7 may 2026 в 00:28
Hayden Panettiere’s relationships have often attracted public attention throughout her Hollywood career. She dated her «Heroes» co-star Milo Ventimiglia and had a long and tumultuous relationship with boxer Wladimir Klitschko, which made her personal life a topic of discussion.
Recently, Hayden shared details about her personal life while promoting her upcoming autobiography «It's Me: A Confession», - which will be released on May 19, 2026. In an interview with Us Weekly, the actress openly declared her bisexuality for the first time and revealed that she had been dating women for many years but was afraid to speak about it due to the public pressure and criticism she faced as a child star.
Let’s recall the full story of Hayden Panettiere’s dating history.
Hayden dated Milo Ventimiglia from 2007 to 2009 after they met on the set of the NBC series. Their relationship attracted significant media attention due to their 12-year age difference—Hayden was 18 when they started dating, while Milo was 30.
The couple mostly kept their relationship private before breaking up in 2009. Later, Hayden reflected on their relationship in interviews related to her autobiography, calling the age difference a «stumbling block» between them.
After her breakup with Milo, Hayden began dating Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko in 2009, having met through mutual friends. Their relationship lasted nearly ten years with periods of separation. The couple briefly split in 2011 due to distance but reconciled in 2013 and got engaged.
In 2014, they welcomed their daughter, Kaya. Ultimately, Hayden and Wladimir ended their engagement and separated in 2018; however, they continue to maintain a connection through co-parenting their daughter and have spoken positively about each other over the years.
After her temporary split from Klitschko in 2011, Hayden briefly dated former NFL player Scotty McKnight. Scotty was playing for the New York Jets at the time, and it was reported that they were introduced by mutual friends.
Their relationship lasted about a year before they amicably parted ways at the end of 2012. Sources claimed that the reasons for the breakup were distance and lifestyle differences.
Hayden began dating real estate agent Brian Hickerson in 2018 shortly after her split from Wladimir. Their relationship quickly became a topic of discussion due to several incidents involving domestic violence in which Brian was involved. He was arrested multiple times on assault charges during their relationship.
In subsequent interviews and excerpts from her autobiography, Hayden described this relationship as emotionally and physically abusive, noting that it was difficult for her to leave the situation. Ultimately, the couple broke up around 2020.
