Hayden Panettiere met professional boxer Wladimir Klitschko in 2009 and the two quickly became close. But as with most on-and-off relationships, the two officially parted ways in 2018. However, the pair couldn’t make a clean break because they share a daughter Kaya, who was born in December 2014. According to People, after the couple ended their engagement, Klitschko gained primary custody of the toddler and the two now live in his native Ukraine. Panettiere must therefore travel 6,000 miles to eastern Europe if she wants to see her only child. That’s one hefty airfare tab!
However, this distance might actually be best for everyone as Panettiere’s boyfriend, aspiring actor Brian Hickerson, was recently arrested for domestic violence — his second arrest in nine months. “[Panettiere’s] life is in flux with her daughter living away, and she has other issues weighing on her mind,” one source claimed to People. “Hayden is a wonderful and talented girl who was so happy with her family,” another insider added. “I hope she can wade through whatever has gone wrong and get her life back together.” Despite any recent turmoil, Panettiere wrote that she’s “always good” after a fan asked how she was doing on Twitter.
