Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is on the mend following recent heart surgery, and contrary to viral online claims, his condition was never critical. At 71 years old, the iconic WWE star, whose real name is Terry Bollea, is reportedly recovering well, as per a source cited by Us Weekly.
Not a Life-Threatening Situation
The report clarified that Hogan’s health scare was far from fatal. “Hulk underwent serious heart surgery a few weeks ago but has been doing well since,” the insider shared. “It was never a life-or-death situation.” The source further emphasized that Hogan is not “on death’s door” and continues to make a steady recovery.
Online Rumors Fueled by Radio Host
Concerns about Hogan’s health spiked after a radio segment aired on June 18. Radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge alleged that Hogan was in critical condition, even suggesting that close friends and family were asked to “say their goodbyes.”
However, the report from Us Weekly has firmly refuted these dramatic claims. The insider assured fans that the situation was misrepresented and Hogan’s recovery was progressing positively from the start.
Ongoing Family Rift With Daughter Brooke
The health update also comes during a strained period in Hogan’s personal life. His daughter, Brooke Hogan, 37, has publicly confirmed her decision to distance herself from both her parents. In a candid Instagram post from March, Brooke addressed the emotional separation.
“I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents,” she wrote. “The reasons are deeply personal and based solely on how they’ve treated me throughout my life.”
While Brooke’s post made headlines, it reportedly came as a surprise to Hogan. A separate source told Us Weekly that the veteran wrestler was caught off guard by his daughter’s decision and has privately expressed confusion over the estrangement. “Terry doesn’t understand the full reason behind Brooke cutting ties,” the source stated.
Silent Amidst Public Turmoil
Despite the whirlwind of media attention regarding both his health and family issues, Hogan himself has remained publicly silent. He has not made any official statements addressing either his surgery or his relationship with Brooke.
As fans continue to send their support to the wrestling icon, Hogan’s recovery offers a note of reassurance amid recent speculation. It’s a reminder not to take viral rumors at face value — especially when it concerns the health of beloved public figures.
