With a new television show in the making, it’s not surprising to spot 22-year-old Hayden Panettiere with her 24-year-old boyfriend, Scotty McKnight, working out in the gym. The couple, who has been dating for quite some time, was seen walking in the Brentwood area, beaming and relaxed. Both stars were wearing classy workout outfits, especially Hayden, who was in a tight, red T-shirt and black, knee-length, spandex bottoms. The former Heroes star started dating the American football player after breaking up with heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko in 2011.

She is set to return to TV this fall in the new ABC series Nashville. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new TV series will use original country songs to narrate the story of a complex family in Nashville.

Also, they spilled that although Hayden will be the “bad girl” in the series, her character will have a major redeeming quality that will allow the audience to see through her imperfect behavior and make her character seem somewhat sympathetic.

 Better count down the days ‘til fall, Hayden fans!
