Kaya is only 11 years old and has just lost her mother. 🕊️
Hayden Panettiere died on Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina, at the age of 36.
Wladimir Klitschko, the Ukrainian former boxer who was her partner for nearly a decade, was quick to break his silence.
They met in 2009, got engaged in 2013, and separated in 2018, but they never stopped sharing what mattered most: raising Kaya, the daughter they had together.
“I will always speak to our daughter Kaya about her mother with respect and make sure she remembers the person she was”, Klitschko wrote on Instagram, describing Hayden as “an important part” of his life. 💔
In July, the actress herself had spoken about the silent pact they maintained to never speak badly of each other in front of their daughter.
Today, that promise became a father’s final gift so that his little girl never forgets who her mom was. 🕊️
