Hayden Panettiere Engaged To Wladimir Klitschko: 'Bring It On' Actress Excitedly Announced The News

Hayden Panettiere is officially off the market as she confirms her engagement to Ukranian boxer Wladimir Klitschko. In an interview with 'Live with Kelly and Michael', the actress appeared carrying a boa constrictor around as part of a prank with host Michael Starahan. However, host Kelly Ripa's focus shifted from the snake to the 'Nashville's' star flashy piece of jewelry.

"I'm sort of distracted, not just by the snake, but there's a very large diamond ring on your ring finger. I'm not sure if you want to announce anything. ... Does that signify anything, is that a promise of something?" inquired Ripa.

Panettiere merely said, "I think it speaks for itself." When asked if she was engaged, she said "I am!" with a huge grin. 

Panettiere and Klitschko first met in 2009 at a book launch of one of their mutual friends. They dated for two years but parted ways in 2011. Nonetheless, the two rekindled their romance and got back together last spring. 
 
In the May 2013 issue of Glamour, the 'I Love You Beth Cooper' star hints that her relationships are not deserving to be deemed as breaking news: "I've always had great relationships and stayed really good friends with the guys I've dated. It blows my mind sometimes that us getting together has gotten so much attention. It's like, really? This is breaking news?"

Nonetheless, the actress is apparently happy after breaking the news for the first time. No wedding date has been confirmed yet since the two are reportedly trying to take things slowly but blissfully.
