Hayden Panettiere Smokes Without Baby, Wladimir Klitschko, Or Engagement Ring


Hayden Panettiere is receiving more treatment for her postpartum depression, but now she is smoking in New York without her baby or her husband Wladimir Klitschko. The actress was also seen without her engagement ring, hinting that things may not be so solid with her fighter husband.

“Hayden Panettiere was spotted in NYC on Monday, July 4, almost two months after she went to rehab to seek treatment a second time for postpartum depression,” reports Us Weekly. “The Nashville actress, 26, who has a daughter, Kaya, 19 months, with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko, was seen sitting on a stoop, smoking a cigarette and reading the book Underboss: Sammy The Bull Gravano’s Story of Life in the Mafia. Panettiere was dressed in a plaid shirt, blue tights and Uggs, but was not wearing her engagement ring.”

The fact that she was appearing solo, smoking, and looking pretty casual has alarmed a lot of Nashville fans. Some have started to speculate on her marriage and whether having a baby so early in her career affected her experience of motherhood.

The 26-year-old actress has been very open about her postpartum depression to her fans, tweeting about her decision to continue treatment and making sure that she is as healthy as she can be.

Hayden Panettiere wrote on her Twitter, “The postpartum depression I have been experiencing has impacted every aspect of my life. Rather than stay stuck due to unhealthy coping mechanisms I have chosen to take time to reflect holistically on my health and life. Wish me luck!”

She had some concerns going public about her mental health, but she understood the value of setting an example for women all over the world that suffer from postpartum depression.

I was always so terrified that people weren’t going to accept me,” the 26-year-old actress said in the interview with Yahoo! Style. “I finally just went, I’m tired of living afraid. I’m tired of living in fear of what people are going to think, so, you know, I’m just going to put it all out there on the table and I’m not going to worry about the judgment.”

The Nashville star also has been posting about her husband, which reduces the likelihood that she took off her engagement to reconsider her marriage to the boxer.

It is possible that Hayden Panettiere was lighting up to celebrate the good news that she and Nashville cast members just received.

Connie Britton, Hayden Panettiere and seven other castmembers have signed new deals to return for the country music drama’s upcoming fifth season,” reports The Hollywood Reporter. “The other returning series regulars include Charles Esten, Sam Palladio, Jonathan Jackson, Clare Bowen, Lennon Stella, Maisy Stella and Chris Carmack. The nine-person ensemble has signed on for 22 new episodes, which will debut on CMT after four seasons on ABC.”

Now when she comes out of the rehab, she won’t be jobless.

Also, being healthier means that she will be able to be there physically and mentally for Wladimir and her baby Kaya. Knowing that her husband as a big fight coming up, Hayden may be gearing up to take over the caretaking responsibility of their baby girl Kaya.

“World heavyweight No 1 Tyson Fury was forced to postpone his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko yesterday on two weeks’ notice on the advice of his physician after spraining an ankle injury, pulling out of his defence of two of world title belts and The Ring Magazine strap,” reports the Telegraph. “The contest was scheduled for the Manchester Arena on July 9, with 14,000 tickets believed to have been sold for the event which was to be aired on BoxNation TV.”

This means that she has to pull herself together to become more of a support for her husband.
