Wladimir Klitschko & Hayden Panettiere: Meet Their Family

How They Met


The relationship between Klitschko and Panettiere goes back to 2009, when they met at a party of a mutual friend. The difference in their sizes originally broke the ice. "I know that I'm small, but he's large," joked Panettiere. "That's how we met. I said, 'You're huge.' And he said, 'You're tiny.' And that was it."

Distance forced them to amicably split up in 2011, but they were back together two years later, and in October 2013, she announced that they were engaged.

"We've never not been close," she says. (Getty)
