Who has custody of Kaya Evdokia Klitschko?
According to most of Kaya Evdokia Klitschko’s profiles online, her father Wladimir has full custody at the moment.
Why did Hayden Panettiere give up her daughter?
In an interview with Jada Pinkett Smith on her show Red Table Talk, Panettiere revealed that she had a drug and alcohol problem and was battling post-partum depression. She revealed she started abusing drugs aged 15, but her addiction worsened after Kaya's birth.
In order to ensure Evdokia's well-being and provide her with stability, she in 2018 decided to send her daughter to live with her father in Ukraine as she tried to work on and better herself. In her mind, she initially thought that Kaya would be splitting her time between both of her parents when she got better. But that never happened.
She claimed in the interview that the upsetting decision to send her daughter to Ukraine was never a choice or discussion. Apparently, this was a decision made by Hayden Panettiere’s baby father.
Where is Kaya Evdokia Klitschko?
She lives with her father in Ukraine. After the country’s invasion by Russia, Hayden took to her Instagram to reveal that her daughter was safe and no longer in Ukraine. She, however, never specified where her daughter was currently residing.
Kaya Evdokia Klitschko is the daughter of Hayden Panettiere and her ex-fiance Wladimir Klitschko. Although she hoped to get her custody after working on herself, unfortunately, that never happened. She remains committed and open to co-parenting her and being in her daughter’s life.
