Sorry fellas, Hayden Panettiere has confirmed that she's off the market and officially engaged to her on-again-off-again Olympic boxer boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko. Trust us, you do not want to try to steal her away from him.

Partially because he's a boxer, but mostly because he's a Russian boxer.

Panettiere confirmed the news (via Us Weekly) on Live With Kelly & Michael (Oct. 9), entering the sound stage with a boa constrictor around her neck and a giant diamond on her finger.

"I'm sort of distracted, not just by the snake, but there's a very large diamond ring on your finger. I'm not sure if you want to announce anything … does that signify anything, is that a promise of something?" host Kelly Ripa teased on live television.

To which Hayden coyly replied, "I mean, I think it speaks for itself."

However, she eventually gave up the ghost when Ripa point-blank asked if she was engaged, to which a delighted newly un-single lady gushed, "I am!"

The couple first met in 2009 and rumors circulated back in March that they were engaged on the down low, but now we can report: it's official!
