"So many people commented and left so many sweet messages on my last post," the Hogan Knows Best star, who is the daughter of wrestler Hulk Hogan, wrote to Instagram.

"It shows there's still SO MUCH GOOD in the world! Which is why we had these babies!!"

The star shared several photos of her and her husband, who is a former NHL hockey player, in hospital after welcoming their newborn twins.

"I had always wanted to be a mum, but that feeling started slipping the more I experienced heartache, exhaustion from building my business, and started seeing people and things so clear... age helps with that I guess," Hogan spoke candidly.
