Hayden’s Ex Still Wants to Put a Ring on It

Brian Hickerson is not letting go. The actress’s ex just admitted to TMZ that he’s still holding onto hope for a future with Hayden Panettiere—and he’s not talking about just dating. He straight-up said he’d marry her, despite their seriously messy history together.

The confession came during an interview with TMZ’s Charlie Neff, right before Hayden’s memoir “This Is Me” drops. Talk about awkward timing. Hickerson didn’t hold back about his feelings, making it clear he’s still dreaming about a second act with the Nashville star.

The two have had a rocky road, to put it mildly. But apparently Hickerson is convinced that marriage could still be in the cards. Whether Hayden—who’s been focused on her own journey and healing—feels the same way is a completely different story.
