Finally, “Heroes” co-stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia are admitting they’re a couple. Hey, I don’t blame them for trying to keep their relationship under wraps, but who doesn’t love juicy couple news?

At a recent holiday party in Los Angeles, Milo Ventimiglia told his “Heroes” co-stars that he and Hayden Panettiere are dating.

In Touch Weekly magazine reports that a source said, “He called her his girlfriend and said that he loved her.” Milo and Hayden were seen at the party holding hands and sitting together.

OK, so it’s not exactly first-hand confirmation that Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia are dating, but I’ll take what I can get. And hope for more juicy news in the weeks to come.
