Petite star Hayden Panettiere says she’s struggling with the weight that she’s gained while awaiting the birth of first child with her boxer fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko.
Hayden, 25, and Wladimir, 38, announced that they were expecting back in May, and since then, the actresses weight has ballooned. Of course, that’s exactly what should happen when you’re pregnant! For the tiny gymnast though, the sudden weight gain has proved to be a bit of a struggle.
Actress Hayden Panettiere is expecting!
“I started out at 106 pounds and guess how much I weight now? Around 145 pounds!” Hayden revealed to Hello! magazine. “And the worst part is that my feet are still size five and they’re going, ‘What’s going on with all this weight?’ They’re about to snap from underneath me with the strain.”
She is realistic about the weight gain though, as it’s normal and healthy: “I’m still quite muscular, so if you’re running around carrying 40 pounds of extra weight, you’re going to build extra muscle,” Hayden said.
Pregnant stars show off their bumps
That’s not to say though that she won’t be keen to shift the weight once she and Wladimir (who announced their engagement in October last year) welcome the baby: “I’ll tell you one thing for sure: I am not walking down the aisle 40 pounds heavier than usual in a wedding dress with a huge pregnancy belly stitched in,” she said. “Not happening.”
It sounds like it will all be worth it though as the young star is thrilled about motherhood: “I’m so ready to hold my baby girl — I’m going to be a very hands-on mom,” she said, adding “I’m thrilled that I am having a girl first because I feel like I know a lot about raising a strong woman. I feel very empowered myself and I think my daughter will, too.”
