Hayden Panettiere Baby Name: Panettiere Now A Mom After Birth Of Baby Kaya

Hayden Panettiere is now a mother. The "Nashville" actress gave birth to her daughter named Kaya Evdokia Klitschko on Dec. 9, once and for all putting an end to the speculation about the size of her baby bump and whether or not she was proud of it.

News that Panettiere has given birth to her first child with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko soon set social media websites alight, and the name of her daughter was widely reported. The announcement of Kaya's birth was only made on Dec. 13, four days after she was born.

In the announcement of their daughter's birth, Panettiere and Klitschko said she weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces and measured 20 inches. They described how they were overjoyed at her birth, saying they "were over the moon and madly in love."

Panettiere currently stars in the TV series "Nashville" where her pregnancy has been written in the script, with high drama surrounding it. In real life, however, the star had an uneventful pregnancy. Earlier this year, she let slip that she was expecting a girl. She said then she was thrilled to be having a girl first as she "felt she knew a lot about raising a strong woman" and she "felt very empowered."

The arrival of her daughter means that the petite actress could walk down the aisle sometime soon. She previously stated in an interview with Hello Magazine that she had no plans to get married pregnant or toting around the 40-odd pounds of baby weight that she had gained during her pregnancy.
