Hayden Panettiere says she looks back on her relationship with Milo Ventimiglia as “uncomfortable,” describing it as a “point of contention.” Both outlets report that Panettiere was a teenager when she dated Ventimiglia while the pair worked on NBC’s superhero drama Heroes. The New York Post and Daily Mail both say the age gap was significant, with Panettiere at 18 and Ventimiglia in his late 20s or around 30 at the time. The Daily Mail adds that the relationship is described as beginning in December 2007, even though the two were cast on Heroes earlier, as far back as early 2006. Neither outlet presents new information about Ventimiglia beyond the shared reporting about their involvement in Heroes and the age difference during the period they dated. The accounts focus on Panettiere’s characterization of the relationship in retrospect, including her description of why it was “uncomfortable.”
