Hayden Panettiere ‘Hasn’t Had Much Time’ With Her Daughter Kaya

Hayden Panettiere reportedly hasn’t had much time with their four-year-old daughter Kaya as she is being raised more than 6,000 miles away in her ex-fiancee’s native Ukraine, according to US Weekly.

Hayden confirmed last month that she’s working on a positive co-parenting relationship with her ex despite the distance. ‘We’re still respectful of each other, and we still have that friendship with each other,’ she said during the Sharkwater Extinction premiere in January.

‘It’s not a situation that you find yourself in all that often, so it’s a new one. But I think we’ve done a really good job.’

As far as raising their child she said they are looking for balance. ‘We’re trying to do the book smarts and the street smart,’ she said. ‘So, you know, trial and error as a parent. … We’re all going to make mistakes.’ She also noted that her little girl is earning frequent flier miles as she travels the world with her parents.

‘We go on nice long vacations that result in an email from her school saying, “Your kid has been gone too long.” Like, she’s 4, so let’s not make too big a deal,’ Hayden said. ‘She speaks multiple languages.’ 

Hayden has been spotted on the arm of actor Brian Hickerson, 28, since last summer when she memorably walked through a parking lot barefoot, sparking questions of her dangerous new romance.

The couple were also involved in a bit of legal trouble in October when a police report stated that they had been drinking before authorities arrived to handle ‘an assault and battery call’ between Brian and his father.

The 29-year-old actress ‘comes and goes’ to Europe during the challenging time, but has settled in Los Angeles following the end of her relationship to former boxer Waldimir Klitschko. ‘She really hasn’t had much time with her daughter,’ a source revealed. ‘She knows the child being with her is not best for [Kaya right now]. It’s a sad situation.’

Hayden’s mom Lesley Vogel said in 2018 that her daughter does visit Kaya in Europe while Wlad ‘travels a great deal’ to keep some normalcy for their little girl. ‘It’s heartbreaking and challenging,’ an insider said. ‘They didn’t spend the holidays together. It’s disturbing, and she’ll have to figure out how to manage this. It’s not an easy scenario.’
