Hayden Panettiere has reportedly dumped Steve Jones.
The
Heroes star enjoyed a brief romance with the TV presenter this summer, during which they were spotted eating together in London and went to the Cannes film festival. However, Hayden decided to end her relationship with the 32-year-old hunk because she couldn't handle a long-distance relationship.
She is quoted by Daily Mirror as saying, "I'm single and mingling. Steve lives in London, the distance is a bit too much. I'm not dating anyone specifically and I'm not looking for a house with anyone. Cannes was a great experience. I was on vacation and some friends were going so I decided to come along. It was fun."
The 19-year-old actress also spoke about her father's arrest in September last year for allegedly hitting his wife, Lesley, on her cheek. Hayden insists the case was a "big misunderstanding".
