“To clarify, I was enjoying a Miller ‘Latte’ [slang for Miller Lite], and Hayden was not drinking,” Brian told E! News. “We went to a new restaurant that is Texas-based, and being a Southern guy, I’m a big fan of country music. So yes, there was some line dancing involved. Hayden and I are not back together but are working on a friendship.”

He added, “We have a long history together, and the first step in my recovery as an abuser is making amends. That’s exactly what Hayden has been gracious enough to allow me to do.”

Meanwhile, an insider spoke out about why Hayden reunited with him in the first place.

“Hayden is open to forgiving Brian and starting a new chapter, despite her loved ones concerns. Hayden has a huge heart and wants to see the best in everyone.”

If you don’t know, he was arrested and charged with eight counts of felony domestic violence and assault against Hayden back in July 2020.

Brian was previously arrested for allegedly punching Hayden in the face in February 2020. In 2019, Brian was charged with felony domestic violence after an altercation with Hayden. That case ended up being dismissed.
