“Hayden won’t forget what he did but she wants to forgive and move on,” the source says. “Hayden is sober and doing very well.”

Hickerson, 32, was sentenced in April to 45 days in jail after pleading no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse/cohabitant/girlfriend/child’s parent, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office confirmed to PEOPLE at the time. He served his sentence from May 7 through May 20, jail records show.
