Hayden Panettiere Comes Out as Bisexual

  • On Wednesday, 'Heroes' alum Hayden Panettiere, 36, publicly identified as bisexual for the first time, stating, "Now that I've chosen to share it with the world, I'm comfortable to confidently say that yes, I am bisexual."
  • Panettiere explained that past media scrutiny and feeling forced to be perfect delayed her disclosure, fearing that coming out would be viewed as jumping on the bandwagon during a time when many women publicly discussed their sexuality.
  • While the actress has dated women privately, she previously lacked the courage to commit fully because she did not want to hide a potential relationship. "If I did fall in love, that wasn't something that I wanted to ever have to hide," she added.
  • Her memoir, 'This Is Me: A Reckoning,' releasing May 19, details her personal evolution and struggles with addiction, with Panettiere expressing hope that sharing her stories helps others overcome obstacles.
  • Panettiere maintains a close bond with her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya Evdokia Klitschko, and ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko, noting it's "incredible" to watch her daughter thrive in areas she struggled with growing up.
