Panettiere spotted with mystery man amid split reports

Actress Hayden Panettiere was spotted holding hands with a mystery man here amid reports of her split from her fiance Wladimir Klitschko.

Panettiere and the mystery man were seen together leaving celebrity hotspot Craig's here on Thursday. They even stopped to show off their dance moves. In photographs, Panettiere can be seen dancing in the parking lot, laughing and twirling around with the man before they hopped inside their car, reports people.com.

Following the outing, Panettiere's mother said the actress had split from Klitschko and that "there are a lot of changes going on in her life".

"But I think they're positive changes. And I think that she's taking some time," her mother Lesley Vogel told RadarOnline.

"She needs to take a little bit of a break and make some decisions on her own of what she wants to do. So I think she is in a very good place."

Vogel said that amid the split and her show "Nashville" ending, her daughter had relocated from Nashville to Los Angeles.

Vogel added that Panettiere and Klitschko are still on good terms.

Panettiere shares three-year-old daughter Kaya with the Ukrainian boxing champion.

The couple started dating in 2009 before splitting temporarily in 2011. They later rekindled their on-again, off-again romance and got engaged in 2013, though they never got married.

Panettiere and Klitschko were last seen together in public in February while enjoying a getaway with their daughter in Barbados.
