Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko Expecting First Child

Steiger Award 2011

Hayden Panettiere plays a country singer on TV. Let’s hope that she can really sing because someone is going to be dealing with a lot of song requests.. and when we say song requests we mean lullabies.

According to reports, Panettiere, 24, and fiance Wladimir Klitschko, 38, are expecting their first child. It will be the first born for each of the parents-to-be. Just like her engagement, Hayden kept her pregnancy status relatively mum for quite some time. The baby is coming whether they’re married or not – and they don’t seem to be in any rush to tie the knot:

“We are very laid-back about the wedding plans; we don’t want to rush anything. We want the day to be fun, happy and stress-free. Growing up, the thought of not getting married never crossed my mind. It was always: I’m going to get married and then I’m going to have a family.”

The news of Panettiere’s pregnancy may impact her status on the show Nashville as they are expected to start shooting their third season shortly. Most likely, the pregnancy will be twisted into the plot of the show. Congratulations to the couple! Best of health to Hayden!
