Hayden Panettiere is getting candid about her relationships with her family.
The actress got her start in Hollywood at a young age, starring on One Life to Live from 1994 to 1997.
Hayden’s only sibling, Jansen Panettiere, joined the family business in the early 2000s.
The brother-sister duo later acted together in 2004’s Tiger Cruise and 2005’s Racing Stripes.
As Hayden’s career continued to sky-rocket — including leading roles on Heroes and Nashville and in the Scream franchise — her family life also made headlines. In 2008, Hayden’s parents turned heads when news broke that her father, Skip Panettiere, allegedly struck his then-wife, Lesley Vogel.
Skip, who shares both Hayden and Jansen with Vogel, pleaded no contest after being charged with misdemeanor spousal battery. He was given two-years’ probation, had to enroll in a domestic violence treatment program and was ordered to pay $400 to the California’s domestic violence fund.
Vogel later filed for divorce in 2012.
Hayden began a family of her own in 2014 when she and then-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko welcomed daughter Kaya. The pair split four years later.
The Bring It On: All or Nothing star’s family once again was in the news in February 2023 when multiple outlets reported that her younger brother, Jansen, died at age 28.
