Hayden Panettiere Promises Baby Kaya , Wladimir Klitschko To Be Stronger! PPD Affecting Job?

"Nashville" star Hayden Panettiere openly admitted to having postpartum depression after giving birth to baby Kaya with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko. 

Now that she's back on set, will her PPD cause further problems with the show?

Determined to become a better mother to her daughter, the 26-year-old actress checked herself into rehab in October, as reported by Hollywood Life. 

She had to temporarily leave her role in the series to focus on getting herself better for her 13-month-old daughter.

Although she had to leave the show for a couple of weeks to focus on her health and her baby, she's reportedly getting back to the spotlight once again.

She made her first major public appearance when she showed up at the Critics' Choice Awards in LA last month for the first time since she admitted to being depressed after giving birth to Kaya. 

Her stint at the facility reportedly made her realize that she didn't have to let all the negative comments affect her.

"Allowing that veil to come down - it's like a weight off my shoulders," Women's Daily quoted the TV star as saying. "I'm 26 years old. I'm a mum. I don't need to be afraid of what people are going to think." 

Hayden Panettiere also expressed her gratitude, not just to her baby Kaya and fiancé Wladimir Klitschko for supporting her and waiting patiently for her to get better, she also shared that she received a lot of support after the news broke out.

"I've gotten an incredible amount of support and I was actually really surprised 'cause I feel like I grew up in this industry that, in my mind, was very judgmental," she said.

Her co-stars also took to social media to show their happiness at having her back as pop diva Juliette Barnes to the ABC Show.

She's expected to appear on the series again in April, a month after "Nashville" is expected to return to TV.
