The [_Nashville_](http://people.com/tag/nashville) star opened up [to _Parade_ magazine](http://parade.com/530873/alison-abbey/sunday-with-hayden-panettiere/) about how her life has changed since becoming mom to daughter [Kaya Evdokia](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2014/12/13/hayden-panettiere-welcomes-daughter-kaya-evdokia/), who recently turned 2 years old. “When I first arrived, I remember struggling with the concept of making a place so foreign to me feel like home. I was 22, [not a mom \[yet\]](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2014/08/25/emmys-hayden-panettiere-pregnant-expecting-daughter/) and had no one to answer to but myself,” Panettiere, who plays Juliette Barnes [on the show](http://people.com/tv/nashville-cmt-trailer-two-hour-premiere-airing-early/), said of when she first moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to begin filming in 2012. “Then I [went through a pregnancy](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2014/06/05/hayden-panettiere-pregnant-expecting-first-child-wladimir-klitschko/) and I found out who my true friends were — the ones that were going to stick around and support me,” adds the actress, 27\. “I’ll just say the outcome was slim pickins!” “Now \[that\] I’m the mother of a 2-year-old, I’ve found my pack of solid, loyal, lifelong friends here and am settled into a beautiful routine,” continues Panettiere, who [has been open](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/09/28/hayden-panettiere-postpartum-depression-daughter-kaya-baptism/) about her past struggles with [postpartum depression](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/10/13/hayden-panettiere-postpartum-depression-enters-treatment/) and finding happiness with Kaya’s dad: Ukranian boxer [Wladimir Klitschko](http://people.com/celebrity/hayden-panettiere-wladimir-klitschko-together-very-loving-miami-art-basel/). “Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a blast,” Panettiere says. “My life and who I am have simply evolved in a beautiful way. So actually Nashville feels like a first home to me! The _Heroes_ alum addressed the concept of recording music again, which was something she did frequently in the 2000s and has dabbled in for _Nashville_ as well. “It has, but juggling my workload and being a mom right now is plenty,” she says of whether the show has inspired her to record independently again. “I’ve [figured out my own limits](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2016/03/07/hayden-panettiere-post-partum-depression/) over the years, and music is a bridge that I might want to cross when I can truly dedicate myself to it.” > [](https://twitter.com/haydenpanettier/status/753411717846016000) Panettiere admits that nothing about balancing work and motherhood is run-of-the-mill, noting that her most important job is just making sure [her daughter](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2014/12/23/hayden-panettiere-wladimir-klitschko-daughter-kaya-evdokia-first-photo/) is safe. “I can’t say that anything is typical or ‘the norm’ about any day of the week now that I’m the mom of a 2-year-old,” she explains. “She gets her hands in just about everything, and my biggest job at the moment is keeping her alive!” The first hour of _Nashville_‘s season 5 premiere airs on CMT Thursday at 9 p.m. EST, and picks up on Jan. 5 at the same time. _This_ [_article_](http://people.com/babies/hayden-panettiere-motherhood-life-evolving-parade-magazine/) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://people.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4599581/hayden-panettiere-motherhood-life/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4599581/hayden-panettiere-motherhood-life/"},"headline":"Hayden Panettiere’s Life Since Becoming a Mom Has ‘Evolved in a Beautiful Way’","datePublished":"2016-12-13T18:38:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:04:06.460Z","description":"'I've figured out my own limits'","url":"https://time.com/4599581/hayden-panettiere-motherhood-life/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc01b8d9f21455d9e/6988b2c70b72e3980b6ec0a3/hayden-panettiere-motherhood-life.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jen Juneau / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc01b8d9f21455d9e/6988b2c70b72e3980b6ec0a3/hayden-panettiere-motherhood-life.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The 21st Annual Critics' Choice Awards - Arrivals","caption":"The 21st Annual Critics' Choice Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"C Flanigan—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4599581/hayden-panettiere-motherhood-life/","name":"Hayden Panettiere’s Life Since Becoming a Mom Has ‘Evolved in a Beautiful Way’"}}]}] ```
