Wladimir Klitschko's ex-partner answered ‘what everyone wanted to know’ about their sex life
Hayden Panettiere, the ex-partner of boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko, answered the question 'everyone wanted to know' about their sex life.
The American actress and singer, 36, was in a relationship with the Ukrainian between 2009 and 2011, and again between 2013 and 2018.
In the same year as they broke up for a second time, Panettiere struggled with addiction and postpartum depression, and she relinquished full custody of their daughter, Kaya, to Klitschko.
The pair remain on friendly terms and now co-parent their daughter, who was born in 2014.

Those topics are all covered in Panettiere's upcoming memoir, titled 'This Is Me: A Reckoning'.
The book will be released later this month, and, according to its synopsis, is a 'rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery'.
One topic she doesn't cover, it seems, is one particular aspect of her sex life with Klitschko which people constantly asked her questions about.
During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2011, she said that people wanted to know how things worked given their significant height difference.
While Panettiere stands at 5ft 1in tall, Klitschko - one of the most imposing heavyweight boxers of all-time - stands at 6ft 6in.
"He is quite a bit bigger than me," she said during her appearance. "I get the prudest people coming up to me, and they're like, 'Does it work?'
"Yeah, it works. We find a way!"
DeGeneres, appearing to be half-joking, said she was 'in shock' at the revelation.
"Where there's a will, there's a way," Panettiere replied. "And they're very conservative people [who ask her], most of the time. They just have to know.
"Like, have to know. 'I just have to ask you this question!"
Panettiere added that she found the whole experience of answering the question 'amusing'.
