![Hayden Panettiere arrives at her younger brother Jansen's celebration of life event in their hometown of Palisades, New York, with her on/off boyfriend Brian Hickerson. The grieving actress wore a colorful bomber jacket and black pants as she attended the memorial at the scenic Palisades Presbyterian Church alongside her mother Lesley Vogel and father Alan ‘Skip’ Panettiere, on Wednesday morning. Jansen’s girlfriend Cat Michie, who has posted a heartfelt tribute to him on social media, was also seen at the venue. ‘Scream, 6’ star Hayden, 33, was expected to speak at the event, which was being held in remembrance of the 28-year-old former child actor, who died last month due to an enlarged heart. A friend of the former actor told officials he'd checked on Jansen at home after he'd failed to show up for a business meeting. Upon arrival, he was found sitting upright in a chair unresponsive. Jansen's dad, Skip, had spoken to his son on the phone just the night before, and thought he "sounded okay." On Wednesday, friends and family came together at the small church which is just a few miles away from Jansen's apartment in Nyack where he was found dead. 08 Mar 2023 Pictured: Brian Hickerson, Hayden Panettiere.

Hayden Panettiere is in love, and she wants the world to know it. The Nashville star, 29, revealed in a new interview that she firmly believes that her boyfriend of six months, Brian Hickerson, could one day be her husband. “I’ve lived a big life, I’ve met a lot of people. I learn something new from [Brian] every day, and that’s something that not many people can provide me with,” Hayden told US Weekly. When asked if she thinks they’ll get married, she responded, “I think so. I hope so.”
Aww! She went on to describe all the things she loves to do with her boyfriend, and it all sounds so sweet. “I love being low key, being mellow, having experiences, having conversations, really in-depth conversations,” she told the magazine. It makes sense, then, that the couple are rarely seen out on dates in public. They’re homebodies! They were photographed on date night on January 31, the first time in months. Hayden and Brian were spotted taking in a screening of the documentary Sharkwater Extinction at the Arclight Theatre in Los Angeles. They were holding hands as they walked out of the movie theater, and Hayden looked super cute in bellbottoms, a leather jacket, and a sheer shirt.
It’s not too surprising that Hayden would be thinking about marriage already. Just one month into their relationship, she said that they were “getting serious.” Hey — when you know, you know! Hayden and her ex-fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, split up in early 2018 after nine years together. They share a four-year-old daughter, Kaya, who currently likes with her father and grandmother in Ukraine.
