Recently turned 18 year old 'Hero' Hayden and 21 year old 'Hills' alum Stephen Colletti have broken up. In the background I am hearing a stampede of guys forming a line. Anywhoo, the ex-daters of one year decided to part ways a mere few weeks after hottie Hayden became legal. Did Stephen dump her to find a younger, less legal girlfriend? Or did Hayden do the dumping so she could sample less boring offerings elsewhere?

Panettiere tells Us, "We are still very close friends and talk to each other frequently. We appreciate and support each other's careers."

The standard break up quote....
