Hayden Panettiere, Wladimir Klitschko Dating Again [PHOTOS & VIDEO]: 'Nashville' Star and Boxer Beau Hot Kiss at Miami Heat Game
It looks like Hayden Panatierre is back together with Ukranian boxing boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko. Thanks to some public displays of affection at the Miami Heat game Sunday night, it is safe to say that they are very much back together. Not only does the 6' 6" heavyweight champion toward over the petite Panatierre, he is also 14 years older than her (he is 37 years old and she is 24 years old). Though it might seem strange to most, these were never concerns for the couple. When the two originally parted ways, they cited distance as the reason but it looks like they have worked through it.

Panatierre and Klitschko first started dating in 2009. During his bouts, Hayden would be seen ringside cheering on the talented fighter. In May of 2011, they decided to part ways.
In a statement following their break up, the "Nashville" actress said, "Even though we've decided splitting up is best for both of us, we have an amazing amount of love and respect for each other and remain very close friends."
Clearly they have remained close enough to rekindle after some time apart.
Wladimir Klitschko is the WBO (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring Heavyweight champion. He is the fifth longest reining heavyweight champion of all time. Wladimir also won the Super-Heavyweight gold medal at the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. At the beginning of fights, he is announced as "Dr. Steel Hammer."
His older brother Vitali goes by "Dr. Ironfist" and is the current WBC Heavyweight Champion. The two moved to Beverly Hills, California, in 2004 together.
