The Heroes star definitely came prepared with two different masks as she wore a black cloth one featuring a mask holder which she threw off and switched to a white surgical mask before going through TSA.

Perhaps the most interesting thing Hayden had on the trip was her Louis Vuitton Eole 50 monogram rolling duffel bag – which retails for $2370 – which featured custom art on it of images of Kobe Bryant and Marilyn Monroe with ‘rest in peace’ in graffiti.

She has not only kept out of the public eye but has also been relatively private on social media, however, just days ago she made a rare post. 

The Nashville star seemed like she didn’t have a care in the world as she took to Instagram on Saturday to post a snap of herself getting some air during a boat ride on a sun-flecked day.

‘Grateful,’ she captioned the image of herself gazing peacefully. 

Zen: She definitely looked prepared for a day of travelling 

Making moves: No doubt all eyes were on her in the terminal

Panettiere was dressed casually for a day on the water in a mauve T-shirt and and gray overalls.

She sported an eye-catching crimson lip and had her blonde tresses tied back to highlight her thing gold hoop earrings.

The boat she rode on had an American flag whipping about in the breeze, though it wasn’t clear if the actress was making a political statement in the early days of the new Biden administration.

Panettiere has been keeping a low profile in recent months, and her most recent return to Instagram was to wish her daughter Kaya a happy sixth birthday on December 9.

Hayden shares her young daughter with her ex-husband, boxer Wladimir Klitschko.

She and the Ukrainian athlete first started dating in 2009, and following a short breakup they got engaged in 2013, before welcoming Kaya the following year. 

Panettiere had a difficult recovery from her pregnancy and developed postpartum depression that led to her checking herself into an in-patient treatment facility.

Penettiere and Klitschko separated shortly after her musical series Nashville ended at the conclusion of its sixth season.

Panettiere and Klitschko split in 2018 shortly after the end of her TV show Nashville.  

Time apart: Panettiere has reportedly been living apart from her daughter, who stayed with Klistchko after their split, though her lawyer said they see each other regularly; seen with Klitschko in 2013

In 2019, a source told People that Panettiere had been living apart from her daughter, who stayed with Klitschko after the separation.

‘Hayden has gone through changes since she had Kaya, and while some were not perfect, others have helped her grow,’ they said. ‘She is trying to feel good about herself, her life, and how she wants to go forward.’

However, a lawyer for the Heroes star said she still sees her daughter regularly.

Moving on: Hayden looked as if she was doing well following her split with her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson; seen in 2017 in NYC

Hayden looked as if she was doing well following her split from her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson.

The 31-year-old aspiring actor was arrested in Wyoming in February after he allegedly hit Panettiere in the face.

He faced more legal trouble in July when he was arrested in Los Angeles on eight charges alleging abusive incidents from May 2019 to January 2020.

An insider told People magazine at the time: ‘Hayden was finally ready to change her life for the better. She is now surrounded by people who care about her and not someone who tries to control her and prey on her weaknesses.’ 

New charge! Hickerson was charged with influencing or intimidating a witness in Teton County, Wyoming, in August following reports that he threatened to leak embarrassing videos of Panettiere if she didn’t drop the charges

She said: ‘I am coming forward with the truth about what happened to me with the hope that my story will empower others in abusive relationships to get the help they need and deserve. I am prepared to do my part to make sure this man never hurts anyone again. I’m grateful for my support system, which helped me find the courage to regain my voice and my life.’ 

In August, a source told Us Weekly that Hickerson had ‘threatened to release videos of’ the actress to humiliate her if she didn’t drop the charges against him.

The report preceded new charges of witness intimidation for Hickerson.
