Hayden Panettiere Shares Rare Update on Daughter Kaya Living in Europe With Her Ex

The ‘Scream VI’ actress praised her daughter, Kaya, for being ‘a genius’ in a new interview while revealing that the 9-year-old knows five languages.

“English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, and she’s now getting on with her French … she’s a genius!” Hayden gushed during an interview with PEOPLE, which was published on Wednesday, February 7. Less than a year after she discussed her past opioid addiction, Hayden’s younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, died in February 2023 from aortic valve complications, which resulted from an enlarged heart. During her Good Morning America appearance in March 2023, co-host Michael Strahan offered her his condolences, to which she responded, “He’s right here with me,” while fighting back tears.
