Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko Enjoy Beach Time During Rare Public Outing

Family time! Hayden Panettiere was spotted enjoying a trip to Barbados with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko and their daughter, Kaya, on Thursday, February 15. 

The notoriously private pair, who started dating in 2009, secretly got engaged in 2013. Since shutting down split rumors in 2016 after Panettiere was spotted without her engagement ring, the duo rarely step out together in public.

“Missing rings don’t mean the end of relationships,” she captioned a sweet black-and-white selfie of her family of three at the time. “Blessed to be with my beautiful family.”

Self-Care 

The 28-year-old actress has been open about her struggles with postpartum depression. "It takes you a while. You feel off. You don't feel like yourself," Panettiere told GMA’s Lara Spencer in January 2017 after completing a stint in rehab. ”But, you know, women are so resilient, and that's the incredible thing about them. I think I'm all the stronger for it. I think I'm a better mom because of it. Because you never take that connection for granted."

Proud Mama

“I can’t say that anything is typical or ‘the norm’ about any day of the week now that I’m the mom of a 2-year-old,” Panettiere told Parade in December 2016. “She gets her hands in just about everything, and my biggest job at the moment is keeping her alive!”
