Report: Hayden Panettiere is engaged to Wladimir Klitschko

Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko got back together in January after taking a break from their two-year relationship which ended in 2011. Following their split, both parties claimed that the distance was the reason for their split and that they would remain friends — and they did. Now, they are back on and moving full force. In fact, they are reportedly planning a wedding.

“Very few people know, and she isn’t wearing her ring publicly yet,” a friend of the couple reveals to Us Weekly, adding that Hayden and Wladimir are planning to wed this summer.

Hayden and Wladimir are keeping their relationship secret for now, even saying that they are “just good buddies,” but their regular PDA-fests prove otherwise. Over the weekend, the two were seen getting cozy at a Lakers game and that’s just the most recent of their many public outings together.

After her and Wladimir’s split in May of 2011, Hayden had began dating NFL player Scotty McKnight. The two were together up until December of last year, a month prior to her reconciliation with Wladimir.

Hayden has also been linked to Milo Ventimiglia and Stephen Colletti, but in a 2011 interview, she admitted that she prefers dating athletes. “They’re in similar circles, where they understand the schedule, the work ethic, the social aspect,” she explained, “but they’re not exactly in your industry, so it works out well.”

While it hasn’t been revealed what exactly brought these two back together, we’d guess that Wladimir saw Hayden’s hot bikini photos in Esquire Magazine and realized what he’s been missing.
