After Hulk Hogan’s death on July 24, Nick Hogan described his wife, Tana Lea, as his “absolute rock.”
“She’s really helped me remember all those times where my dad and I would talk, reminds me of the reasons why we had such a close bond and helped to keep me focused in these moments where I’ll possibly fall apart. When I’m sad or devastated even, she’s really been there for me to lean on, and helped keep me focused on honoring him and moving forward the way that he would have wanted me to,” he shared.
Nick said his father’s advice had been a constant in his life.

Hulk Hogan arrived at scene when son Nick Hogan was arrested for DUI
According to a Daily Mail report dated January 19, 2024, Nick Hogan was arrested for DUI in Clearwater, Florida. Police footage from the arrest showed Hogan declining to take a breathalyzer test and undergoing a field sobriety test, which officers later said he failed. The video began with an officer telling him, “You almost ran me over,” before instructing him to get out of the vehicle.
“It was me that you almost ran over when you were driving right by me,” the officer added.
In the clip, Hogan denied drinking alcohol, claiming the smell on his breath came from kissing his girlfriend. “I can smell it on your breath,” the officer told him, to which Hogan replied,
“Sorry I was just kissing my girlfriend — I apologize.”
Authorities said the incident occurred at about 1 a.m., when Hogan allegedly sped past three police vehicles stopped at an intersection, driving 51 mph in a 40 mph zone. Officers reported that he smelled strongly of alcohol and had “bloodshot” and “glassy” eyes, showing signs of “impairment.”
While he struggled during the sobriety test, Hogan remained calm, repeatedly addressing officers as “Sir.” Tana Lea, his girlfriend at the time, confronted the police at the scene in an emotional exchange.
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan later arrived as his son was being handcuffed. Speaking with the officer in charge, he asked whether Nick was impaired.
“He’s currently in custody for DUI,” the officer responded.
“DUI. Did he blow?” Hulk asked.
“We’re at that point right now where he’s asking if he has to blow or not,” the officer replied.
“Cool, let me phone my lawyer real quick and see where we’re at — crazy, sorry about this,” Hulk shared.
