Hayden Panettiere has been granted a restraining order against her ex boyfriend of nearly two-years, Brian Hickerson.
According to court records obtained by The Blast on Tuesday, the 30-year-old actress ‘has filed to register an out-of-state restraining order’ that she recently obtained against Hickerson.
Due to the out-of-state nature of the restraining order, Panettiere is asking the court to honor and actively enforce the order in Los Angeles, which is her current place of residence.

The explicit reason for Hayden’s protective order against Brian is unknown at this time.
The Heroes alum reportedly ended her relationship with Brian in June, after several incidences of alleged domestic violence.
A source close to Panettiere revealed to Us Weekly at the time of the split that Hayden was ‘in a good place’ and ‘on the path to recovery.’
The source also alleged that Hayden and Brian had not had any contact and that he had ‘moved back to his hometown in South Carolina.’

‘Friends are praying this is the end of her journey with him,’ added the insider.
On Valentine’s Day of this year, Brian was arrested for allegedly punching Hayden in the face during an argument, while the pair were in Wyoming.
Brian’s second domestic violence related arrest took place in 2019 for reportedly ‘getting into a physical fight with Hayden.’
He was charged with felony domestic violence, but, due to Hayden reportedly ‘refusing to cooperate with the prosecution,’ the charges were, eventually, dropped.
