Hayden Panettiere experienced postpartum depression so serious that she had to leave "Nashville" season 4 to get treatment. Looks like her husband-to-be Wladimir Klitschko had to step up to the plate to care for his baby daughter as well as the financials around the house.
According to New York Daily News, "Panettiere left "Nashville" to check into the treatment center in October - just 10 months after giving birth to her first child, daughter Kaya."
It was a brave thing for Hayden to do - to prioritize her health over her work and baby. But if the mother isn't well, the baby also won't do very well!
In fact, Hayden Panettiere may be feel more supported by her "Nashville" cast than her real family members Wladimir Klitschko and her baby. The fact that one of the "Nashville" cast members reported to the public that Hayden Panettiere is doing "awesome" means that they are keeping in touch with her more often.
According to Us Weekly, Hayden Panettiere seems to be well on the road to recover from her postpartum depression. When the magazine asked Riley Smith about how she is doing, he replied, "Good. I texted her, and wished her well. She texted me right back and said, 'I'm awesome, thanks.' So hopefully she will be back on the set soon."
But no doubt that Wladimir Klitschko is doing some amazing work behind the scenes.
In fact, Hayden Panettiere still may be feeling "alone" despite all the fame that she got from her work in "Nashville" and her love from her baby daddy. While she may be in the process of healing, it looks like it's not going fast enough for the actress.
According to National Inquirer, an industry insider said, "In the past, women, particularly in Hollywood, could never admit to battling any kind of depression. But now stars like Hayden are opening up about postpartum depression, and helping other women feel less alone by talking about their own fight to get healthy again!"
Hayden Panettiere's real life has not been that much smoother than that of her "Nashville" character Juliette Barnes. Suffering from postpartum depression, Hayden reached out towards other Hollywood women, who still are remaining mum on this issue.
