Hayden Panettiere Confirms She’s Engaged
Finally! 'Nashville' star Hayden Panettiere has confirmed she's engaged to heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko.
The actress, who appeared on 'Live with Kelly and Michael' on Wednesday (Oct. 9), walked in wearing a live boa constrictor -- and a diamond. Panettiere has appeared on the show before, scaring co-host Michael Strahan with a fake snake, so she thought she'd shake things up with a live slithering creature this time.
Turns out, although her diamond was much smaller than the snake, it stole the show.
"I am distracted, not just by the snake, but there's a very large diamond ring on your ring finger," Ripa said, confronting the actress. "I'm not sure if you want to announce anything. Does that signify anything? Is that a promise of something?"
Panettiere beamed, glancing down at the humongous rock on her finger. "It might be. I think it speaks for itself," she admitted as she held up her sparkling diamond.
"So, are you engaged?" Ripa flat-out asked. The actress nodded, "I am!" laughing as the audience cheered their congratulations.
The couple has not yet set a wedding date and are enjoying their newly-engaged status. Panettiere hasn't spilled the engagement story or when the question actually happened, but rumors have been floating around for quite a while.
Congratulations to the couple!
