Perhaps now that Hayden Panettiere is 18 -- and no longer jailbait status -- she wants to spread her dating wings?

Us Weekly reports that the Heroes star has broken up with Laguna Beach vet Stephen Colletti, 21, after over a year of dating.

"Their breakup has been a long time coming," a source told Us. Hayden herself told the mag, "We are still very close friends and talk to each other frequently. We appreciate and support each other's careers."

Me, I'm pulling for Stephen to reunite with fellow Laguna alum -- and one-time BFF -- Lauren Conrad. A little Stephen infused into this season of The Hills will do the show some good.
