Hayden Panettiere is clapping back at critics who claim she abandoned her daughter. The actress opened up on Jay Shetty's podcast about letting Kaya live full-time with ex Wladimir Klitschko.
Hayden and the Ukrainian boxing legend first met at a 2008 party, started dating in 2009, and welcomed Kaya in 2014 after getting engaged. Their rocky romance ended for good in 2018 amid Hayden's battles with postpartum depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. She described signing the custody papers as one of the worst days of her life but insisted it was the most stable choice for Kaya at the time.
