\n\tHayden Panettiere\u2018s ex-boyfriend,\u00a0Wladimir Klitschko,<\/a> is paying tribute to the late actress on what would\u2019ve been her 37th birthday. She died Sunday, Aug. 16,<\/a> just five days prior.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cToday is Hayden\u2019s birthday. Instead of celebrating the way we had planned, today we celebrate her life, her spirit, and the love she brought into this world,\u201d wrote Klitschko. \u201cI want to thank all of Hayden\u2019s fans, friends, and everyone who has reached out for the incredible outpouring of love and support. At a time filled with so much sadness, your kindness has reminded me that there is still so much good in humanity. If you\u2019re reading this, I ask just one thing: even if only for a moment, think about LOVE. Reach out to a friend. Forgive someone. Be kind. Love is a superpower. Use it. Happy Birthday, Hayden. You are loved, you are missed, and you will never be forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKlitschko is a former\u00a0professional boxer who won an Olympic gold medal for Ukraine at the 1996 Games in the\u00a0super-heavyweight\u00a0division. He and Panettiere dated on and off for nearly a decade beginning in 2009. They were engaged before Panettiere gave birth to their daughter, Kaya, in 2014, but their relationship ended in 2018 when Panettiere gave up custody of Kaya while struggling with postpartum depression and addiction.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe announcement of Hayden\u2019s tragic death saddens me deeply,\u201d Klitschko said in the days after her death. \u201cShe left this world far too soon. Hayden was, although no longer my partner, an important part of my life and the mother of our daughter, Kaya. She built an incredible career through immense talent, while also facing the darker sides of a very demanding industry. Nothing will erase the times we shared or the place she had in our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
