Falling in love on set, asHayden PanettiereandMilo Ventimigliadid, is not exactly anything new for celebrities.
We’ve seen many co-stars take things off screen from Brangelina to Bennifer to, yes, Halo.
And not too long after the show premiered, so did the co-stars' romance.
They come together to save the world and grapple with their newfound powers.
Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia were often on the front page of tabloids.
Not to mention, Panettiere had just turned 18 around the time they officially announced they were a couple.
It doesn’t help that they met on set when Panettiere was only 17, and Milo was 29.
As noted byThe Telegraphin 2013, Panettiere’s “relationship history features some significantly older beaus.”
He gave his two cents toPeople, saying “The rumor is not true.
Let’s just end it there.”
A cycle of denying was a mainstay from when the rumors began up until the relationship fizzled out.
Talk about media training.
As of this writing, Ventimiglia remains mum on his personal life.
I think flowers, or just little things that say they care" she once told People.
She recounted a specific instance where things were taken a step further.
In true Halo fashion, she followed up with, “I don’t know.
don’t think I ever said I had a boyfriend.”
All signs seem to point to Ventimiglia if we’re to take his word for it.
“He’s even met her grandparents,” the source claimed.
“He fits in perfectly with the family.”
Not to mention, Ventimiglia is a family man himself.
His parents are his biggest role models (viaE!
Yup, you read that right.Claire was revealed to be Peter’s niece.
Fans, naturally, had some feelings about the revelation.
“They just had that chemistry.”
Not to mention, the show and their careers were gaining momentum.
Outside of those events, the press still hounded them like moths to a flame.
Before their romance, they both came from long-term relationships.
They both wanted to keep the media out of their romance.
Unfortunately for Halo, though, the early 2000s were theheydays of the paparazzi.
And again, in true Halo fashion, Ventimiglia echoed the same in an interview with GQ.
“When you’re in the public eye, you attempt to keep whatever you could private.
People can speculate and talk,” he said (viaPeople).
“But what can you do stop living your life?”
“Heroes” ended a year later talk about divine timing!
When the show started in 2006, it earnedcritical acclaim.
However, after the first season, the show had generally mixed reviews.
He went as far as to enumerate the pitfalls of the show.
He’s 31, she’s 19.
She still has growing up to do and he’s very low-key.
The relationship never seemed like it had legs."
Neither Ventimiglia nor Panettiere publicly addressed the breakup.
The rumor mill speculated on possible causes, includinga pregnancy scare, which was laterdenied by Panettiere.
I’ve never been pregnant."
As a young woman in Hollywood, she often felt the pressure to uphold a certain image.
Privacy was something the couple came to lose more and more as their careers took off.
Regarding the success of “Heroes,” Panettiere divulged toPeople, “It completely ruined my personal life.
I mean, you walk out the door and you’ve got ten cameras in your face.
They learned from their relationship and went their separate ways
People deal with breakups differently.
“But that’s me, that’s not everybody, " she continued.
Ventimiglia did not have much to say after the couple’s breakup until years later.
Nevertheless, in an interview withMr.
You learn from it.
You learn a better way of doing things.”
But I wouldn’t change a thing.”
Let’s hope Ventimiglia isn’t an exception.
