Actress, model, and singer Hayden Panettiere revealed she suffered from postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter Kaya.

Hayden is best known for starring as cheerleader Claire Bennett in Heroes and Juliette Barnes in Nashville. She is engaged to the father of her child, heavyweight boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko, 39. Kaya was born on the 9th December 2014.

Shortly after Hayden gave an interview to People magazine where she said "She’s really so sweet, I’m sure that’s the way it’s meant to be, because when they are putting you through the wringer you’re like, ‘You are so lucky you’re cute!"

The 26-year-old filled out a '25 things you don't know about me' questionnaire for Us Weekly, where she revealed a mixture of facts about herself.

In the final answer she decided to be extremely open about how she suffered after the birth of her first child. She put 'I suffered a bit of postpartum depression. You’re not alone or crazy, ladies!'

She also wrote about how her daughter Kaya, who is 9 months, is in the 88th percentile for height, that she was 110 pounds before pregnancy and 153 pounds by the time she gave birth. She also revealed she is one of the few people in the world who has ridden a zebra.
