Who Is Brian Hickerson? Facts About Hayden Panettiere’s Boyfriend

Hayden Panettiere is already hearing wedding bells even though she and boyfriend Brian Hickerson have only been dating for six months.

In a recent interview with Us Weekly, the “Nashville” star revealed that she’s hopeful that one day she and Hickerson would walk down the aisle. As for why she thinks he’s the one for her, Panettiere said Hickerson has been teaching her life lessons every single day they spend together.

“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,” she said.

“I love being low key, being mellow, having experiences, having conversations, really in-depth conversations,” the actress added.

Then, when she was asked if she sees herself marrying her present beau, Panettiere responded, “I think so. I hope so.”

While it’s obvious that the “Heroes” alum is smitten with her boyfriend, some of her fans might still be not sold at the prospect of Panettiere tying the knot with him. So to clear the air, here are some facts about Brian Hickerson.

Hickerson is apparently an aspiring actor, who only has one credit to his name so far. In 2017, he starred in the movie “M.F.A.” in which he portrayed a character called Officer Williams, according to the Sun.

He is active on Instagram and Twitter though he barely updates his social media nowadays. Some of his famous followers are actor Ross McCall and actress Mia McKenna-Bruce.

Hickerson is a South Carolina native but he is currently residing in Los Angeles for obvious reasons: for work and for love. People has revealed that he and the actress live together in the City of Angels.

Panettiere and Hickerson first made headlines in July 2018 when the two were photographed walking hand in hand at the Arclight Theatre. A month later, they were spotted grabbing dinner together at celebrity hotspot Craig’s. A source then revealed in September that the lovebirds “we’re getting serious.”

In October, Panettiere took their relationship to the next level when she brought her lover to Florida and introduced him to her family. During their intimate vacation, they were seen casually strolling the streets of the Sunshine State.

Panettiere was previously engaged to Ukrainian heavyweight champion boxer Wladimir Klitschko. Their breakup was made public in August 2018. The two were in a relationship for nine years and they share a 4-year-old daughter named Kaya.
