulk and Linda Hogan. She stated, “I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents. No contact with my Mom has nothing to do with my Dad, and no contact with my Father has nothing to do with my Mother.”
The family dynamics have been complicated, especially since Linda filed for divorce from Hulk in 2007 after over 20 years of marriage, finalizing their divorce in 2009. Following Brooke’s revelations, sources indicated that Hulk was taken aback by her decision to cut ties, stating that he didn’t fully understand why she has chosen to stop speaking to him.
In addition to family matters, Hogan is also distancing himself from an upcoming film titled “Killing Gawker,” which details his legal battle with the media company Gawker. A source revealed that Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, prefers to remain uninvolved in the film’s development and wants to focus on his recovery and personal life.
Despite the challenges he faces, Hogan has a long history of resilience, having transitioned from a professional wrestling career to reality television and even launching a beer brand. His fans continue to support him during this trying time, hoping for a swift recovery.
As Hogan navigates his health challenges and family issues, he remains a beloved figure in the wrestling community and beyond. His journey is a reminder of the complexities of life, fame, and the importance of family support in times of need. Fans are encouraged to keep him in their thoughts as he works towards a full recovery.
