Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko have supposedly called it quits after nearly a decade together. According to Entertainment Weekly, who confirmed the breakup news Friday (August 3), the actress was reportedly spotted all smiles and holding hands with a mystery man as the pair departed West Hollywood eatery Craig's, sparking suspicions that she's already moved on from the professional boxer.
The 28-year-old's mother, Lesley Vogel, also seemed to verify the news, telling Radar Online: "Think there are a lot of changes going on in her life. But I think they're positive changes. And I think that she's taking some time ... She's been working for many years on ['Nashville']. She needs to take a little bit of a break and make some decisions on her own of what she wants to do. So I think she is in a very good place."
As sources tell, Panettiere and her ex-fiancé are still, in fact, on good terms and their primary focus at this time is to co-parent their 3-year-old daughter. "Kaya is primarily with her dad and his family in Europe and Florida. They also spend time together as a family with Hayden," an insider told E! "Hayden and Wladimir are on great terms and friendly. They are a big part of each other's lives and will continue to be."
At 19-years-old, the Nashville star began dating the then 33-year-old Ukranian athlete after the duo met at a mutual friend's book launch party in 2009. They suffered a breakup in May 2011 due to the circumstances of their long-distance romance until Panettiere revealed they'd reconciled again in April 2013. That following October, the twosome announced their engagement and welcomed their first child, daughter Kaya Evdokia, in December 2014.
