'I was born to be a mother': Hayden Panettiere opens up about having children and her second chance at love with 'fiance' Wladimir Klitschko
By JADE WATKINS
They rekindled their romance two months ago after splitting up in 2011, and are now rumoured to be now engaged.
And it seems that Hayden Panettiere and her boxer beau Wladimir Klitschko's second chance at love has finally cemented their relationship.
In a new interview with Glamour magazine, the pint-sized Nashville star opens up about the couple's renewed love and her plans for the future.
Motherhood: Hayden Panettiere opens up about motherhood in the new May edition of Glamour magazine as she shows off her fit figure in sexy CHUCS bikini bottoms and a white shirt knotted at the bust
At 23-years-old, Hayden says that she would not discount becoming a first time mother.
'I've lived a very big life and I don't feel my age and I feel like I was born to be a mother,' she explains.
'Sometimes people speak about (having kids) like "Your life ends - you're never going to be able to do anything again!" And I'm like "What are talking about?" Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing, and there's nothing I feel like I can't accomplish while having children in my life.
'I would sacrifice having more years of being wherever I want whenever I want for years with my kids.'

When asked if Hayden could be with the father of her future children right now, the blonde beauty candidly tells that magazine: 'It wouldn't shock me!'
Hayden says that this time around her relationship with Wladimir has changed and for the better, especially since they remained good friends.
'It's like the 2.0 version. I've always had relationships and stayed really good friends with the guys I have dated,' she explains.

The blonde beauty says she has always been close to the six foot six Ukrainian sport star, since meeting him five years ago at a charity event.
'Life is like a lunchroom at school. In this industry you've got little individual tables of actors, singers, rap stars, this, that, the other. But it's a big industry that also encompasses anyone in the public eye,' she explains.
'An acquaintance of ours did a coffee-table book, and the proceeds when to genocide prevention. We met at the party for the launch of the book; we've been friends for years - we've never not been close.'
Hayden says her views on marriage and relationships have not been rocked by her own parent's union, which was initially shattered when her father went to jail for domestic violence for abusing her mother when Hayden was just 18-years-old.

So close: Hayden and Wladimir have remained close for five years
So in love: The couple were spotted putting on quite the PDA at a Hollywood, Florida beach last weekend
Alan Panettiere was arrested at her parent's West Hollywood home in 2008 after allegedly abusing Hayden's mother Lesley.
He was later charged with misdemeanor spousal battery and was placed on probation for two years, ordered to pay $400 to the state's domestic violence fund, and was made to enroll and complete a 52-week domestic violence treatment program.
'When it happened, I knew my denying it or saying it was false wasn't going to do anything. People would just say, "Oh, she's in denial." My parents are really good people - they are just not meant to be together,' explains Hayden.
Rekindled love: The couple rekindled their romance two months ago after splitting up in 2011, and are now rumoured to be now engaged
Bling: Hayden flashed was is thought to be her engagement ring at a Miami Heat basketball game last week which she attended with Wladimir
News of Hayden and Wladimir's engagement emerged last month and while they have yet to comment on the reports, Hayden has finally officially confirmed that they are back together.
'I think it's pretty obvious. I am not going to deny it,' she tells Glamour.
Healthy: The actress tells Glamour that she has experimented with diets in the past, but now with her busy schedule on Nashville can no longer afford to deny herself of food
The couple have been inseparable since getting back together, with the blonde star spotted spending most of her time in Florida, where the boxer lives.
A source told Usmagazine.com of the engagement: 'Very few people know, and she isn't wearing her ring publicly yet.'
And now Hayden and Wladimir are engaged, they are now said to be already planning their nuptials - with the wedding tentatively set for later this year.
The source added: 'Looks like a summer wedding!'
In January, Hayden had denied that the two had officially reconnected after he was seen dropping her off at the airport.
When she landed in Los Angeles on January 11 she insisted to TMZ that the former couple were just good friends, but her giggly demeanour somewhat spelled otherwise.
'We've been friends for five years now, so we're just good buddies,' she told the website.
'I knew that was going to be the question! I was lassoed in.'
Her reunion with Wladimir comes after the star split with former New York Jets star McKnight last December.
The actress and footballer had been dating since June 2011, just one month after she split from fellow pro-athlete Wladimir.
Hayden had been dating the Ukrainian sports star since 2009 before parting ways in 2011.
In a statement obtained by German magazine Bunte, Wladimir said they called time on their 18-month romance because it was difficult coping with having a long-distance relationship.
Standing at just 5'2, Hayden is known for her super fit figure, often showing it off on the beach in a bikini.
The actress also tells Glamour that she has experimented with diets in the past, but now with her busy schedule on Nashville can no longer afford to deny herself of food.
'I refused myself a lot of things for a long time, and the more I did that, the more I wanted foods I wasn't supposed to have,' she explains.
'Now I am on my feet for 16 hours a day, and I need energy, so I eat constantly. Every two hours, you should be throwing something in., a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit.'
