'The idea that I'm a person who would just easily throw out my child'
The"Heroes" star and Ukrainian boxer welcomed their daughter in 2014, but they split in 2018, after Panettiere had started seeking treatment for both postpartum depression and alcohol abuse. At the time, the decision was made that Kaya would live with her father in Ukraine, an arrangement that is apparently still in effect today -- though the child is not in the country amid its war with Russia.
"Signing those papers giving him full custody was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever had to do in my life.""In fact I didn't even know it was happening until she was already over there. I was gonna go work on myself and I was gonna get better and when I got better, things could change and she could come to me and I could have my time with her, but that didn't happen," she claimed.
TooFab has reached out to Wladimir Klitschko, who is currently on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine, for comment.
