Is ‘Nashville’ actress Hayden Panettiere secretly engaged to Wladimir Klitschko? According to some sources, they are in fact planning to wed.

The 23-year-old actress and the heavyweight boxing world-champion began dating in 2009 and split amicably two years later, citing the difficulties of a long-distance relationship.

Apparently absence made the heart grow fonder because they reunited in January and were seen exchanging PDA over the weekend at a Miami Heat game.

When asked about her rekindled romance with the 37-year-old Ukranian in mid-January, she said coyly, “We’ve been friends for five years now, so we’re just good buddies.”

Following their split Panettiere hooked up with NFL player Scotty McKnight. Their relationship fizzled out in December 2012, leaving the door wide open to renew her long distance fling with Klitschko.

The former ‘Heroes’ celeb has a tattoo running down her left side. Translated from Italian is proclaims “Living Without Regret.”
