  • Hayden Panettiere Dishes on New Daughter and the ‘Surreal Experience’ of Becoming a Mother

    Hayden Panettiere has introduced newborn daughter Kaya to the world, along with some details about life post-baby.

    The Nashville star and her fiance Wladimir Klitschko, 38, introduced daughter Kaya Evdokia in the Jan. 12 edition of People magazine.

    “I’m limping around. I’m still trying to figure out what [pregnancy] has done to my body, how it’s changed it. What’s temporary and what’s permanent,” the actress told the magazine of the “surreal experience.”

    “I feel like an 80-year-old woman trying to go down the stairs, you know — please tell me this is temporary! But I know some things will never be the same again,” she said.

    The happy parents welcomed their first child, who weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces, and measured 20 inches long, on Dec. 9.

    Panettiere, 25, said she was “grateful” for her epidural and the help of Klitschko’s mother, who has been there to help out as they adjust to becoming new parents.

    “She’s really so sweet,” Panettiere said of her new baby girl “I’m sure that’s the way it’s meant to be, because when they are putting you through the wringer you’re like, ‘You are so lucky you’re cute!’”

  • Hayden Panettiere Gives Birth — ‘Nashville’ Star and Fiancé Wladimir Klitschko Welcome Baby Daughter Kaya Evdokia

    Hayden Panettiere has given birth to a baby girl!

    The Nashville star and fiancé Wladimir Klitschko welcomed daughter Kaya Evdokia Klitschko — their first child — on Tuesday, Dec. 9, her rep confirmed to People.

    The little princess weighed in at 7 lbs., 14 oz., and measured 20 inches.

    “We are over the moon and madly in love!” the ecstatic new parents gushed.

    The 25-year-old actress kept the pregnancy on the down-low for the majority of the past nine months, but the Heroes alum eventually revealed to E! News that she was expecting a baby girl.

    “I’m so ready to hold my baby girl—I’m going to be a very hands on mom,” she told Hello! magazine. “I’m thrilled that I am having a girl first because I feel like I know a lot about raising a strong woman. I feel very empowered myself and I think my daughter will, too.”

    And as to her baby girl’s name, Kaya Evdokia, Panettiere said it was very important to the couple to find a name that worked in American and Klitschko’s native Ukrainian.

    “We have to make sure that it is American and Ukrainian all at the same time,” she said. “That’s a little rough…we’re still working on it.”

    Panettiere announced her engagement to Klitschko in October, but says she’ll take her time before walking down the aisle.

    “I’ll tell you one thing for sure: I am not walking down the aisle 40 pounds heavier than usual in a wedding dress with a huge pregnancy belly stitched in,” she told E!. “Not happening.”

  • Hayden Panettiere Feeling the Weight of Her Pregnancy Pounds

    Hayden Panettiere has packed on quite a few pounds during her pregnancy and is really beginning to feel the strain on her petite frame.

    “I’m five feet, two inches, and I started out at 106 pounds and guess how much I weigh now? Around 145 pounds,” the eight-month-preganant actress told Hello Magazine, via The Daily Mail. “And the worst part is that my feet are still size five and they’re going, ‘What’s going on with all this weight?’ They’re about to snap from underneath me with the strain.”

    The Nashville star, who showed off her bare baby bump in a Halloween Twitter photo last week, believes some of her weight gain can be attributed to her athletic body.

    “I’m still quite muscular, so if you’re running around carrying 40 pounds of extra weight, you’re going to build extra muscle,” she said.

    Not only is Panettiere keen to have her pregnancy over with and return to her normal weight, she is also very excited to see her new little baby girl and hold her for the first time.

    “I’m so ready to hold my baby girl,” she said. “I’m going to be a very hands-on mom. I’m thrilled that I am having a girl first because I feel like I know a lot about raising a strong woman. I feel very empowered myself and I think my daughter will, too.”

    Panettiere said one thing that will have to wait until she’s back to normal size is a wedding with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko.

    “I’ll tell you one thing for sure, I am not walking down the aisle 40 pounds heavier than usual in a wedding dress with a huge pregnancy belly stitched in. Not happening,” she said.

  • Hayden Panettiere Bares Baby Bump While Baby-Mooning

    Hayden Panettiere is certainly looking the part of mom-to-be with her growing baby bump.

    The pregnant 24-year-old actress was spotted with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko in Italy over the weekend wearing loose navy pants and a crop top that showed off her adorable baby bump.

    The baby-mooning couple were snapped while strolling in the Sardinian seaside resort of Porto Cervo.

    The former Heroes actress and her boxing star fiancé became engaged in October 2013, and the news of her pregnancy broke in May.

    It seems Panettiere has always wanted to be a mother. She expressed her desire for children in an interview with Glamour in 2013, saying, “I feel like I was born to be a mother.”

    “Sometimes people speak about [having kids] like, ‘Your life ends — you’re never going to be able to do anything again!’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing,” she said. “There’s nothing that I feel like I can’t accomplish while having children in my life.”

    The Nashville actress is in her second trimester and commented on her growing figure Monday on Twitter.

    On The Ellen DeGeneres Show in November 2013, she joked about what her kids with the 6-foot-6 Klitschko might look like.

    “He’s got bowlegs and I’ve got knocked knees, so they’re going to have straight legs,” said Panettiere. “And they’ll be normal height.”

    The couple recently put their wedding on hold due to unrest in Klitschko’s native Ukraine where his brother is now the mayor of Kiev.

    “Everything that’s happening in Ukraine definitely put a hold on things. But we have time,” said Panettiere to Parade Magazine.
