Shocking reports are circulating about Hayden Panettiere having a secret romance with Zack Hickerson.
Zack is the older brother of her turbulent on-off lover, Brian Hickerson, leaving fans confused. Shockingly, both men were present in the home at the time of her death.
Sources claim the relationship arose in 2019 while Brian was jailed for assaulting her. Both brothers were later present at the South Carolina apartment where the star passed away.
Panettiere was spotted looking comfortable and acting like a couple with pastor Zack Hickerson in New York's SoHo neighborhood in September of 2019. The hookup arose during a period when Brian was incarcerated following domestic violence charges involving the star.
The connection between the brothers and Panettiere came back under heavy media scrutiny after a police report placed both brothers at the scene of her sudden death.
