One thing about Hayden Panettiere’s life is clear that her family and friends were not happy with her relationship with Brian Hickerson. The two dated on-and-off, and had reunited just two weeks before the actress’ death. In fact, Brian was present in the house when Hayden died on August 16, 2026. The 36-year-old actress’ mother blasted the 37-year-old and expressed how he ‘was the bad news’ in her life.
Hayden Panettiere reunited with her boyfriend just days before her death
In the name of love, we often ignore the red flags and keep returning to people we know are not right for us. Maybe, Hayden was also stuck in the loop of love, or Brian knew how to make his way back to her. A source close to the couple told Page Six that Brian was with Hayden at the time of her death.
The insider also revealed that Brian was supposed to leave but the two ended up on a flight to South Carolina where he lives. However, it is worth mentioning that the source revealed the two were not romantically involved with each other, and highlighted Hayden’s remark for Brian on Jay Shetty’s podcast just three months ago.
