In July 2022, Hayden Panettiere gave an update on her relationship with Kaya Klitschko, opening up about where they stand today while reflecting on the heartbreaking decision for her daughter to move thousands of miles away. “It was the hardest thing I could do. But the best thing for my daughter was to make sure she was okay, take care of myself and make sure I could be a good mom to her. And sometimes that means letting go,” she confessed in a candid interview with People. The star revealed she’d just spent some time with her not-so-little girl (she admitted Kaya was set to be taller than her!) and noted, “She has a beautiful life … She’s just an amazing child. She’s smart and she’s funny and for whatever reason, she still loves me.”

Panettiere’s update came five months after she offered an insight into Kaya’s well-being after fans shared their concern for her safety after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. After a fan asked on Instagram if Kaya was okay, Panettiere noted that Kaya was “safe and not in Ukraine,” but didn’t share details on where her daughter was or who was taking care of her. As for her ex, Wladimir Klitschko, he shared a defiant message on social media in which he vowed to stay in the country and fight the Russian invaders.
