Nothing had really gone wrong. Nobody cheated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remember the look on his face being pure shock at how visceral and massive my negative reaction was, and he immediately took it back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hayden explained that Milo initially asked to get back together because he was so overwhelmed by her reaction.<\/p>\n<p>The Hollywood star said: &#8220;One hundred percent it was only because I was over the toilet, hysterically crying. It was like my world had crumbled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite their eventual split, Hayden insists she&#8217;s always been wholeheartedly committed to all of her relationships.<\/p>\n<p>The actress &#8211; who has Kaya, 11, with ex-partner Wladimir Klitschko &#8211; explained: &#8220;Every relationship I\u2019ve ever been in, I invested my whole self in. I saw him as my partner and that it was going to hopefully keep going and evolving and lead to marriage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Hayden recalled harbouring doubts about her relationship with Milo at the time.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8220;It was a point of contention that I was unable to put the \u2018I\u2019 in front of \u2018love you\u2019 and at the time, I didn\u2019t realise or understand why it made me feel so uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I could only say \u2018love you\u2019 in a casual way. Being older, he was much more aware of what that meant. And that said a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Milo previously framed their romance as a learning experience<\/p>\n<p>The actor &#8211; who is now married to model Jarah Mariano &#8211; told MR PORTER: &#8220;There are things that happen to you in your life that shape who you are.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything I&#8217;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. It wasn&#8217;t until my mid to late twenties that the job wears on you, relationships wear on you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I wouldn&#8217;t change a thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/hayden-panettiere-recalls-left-field-split-heroes-star-1442374.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 May 2026 Hayden Panettiere&#8216;s split from Milo Ventimiglia was &#8220;so out of left field&#8221;.
