When my 2 DDs turn a certain age they no longer want to hug their father. They don't have the same hugging loving relationship and it hurts DH. They also barely talk to him anymore and come to me for everything. Any ideas to improve things?

Try yo improve it other ways. When I was that age we used to have daddy daughter dates that we would go out individually and do something with him.

No need to encourage them to hug, but develop the relationship in other ways. If they have an instinctive sense of when to reduce physical contact with males, even their father, that's great.
Where else can they connect? I always used to take the dog for a walk on Friday nights with my father. Officially I wasn't allowed on the fields by myself at night, but he always came with me himself, instead if delegating, and we had some good conversations together. Is there any hobby they can connect over? Even doing puzzles together.
One evening a week my mother used to work late, and we made supper and had it together with my father. It was a more focused time together. The rule was that we cooked, and he would clear up afterwards, but it was often a joint effort, and another connection time.
