Hayden Panetierre In String Bikini With Iced Tea Is 'Wifey Material'

Hayden Panetierre may be making headlines for defending her slurred speech as she continues to mourn the 2023 loss of her brother, but some fans are still eyeing up her old snaps. In September, a fan account on Instagram reposted a throwback shot of the Heroes star, one showing her stunning in a halterneck bikini as she carried around an iced tea. Showing off her fierce tan as she sizzled in her teeny swimsuit, Hayden showed off her killer curves and cute belly piercing in what was likely a vacation shot, and it was enough for one fan to dub her "wifey material."

Scroll for the photo, one likely taken by the paparazzi. Strolling around in a patterned bikini top with a triangle design, Hayden flashed her fit figure while rocking yellow, aqua, and white shades. Popping with her golden tan, the 35-year-old drew the eye from her cleavage to her toned waistline, checking boxes for the belly piercing trend while covering up with a sarong skirt down below.

Adding ivory shades from her skirt as she sent out island girl vibes, Hayden carried a plastic cup of iced tea in one hand, keeping cool during what was likely a hot day. The Nashville star also clutched a red wallet and her phone in the other hand, completing her look with shades worn atop her head.

Sporting her light locks scraped back, Hayden was likely makeup-free, with the photo showing her a little open-mouthed. No original date was provided. Fans rushed to send fire and heart emoji, but the ultimate compliment came from that "wifey material" reply.

The above photo turned heads in November 2017 as a fan account shared a throwback shoot showing Hayden Panetierre poolside. Going leggy in a chic white minidress with a sundress feel, the actress kicked one leg up a little as she both laughed and smiled, also flashing her cleavage.

Talk of Hayden right now is more serious, though. Earlier this month, fans wondered if the star was slurring her speech as she gave an interview and discussed losing brother Jansen Panettiere last year. Jansen passed away aged 28 and from cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart).

"It's unfathomable that I'm even in this position," Hayden Panetierre told her Instagram fans this week, adding: "But I feel forced to address it in a space where I won't be criticized for how fast or slow I speak." Hayden added that she'd barely slept as one of her dogs had undergone emergency surgery, also admitting that the interview was paused because she was "fading."

"Grief looks different on everyone. Whether or not I am on medication is none of anyone's business and is between me and my doctor," the actress concluded.
