Panettiere and Klitschko welcomed their first child, daughter Kaya, in December. In August, the actress spoke with ET about her experiences with postpartum depression. The Nashville star said she thought postpartum was wanting to cause your child harm and didn't realize that it can be a large spectrum and the symptoms aren't always so obvious.

"I definitely struggled with that a little bit," Panettiere said. "I never felt any ill feelings toward my daughter, and never thought, 'I don't want to be a mom' or 'This is terrible' or anything negative. But my personality all around was... I wasn't in a great mode... It's not a good feeling, but women need to know that there are a lot of different kinds, and that they're not alone."

She also opened up on the topic on Live! with Kelly and Michael and art imitated life as her character on Nashville, Juliette Barnes, struggled with postpartum depression.
