Hayden Panettiere's ex-fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, is taking his "urgent" concerns over the "Nashville" actress' estate to court.
Klitschko, a former boxer and heavyweight champion whose engagement to Panettiere ended in 2018, filed a request for guardianship of their daughter Kaya Klitschko's estate on Sept. 24, according to Los Angeles County Superior Court documents obtained by USA TODAY.
In the filings, Wladimir Klitschko's lawyers shared his concerns over Panettiere's probate estate, of which 11-year-old Kaya is the sole heir.
He "is informed and believes that non-family members previously connected to Hayden have accessed and destroyed Hayden's emails" and was told that "certain items of personal property belonging to Hayden, including jewelry,
have disappeared or remain unaccounted for," according to one filing. Some of these items are being held by law enforcement amid the ongoing investigation into the circumstances of the 36-year-old's Aug. 16 death, which was ruled an accident.
TMZ first reported the news. USA TODAY has reached out to Klitschko's attorneys for comment.
Panettiere and Klitschko met in 2009, when the actress was 19, and the boxer was 32. She revealed their engagement on "Live with Kelly and Michael" in October 2013, and the following year they welcomed Kaya, born in December 2014, while Panettiere was on "Nashville."
The on-and-off couple had split for good by August 2018, when Klitschko was granted full custody of their daughter. Panettiere's battle with postpartum depression and addiction influenced her decision to relinquish custody of Kaya, which she previously described as the "hardest thing I could do."
