Hayden Panettiere, Wladimir Klitschko Engaged? [VIDEO] 'Nashville' Star Opens Up About Boxer Beau, Born To Be Mother

In the upcoming issue of Glamour magazine, Hayden Panettiere finally confirms her rekindled relationship with championship boxer Wladimir Klitschko. Though she used to say that they were just "good buddies," the 23-year-old "Nashville" star now smiles and says, "I think it's pretty obvious. I'm not going to deny it." Not only does she confirm her romance with the 37-year-old Ukrainian heavyweight, Panettiere also reveals that she was born to be a mother and that she is ready for parenthood.

Speaking candidly about her past relationships, Hayden tells the magazine:

"I've always had great relationships and stayed really good friends with the guys I've dated. It blows my mind sometimes that us getting together has gotten so much attention. It's like, Really? This is breaking news?"

She even shares her next big step in life, saying:

"I've lived a very big life, and I don't feel my age, and I feel like I was born to be a mother. Sometimes people speak about [having kids] like, 'Your life ends -- you're never going to be able to do anything again!' And I'm like: 'What are you talking about?' Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing, and there's nothing that I feel like I can't accomplish while having children in my life. I would sacrifice having more years of being wherever I want whenever I want for years with my kids."

Mstarz recently reported on Panettiere and Klitschko's rumored engagement. Here is an excerpt:

After rekindling their relationship with a public kiss earlier this week at a Miami Heat game, reports are saying that Hayden Panatierre and heavyweight boxing boyfriend, Wladimir Klitschko, are preparing to tie the knot. After dating for 2 years, the couple broke up in 2011 citing distance as the reason to split but it looks like they are ready to make it work with a possible summer wedding coming up. Hayden is 23 years old and Wladimir is 37 years old but they appear to have a loving relationship, so we wish them the best of luck!

According to a source close to the couple, "Very few people know, and she isn't wearing her ring publicly yet." The source added that the weeding is actually coming up soon, saying, and "Looks like a summer wedding!"
