Hayden Panettiere has been hit with claims that she's absent from her daughter's life,
with sources stating that she lives thousands of miles away from her child.
But what's the truth?
Here's everything you need to know about the celeb's strange situation.
In February 2019, Us Weekly reported that, since ending her relationship with Wladimir
Klitschko in 2018, Hayden Panettiere hasn't been spending a lot of time with their daughter,
Kaya.
An insider told the magazine,
"She knows the child being with her is not best for [Kaya right now].
It's a sad situation."
So, where exactly is Kaya and why isn't Panettiere living with her?
After her CMT show Nashville was canceled, Panettiere moved from Tennessee to Los Angeles.
Her mom told Radar Online,
"She's been working for many years on that show.
She needs to take a little bit of a break and make some decisions on her own of what
she wants to do.
So I think she is in a very good place."
According to an E! News source,
"At this point, Hayden is single and she and Wladimir are co-parents to Kaya.
Kaya is primarily with her dad and his family in Europe and Florida.
They also spend time together as a family with Hayden."
An insider told Us Weekly that the living situation works for Hayden Panettiere's daughter,
but it has been tough on the TV actress.
Panettiere frequently travels between Los Angeles and Wladimir Klitschko's native Ukraine
where their daughter lives.
According to the magazine, Panettiere travels between the two countries for some quality
time with her little one.
But is she really getting as much time with her daughter as she'd like?
The gossip publication added that the actress was stuck in a difficult situation.
According to one source,
"It's heartbreaking and challenging.
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."
When a child is left in the middle of a couple's breakup, it can lead to bitter custody battles
and tons of drama.
Since Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko split in 2018, the one-time couple has mostly
refrained from mudslinging and dragging their issues into the harsh Hollywood spotlight.
In fact, they seem to get along just fine, well, at least as fine as things can possibly
get between exes.
Panettiere told Us Weekly,
"We're still respectful of each other, and we still have that friendship with each other…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."
"Oh, it is so on."
Part of the reason they've been able to make things work is that they're on the same page.
The Nashville starlet said of their parenting style,
"We're trying to do the book smarts and the street smart.
So, you know, trial and error as a parent...We're all going to make mistakes."
Even with Hayden Panettiere living in the United States and her child reportedly living
with her ex-fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, the actress is far from being an absentee parent.
She and Klitschko are a team, and they "share parenting duties," as reported by People.
Though Panettiere and Klitschko are no longer linked romantically, we have to give them
props for how they've managed to maintain a friendly relationship.
Even after their 2018 breakup, they still traveled together as a family.
Panettiere's mom confirmed to Radar Online that the actress was soon in Greece with Wlad
and her daughter after their split.
Many suspected these amicable exes would rekindle their relationship, with one source telling
People magazine in August 2018,
"They respect each other and are still very attracted [to each other].
Don't rule this romance out."
That would indeed be an interesting development.
But as of right now, these two are just amicable exes who are turning out to be pros at long-distance
co-parenting.
