Hayden Panettiere can't wait to become a mother, according to her fiancé Wladimir Klitschko.

In June, Us Weekly reported that the "Nashville" actress and her fiancé were expecting their first child together. Now the heavyweight boxer has opened up to E! News about becoming a first-time father, and his plans for the future

"When you're going to become a father or a parent, your life is going to change," he said. "So I look forward to having my life change for the good and I heard, just recently, somebody said, 'You don't know what love is until you have your first baby, then you know what love is.' So I think I know what love is, but I look forward to getting more knowledgeable about that."

When asked about his fiancée, Klitschko replied, "She's an amazing person and I'm more than sure that she's going to be an amazing mom. Her wish to become a mother and have a child [was something] she's been mentioning and telling me about a lot. You know, every dream will eventually come true and she's going to be more than an amazing mother."

The actress has been very vocal about her desire to start a family - even claiming that she was born to be a mother. Klitschko, who is currently training for his fight against Kubrat Pulev next month at the O2 World Arena in Hamburg, said he and his fiancé are open to receiving feedback and tips on raising a child.

"When you become parents for the first time, you are very open to any information and any advice and anything that is knowledgeable because in the first step, without experience, it's important to have expectations and know what it's going to be," the former "Heroes" actress said.

Panettiere's fiancé also hinted that the couple would keep the baby's sex a secret until the birth, saying, "It's not important where the baby is going to be born, it's not important [whether it's a] boy or girl, what's important is that the baby's healthy."
