Hayden Panettiere Dating 33-Year-Old Boxing Champ?

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 22nd 2010 10:39AM

Hayden Panettiere has been getting cozy with Ukranian boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko, 33, leading many to speculate they are dating. The 'Heroes' actress, 20, spent the past few weeks in Miami after he invited her to join him in Florida for the New Year. And don't let the 13 year age difference fool you -- Panettiere has been known to date much older guys. They were spotted together on Thursday when he dropped her off at the airport. So who is this guy and how did he manage to steal her heart?

According to NY Daily News, Klitschko moved to Germany with his brother to fight professionally when they were both in their late teens. He also reportedly speaks four languages and holds a PhD in sports science from Kiev University. The champ moved to Beverly Hills in 2004, but travels back to Germany frequently.

Although their reported romance appears to be in its early stages, the couple were spotted together at a LA charity fundraiser in February last year.

Their reported romance started to heat up when Panettiere jetted to Miami to spend New Year's with Klitschko at Lady GaGa's party in the Fontainebleau nightclub. The vacation got extended and UK's Daily Mail claims she reportedly postponed her flight back home to Los Angeles twice this month because she didn't want to be away from Klitschko.

Klitschko is just the latest in a string of celebrity men to be linked to Panettiere. Last February, she called off her two year romance with 'Heroes' co-star Milo Ventimigilia, 32, citing their 12 year age gap as a problem. But she has also been linked to Lindsay Lohan's restaurateur ex Harry Morton, 28, 'Entourage' actor Kevin Connolly, 35, and 'Laguna Beach' reality TV star Stephen Colletti, 23.

Daddy issues anyone?

cammylynn: Thirteen years is not a major age differential. Last year I met a 29 year old before the opening day of the baseball season. I was 67 at the time. We still see each other often even though we live 85 miles apart and the relationship is not platonic. I am not a sugar daddy and she is not a cow - she's cute, well-educated and sexy and she thinks I am too. Older women don't turn me on. I don't spend much money on my lover and women of all ages often pick up the travel or dining tab.

cammylynn; Keep your opinions private. You know nothing about love or life. There is too much age discrimmination in this country, both in employment and social issues. No one would care in Europe and the article would not be on the internet. I like to live young; that's my option.

she's obviously having fun.
this guy is a total stud besides. ranked

has a PhD degree. speaks 4 languages.
travels the world. total hunk.
sex has to be insane.
to any guy who thinks they have Wladimir
smacked down, you forgot your brain today.
side to Hayden -> text me on your phone
when he isn't around. i have to congratulate you.

By Chaz Goodman

Anyone see a pattern here?? What a skank! And she keeps finding suckers.

By ttbrunke

Stop the double standards. No one cares about men dating younger women. No one says about an older MAN dating a younger WOMAN that he has "daughter issues." Unless you're going to admit they're BOTH MAKING THE CHOICE and not JUST Hayden, then your perspective is highly flawed!

By george9448

Who cares?Why is this nonsense even newsworthy?I like her on HEROES,but this BS is a waste of space.

By DiamondDiva

Wow, sum of u ppl make no sense.. She has a good head on her shlders and unlike the rest if she ever goes to jail it wont be dui it wld be trying to save the whales..again. Briney chose Kfed, Hayden show world class fighetr well edu/and speaks 4 languages..yep nxt Britney alrite. I agree w/ ttbrunke, besides girl is 20 she's grown, I dnt think she purposely goes for age diff, Milo was costar and hot is hot, talk abt the girls dating old shriveled up Hefner type guys!

By bajasmoke

Yeah, the day of the black dudes ruling the heavyweight division are over.....lol Where's the next great Black Hope at????

By RBS Prods

Hey, she's only 20. Back off. You couldn't date her and neither could I. She's rich, famous, exploring what she likes and doesn't like. At least she's done none of the following:
* Flashed her private parts;
* Got pregnant;
* Married a waiter or one of the dancers;
* Been caught driving drunk & lost her license,
* Got into a public fight with her parents;
* Have her decision-making rights taken away and given to her daddy.
* Spent time in Jail.
* Dated Ben Affleck, Tom Cruise, or P-Diddy. Until then, LEAVE HER ALONE.

Well said RBS Prods! She's young and enjoying life. She's not been in any kind of trouble. Leave her alone.

By Sunday

What's wrong with a 13 yr. age difference? My hubby is 22 yrs older than me. We have a wonderful 15 yr marriage. Daddy issues? Puleeze! LOL How about the fact that older men are more mature and experienced in life and perhaps they have a lot more to offer? Go Hayden! You're on the right track girl!
