Heroes co-stars admit to dating

By Alexandra Heilbron on December 31, 2007 | 10 Comments

After months of speculation, it seems that Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere are indeed dating. According to British paper The Sun, Ventimiglia, who was earlier in a long-term relationship with his Gilmore Girls co-star Alexis Bledel, was at a party in LA and referred to Panettiere as his girlfriend and said that he loved her. The pair were often spotted getting cozy with each other at events, but they have denied a relationship until now. They may have kept quiet about because of the age difference—he’s 30; she’s 18.

   Oh well, she is 18 and that makes her an adult who can legally make her own decisions!!

   Guys that age should leave the “just past jail bait” girls alone. Pretty pathetic that his dick thinks for him and if this is how he acts now – what the hell is he going to do when he’s having a serious mid-life crisis.

   Not to let her off the hook either, but what is she doing? Someone should tell he this could lead to career suicide. It’s not as if he’s some Hollywood big shot. Some of these starlets need to spend a little more time in school because they are sooooooooo dumb.

   I think it so cute. My husband is 7 years older than me and we met when I was 16 and were friends for a little over a year until we started to date. We are still together almost 7 years later and have kids. So it definately works. Remember ladies it takes men to mature longer than girls. So maybe she just didn’t want a immature man.

   So true, Lisa, there is only 2 years between me & my man, and I don’t really think that’s enough. If I were to find myself single again, I’d really want someone at least 10 years older than me.
