Hayden Panettiere and Milo VentimigliaHeroes stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia aren’t dating, according to their co-star James Kyson Lee.

Rumours began to circulate about Hayden and Milo - who play Claire and Peter in the show - after they were spotted together around Hollywood on a number of occasions.

James, who plays the superpower-less Ando, told People magazine recently: “The rumor is not true. Let’s just end it there.”

“I think we were just surprised because they’re 12 years apart - for people to even conceive that. I know there have been a lot of jokes, Hayden turning 18 and whatnot. At some point, you just have to let it go, and respect their privacy.”
