Hayden Panettiere Confirms Romance With Wladimir Klitschko In ‘Glamour’ Interview, Says Kids With Boxer “Wouldn’t Shock Me”

Hayden Panettiere talked about her acting career and relationship with Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko in an interview with Glamour magazine.

Hayden Panettiere got her start at acting when she was just 11 months old in a Playskool commercial, and later rocketed to stardom as a character on Heroes.

In her interview with Glamour, the blonde actress admitted that she has been surprised by the intense attention surrounding her relationship with heavyweight boxing champ Klitschko.

"It blows my mind sometimes that us getting together has gotten so much attention. It's like, Really? This is breaking news?" Panettiere told the magazine.

Although Panettiere and Klitschko have a 14-year age difference, the couple has been romantically involved (on-again, off-again) for five years after meeting at an acquaintance's coffee-table book launch.

When Glamour asked Panettiere how she met the boxer, she said, "Life is like a lunchroom at school. In this industry you've got little individual tables of actors, singers, rap stars, this, that, the other. But it's a big industry that also encompasses everyone in the public eye."

Rumors have speculated that Panettiere and Klitschko are already engaged, although Hayden Panettiere has yet to be spotted with a ring. In the interview, Panettiere neither confirmed nor denied the engagement, instead addressing motherhood.

She said, "Sometimes people speak about [having kids] like, 'Your life ends - you're never going to be able to do anything again!' and I'm like, 'What are you talking about?' Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing, and there's nothing that I feel like I can't accomplish while having children in my life. I would sacrifice having more years of being wherever I want whenever I want for years with my kids."

Surprisingly mature for her 23 years, Panettiere said that she feels she has already lived a long, fulfilling life. While she has no immediate plans for motherhood, marriage and kids seems like the next step.

When asked if Wladimir Klitschko could potentially father her future children, Hayden said, "It wouldn't shock me."

The couple does seem to be going strong; Hayden Panettiere and her boyfriend were spotted on a Florida beach enjoying time together on Tuesday, April 2.

The complete interview with Hayden Panettiere in Glamour will be released on April 9.
