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’s Reel Life Now Mirrors Her Real Life

Even though ABC could have very easily tried to cover Hayden’s growing baby bump on the third season of Nashville, they decided to write it into her character’s dramatic storyline.

Now, her character, Juliette Barnes, is expecting a child on the show with her ex-boyfriend Avery, played by Jonathan Jackson. The story has been heartbreaking to watch, but hopefully the real-life birth of Hayden’s daughter will be much more of a happy occasion!

However, this question now begs to be asked: will Hayden’s real-life daughter appear on Nashville? Only time will tell what the new mom and her daughter decide to do!

Tell us, HollywoodLifers, what do YOU think Hayden’s going to be like as a young mom? Is this the first of a whole brood of kids for the beautiful couple? Let us know what you’re thinking!
