Her big hair change comes amid some turmoil in Panettiere’s personal life. More than a month after her ex-boyfriendBrian Hickerson‘s felonydomestic violence chargewas dismissed, the actress was photographed with him last month, walking through an airport. PEOPLE confirmed at the time that the couple was back together.
A source told PEOPLE that some of Panettiere’s family members still “don’t approve of the relationship,” adding, “They are not fans of Brian. It’s clear that he has issues of his own,not to mention the anger issues, which is obviously a big one.”
In response, Hayden’s attorney Andrew Brettler told PEOPLE, “Hayden is a strong, intelligent woman who is capable of making her own decisions.”
