The Truth About Hayden Panettiere And Milo Ventimiglia's Relationship

People deal with breakups differently. Despite remaining mum with the press about her breakup with Milo Ventimiglia, she admitted to Seventeen in 2009, "My instinct when I go through heartbreak or a bad situation is to talk about it" (via MTV). "But that's me, that's not everybody, " she continued. "A lot of people, you know, their instinct is to bury it and distract themselves from it."

Ventimiglia did not have much to say after the couple's breakup until years later. "Don't s**t where you eat," he quickly answered when asked whether or not dating co-stars is a good idea (via E! News). Nevertheless, in an interview with Mr. Porter, he explained, "There are things that happen to you in your life that shape who you are. Everything I've been through from jobs to friendships to partnerships, everything has built me to who I am. You learn from it. You learn a better way of doing things." He continued, saying, "It wasn't until my mid to late twenties that the job wears on you, relationships wear on you. But I wouldn't change a thing."

It can't be said for sure how things turned out for the two after the relationship, but we'll take what we can get from Panettiere's interview with Glamour in 2013. As she shared, "I've always had great relationships and stayed really good friends with the guys I've dated." Let's hope Ventimiglia isn't an exception.
