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.
