Hayden Panettiere and Brian Hickerson together after breakup
turn back on?
Hayden Panettiere and her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson were spotted together at LAX just three months after announcing their recent breakup.
In the photos obtained by Page Six, the couple tried to stay under the radar wearing dark clothes and baseball caps as they moved around the airport.
The “Remember the Titans” actress and Hickerson – who have been dating on and off since the summer of 2018 – also enjoyed snacking before going on vacation. However, it is not known where they went.
The couple’s reunion may come as a surprise after Panettiere, 33, opened up about her abusive relationship with Hickerson following a wild brawl at a hotel in May.
“It was a very dark and complicated time in my life,” the actress said he told the People about dating amidst her addiction to alcohol and opioids. “But a lot of women go through what I went through, and I want people to know that it’s okay to ask for help.”
However, the couple apparently tried to maintain their friendship after their split, with Panettiere saying that “reparation is a really important thing you learn in treatment.”
Hickerson also confirmed that he and the actress were “absolutely not” together in July after their very tumultuous four-year relationship apparently came to a head.
Hickerson, who was on probation at the time, told the paparazzi that there was no way they would ever reconcile and said he was “looking forward to the new chapters.”
He was arrested in May 2019 for domestic violence after he and the actress got into a drunken, physical altercation at their Los Angeles home.
Although Hickerson pleaded not guilty, he was ordered to stay 100 yards from Panettiere – only to be arrested again in 2020 for domestic violence.
Hickerson was sentenced to 45 days in prison for two offenses of injuring a partner.
Following her second arrest, the Nashville star released a statement saying she would do everything in her power to ensure “this man never hurts anyone again.”
“I am coming out with the truth of what happened to me in the hope that my story will empower others in toxic relationships to get the help they need and deserve,” she wrote.
