Wladimir Klitschko, Hayden Panettiere’s former fiancé, has publicly addressed the tragic news of the actress’s untimely passing at the age of 36.
At the age of four, Kaya’s primary custody was transferred from Hayden to Wladimir as she sought help for her issues with alcohol and opioid addiction. The Heroes actress has been very open about her battle with intense postpartum depression.
“To see that we still have this bond and the ability to coparent and show our daughter [that] even though we’re not together, doesn’t mean that there’s a lack of love here, and it doesn’t mean that you’re unsafe,” Hayden added.
“I have an incredible relationship with both of them. I’m so grateful for Wlad. Her memoir illustrates the withdrawal experience as at times harrowing, featuring one notably alarming episode in which she faced auditory hallucinations that were so severe she crawled to the bathroom floor to ride out the panic.
We’re very close, and have had a deep friendship, along with a relationship, since I met him when I was 19,” she said.
