During a Monday appearance on Good Morning America, Nashville star Hayden Panettiere opened up about the “out of body experience” of motherhood.
“As long as your kids are healthy and happy and all good, I mean, it’s fabulous,” she gushed of being mom to 4-month-old daughter Kaya. “It’s fabulous!”
Hayden went on to say that motherhood has “absolutely” changed her.
“You just re-prioritize… and you hear that they’re healthy and you don’t care about yourself anymore,” the actress, 25, said. “I mean, it’s the most out of body experience where you go, ‘I will completely lay myself on the line for my child,’ without even a hesitation.”
The actress-singer dished about motherhood on-screen as well.
“She’s trying to find herself,” she said of her Nashville character. “As you know, as a mother, you feel like you lose yourself for a second—which you should—and you’re giving yourself and dedicating yourself to another person, but she is terrified that that is going to disappear, that all the work she’s done throughout the years. That’s her identity!”
As for becoming a country music artist herself, Hayden said she would “love to.”
“My only hesitation was that people would not be able to differentiate between Juliette Barnes and myself,” she said of her character. “I feel like I want to dedicate myself to the role that I’m doing. So maybe down the road! Maybe down the road! Maybe down the road! But I’ve got to find myself. I’ve gotta find that route and what I want to be and tell the story, because that’s the greatest thing about country music is that it just has a through line of honesty. It’s telling a story no matter what you’re doing, even if you’re telling a story about partying, you know? It’s honest!”
Congratulations are in order for Karen O and Barnaby Clay.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman, 36, and her husband are expecting their first child. In a surprise announcement on Saturday (April 18) at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Cleveland, the singer revealed her growing baby bump in a black mini maternity dress.
The pregnant singer took to the stage and performed in honor of the late Lou Reed.
Congratulations to the first-time parents-to-be!

Actor Sean Penn is seen sharing his snow cone with 3-year-old Jackson at the generationOn West Coast Block Party in Los Angeles, Calif. on Saturday (April 18). The adorable preschooler enjoyed the frozen treat while sitting on mama Charlize Theron‘s knee.
Theron, 39, spoke at the event to honor her friend Ari Emanuel.
Last week, we spotted the Monster actress and her son after karate class.
The single mom recently opened up about the possibility of marrying her “hot” beau.
“The marriage thing is always so strange to me. I love the possibility of anything, but I’m really enjoying myself and the everyday moment and how that coincides with my son and my life and my friends,” she shared.
She went on to gush about her love life.
“I’m a very, very, very lucky girl. Very lucky. He’s hot. He is hot,” she gushed of Penn. “How do you say that in an interview? You’re a 40-year-old woman sounding like a 16-year-old. There’s something beautiful about that, but you lack the articulation of really saying what it’s like when somebody walks into your life and makes you see something that you really never thought you’d be able to see. If somebody had said to me, ‘This is what it will be,’ I would’ve said, ‘F–k off.’ As you can see, it makes me smile.”
