Hickerson and Hayden were linked on and off for years.

For some backstory, in 2021, Brian plead no contest to two felony counts injuring a spouse/cohabitant/girlfriend/child’s parent. He was sentenced to 45 days in county jail after multiple domestic violence allegations involving the late Nashville actress.

Brian was also arrested and charged with eight counts of felony domestic violence and assault back in July 2020. He also allegedly punched her in the face in February 2020, which led to another arrest. In 2019, Brian was charged with felony domestic violence after an altercation with Hayden. That case ended up being dismissed.
