In Touch magazine claims that Heroes actor Milo Ventimiglia, 31, is going to ask girlfriend and co-star Hayden Panettiere, 18, to marry him. The couple haven’t been publicly dating all that long, since Hayden only became legal last August. But it was widely rumored that they were together for a while before that. If she wasn’t so young, I’d probably say they seem cute and happy together, best of luck, etc.
Don’t tell Hayden Panettiere, but her boyfriend, Milo Ventimiglia, is planning to propose! The actor, 31, recently confided to a friend that even though Hayden is only 18 years old, he wants to get engaged, preferably this year. “Milo was looking at rings in late June,” the pal says. “He really likes Cartier and intends to spend around $200,000.” Hayden and Milo, who met on the set of Heroes, reportedly began dating in January.

I think January is when they actually kinda sorta acknowledged that they were seeing each other. I will admit that Hayden seems a lot more mature than most of the other girls her age in Hollywood. You don’t see her out tramping around like Paris/Britney/Lindsay. She goes out to dinner and shops and does all that other photographer-friendly stuff, but she’s never photographed falling out of clubs drunk, and I’m pretty sure she has yet to rack up any DUIs.
All that said, she’s still 18. Being more mature than Paris Hilton doesn’t make a person ready for marriage. If so, my cats could have gotten hitched years ago. 18 is still 18, and that’s damn young to commit your life to someone, no matter how great they are. I doubt Hayden’s had all that many boyfriends besides Milo. It makes sense that he’s probably ready to get married at his age, but even if she thinks she is, it’d probably be best if they gave it some time. Maybe he’s just getting her a promise ring or something else more age-appropriate.

I got married at 18, WAY too young.
There is a 13 year age difference between them, which may not be a good thing.
*puts down dinner and picks up to call Chrish Hansen*
…they admitted dating after HP turned of age, but they likely were dating before that. Meaning either he broke the law and was on some To Catch a Predator shiz and actually dated her, pre-18. Or he didn’t break the law, they dated once she was of age and now they are both being stupid talking about marrying when she is so young. 🙄 😐
This situation kind of reminds me of Jessica Alba’s engagement to Michael Weatherly back when Dark Angel was in production. It seemed cute at the time, but she was way too young for it to work out.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen pictures of her drunk at clubs, and out on the street afterward. I think her PR people are just better at keeping her under the radar and out of the attention of the paparazzi.
Either way, 18 is way too young to even think about getting married – at least not beyond fantasizing about your wedding day and what colors you want.
I’m still waiting for her to face up to the arrest warrant they have for her in Japan for obstructing those fishermen. Its cool to have a cause and save the dolphins, but if your going to be an activist, I think you should face up to the consequences, not run back to the United States after breaking the law.
Sick and wrong. He needs to find a playmate that is at least in her early twenties. This GIRL literally just graduated high school. It says a lot about his maturity level to go for a GIRL so young. Yes, he is handsome and I am sure a nice man, but I wouldn’t let him within a 100 miles of my daughters. This guy has had his eye on her even way before she became of legal age. My personal thought is he is a pedo in the making.
He’s definitely TOO old for her.
Just the right age for me, though. 😉
#2 I think you’re thinking of her ex Stephen Coletti. That’s who she was dating before she was 18. #6 She didn’t just graduate High School she’ll be 19 next month and that is way too old to be in High School. But yes In Touch is a crappy magazine that just makes anything up all the time so I don’t see why some people are taking this seriously.
she’s 18, so she really cant afford to be photographed stumbling out of clubs at her age, especially since she is the star of a major network’s hit show. thats just not something she can do. that bieng said, shes too freaking young to be getting married. I have to wonder what a guy 12 years older than her sees in a teenager (besides the obvious). he must be immature and doesnt connect with people his own age. I know that hollywood types grow up faster, but still.
Another girl who likes them fruity and vaguely effeminate. Sad.
They LOOK the same age!
I really don’t think a man who, maybe inappropriately to some people, is in a relationship with an adult woman, even though barely, qualifies as a pedophile, Sick. That’s a pretty serious word to through around at a guy who’s in a relationship with a female who is fully grown.
My mom was married at 19, but my dad was 21 not 31. They’re still together 32 years later, but not everyone can succeed as they did. I agree that this dude needs to find a WOMAN his own age. Don’t like how his mouth pulls down when he talks, either.
I say good for them!
They are both adults, both Hollywood millionaires, clearly in love and happy together.
She’s an 18-year-old kid. Hollywood or not, she needs to get out and live a little. We all assume we’re going to marry our “high school sweethearts” when we’re young and dumb, (I know when I was 18, that was the plan) but unless you see what else is out there in the world, you’re never going to value what you have at home. I’d hate to see such a nice couple grow old and resentful in a matter of years simply because neither felt free to explore other options.
My mom was 19 when she married my dad and he was 21. Twenty eight years later their still together. My sis also got married about a year ago and she was only 20. I think it tends to be the people and how much they really want to be together, how well they work together than the age.
I married my husband when I was 20 and he was 36. We met and began dating when I was 18. I am now 32 (our 12th anniversary is coming up in August!) Although age is widely percieved as the standard indicator of maturity and experience, sometimes it’s not. That, if anything, is one of the most common themes in all celebrity stories. So… he’s not too old for her. Stop being so close minded!
Its not the age difference, its the fact she is a TEENAGER, barely out of high school.
Just so everyone knows, Milo did date a girl his age before Hayden. Does the name Alexis Bledel ring a bell? They were together for 3, 4 years and talked about getting married, but broke up in 07 because she was in LA an
and he was in new york. They were the perfect couple. But the whole Hayden things sucks. I dont think theyll get married. I promise you. Theyll break up.
What is wrong with Milo. I dont think the marriege thing will will work.I think Hayden will slap on Milos cheeks and run away.
i don’t wan’t milo to marry hayden. i think shes way to young and i have a crush on Milo, although i’m younger than hayden.
it’s their life,so gudluk to them both.nd everyone should be concerned with theirs,rather than criticising others,,,whom they have never ever met.just happen to read about them in magazines and from net.so let them live in peace and let all the celebs live in peace.let them have a normal life .
