Nashville star Hayden Panettiere, who is mum to 10-month-old daughter Kaya with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko, has revealed her battle with postnatal depression.
The 26-year-old made the admission this week, during a game of ’25 Things You Don’t Know About Me’ with Us Weekly.
“I suffered a bit of postpartum depression. You’re not alone or crazy ladies!” she said.
She added that she was helped through the period by her best friend, who also happened to welcome a baby at the same time. “Without planning it, my best friend and I had babies six months apart. Dream come true,” said the star.
Making her first post-birth appearance, on Good Morning America, Hayden previously said that Kaya had completely changed her life.
She said: “You just re-prioritise…You hear that they’re healthy, and you just don’t care about yourself anymore. It’s the most out-of-body experience, where you go, ‘I will completely lay myself on the line for my child. Without even a hesitation.’”
It’s always positive to see celebrities sharing their personal ordeals and stories. We’re sure that many women will take comfort from Hayden’s words.
