Former “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere and her boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko have gone their separate ways.

The 21-year-old actress said, “Even though we’ve decided splitting up is best for both of us, we have an amazing amount of love and respect for each other and remain very close friends.”

The 35-year-old Ukranian boxer added, “We had great time together but it’s not that easy to manage a relationship between two continents. I have a lot of respect for Hayden as a person and as a friend and I believe we’ll keep our friendship even after the separation.”

Panettiere and Klitschko dated for two years.
