Pregnant Hayden Panettiere reveals weight gain: my feet are about to snap

Hayden Panettiere, 25, is expecting her first child with her fiance, boxing great Wladimir Klitschko. She’s due in December, according to the costume designer for her excellent show Nashville, on ABC. Mild spoiler for past episodes of Nashville Hayden’s character, country star Juliette Barnes, is pregnant on the show. Writers created a pregnancy storyline to accommodate for Hayden’s real life pregnancy, and it’s a good thing because you can really see that she’s pregnant, even though they try to avoid full length body shots. It’s clear that Hayden has gained some weight. She doesn’t look big or anything, you can just see the difference in her face. In a new interview with Hello!, Hayden reveals that she’s gained 40 pounds. She also said that she plans to lose it before she walks down the aisle. She’s so cute. Here’s more:

On how much weight she gained
I’m 5 feet, 2 inches and I started out at 106 pounds and guess how much I weight now? Around 145 pounds.

‘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.’

‘I’m still quite muscular, so if you’re running around carrying 40 pounds of extra weight, you’re going to build extra muscle.’

She’s not getting married when she’s pregnant
‘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. Not happening.’

She can’t wait to have her baby girl
‘I’m so ready to hold my baby girl – I’m going to be a very hands on mom.

‘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.’

On Wladimir
He’s such a resilient guy. He’s so calm and patient. I have never even heard this man raise a voice.’

Well I don’t blame her for not wanting to get married when she’s bigger. I did the same thing, I waited to get married until my baby was a few months old and I was feeling back to myself. At that point I still wasn’t back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I was close. I gained 50 pounds when I was pregnant, but I’m 5’8″. I still felt huge! I had never been that large in my life, so I can’t imagine that Hayden is very comfortable.

Here’s a photo that Hayden tweeted for Halloween where she’s dressed up as a tiger and wearing a bikini. This is a Mariah Carey level pregnancy move, but it’s Halloween, she’s got great face paint and she used a lot of filters so it’s kind of artistic. Plus she barely tweets. She only tweeted twice in the month of October and once in September. She’s getting ready for that baby. I bet she and Wladimir can’t wait.

Happy Halloweeeeen!!!! pic.twitter.com/gZpGHl5iPk
