Hayden Panettiere and "Days" star Darin Brooks make an impossibly cute couple.

Despite having broken up with co-star Milo Ventimiglia, it looks like "Heroes" cheerleader Hayden Panettiere is keeping things in the greater NBC family. On Monday, Hayden was photographed de-planing at LAX airport with "Days of our Lives" star Darin Brooks.

Darin, who plays bartender/racecar driver/all-around hottie Max Brady on "Days," joined Hayden in Hawaii for the grand re-opening of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Hayden, 19, broke up with 31-year-old Milo Ventimiglia back in February. Darin's only 24, so it looks like Hayden's getting closer and closer to dating someone her own age.

Also, how's this for irony; Hayden and Milo's relationship was slightly odd considering he played her uncle on "Heroes." Meanwhile, Darin's character Max is currently dating his (adoptive) niece Chelsea on "Days." We could live without this becoming a trend; just observing.

Do you think Hayden traded up, going from Milo to Darin?
