Hayden Panettiere seems to be slowly dealing with her post-partum depression as Vladimir Klitschko's partner is reportedly ready to come back to the "Nashville" set soon.

Actor Riley Smith talked to Us Weekly and revealed that he checked up on Hayden Panettiere as she sought professional help.

"Good," he said. "I texted her, and wished her well. She texted me right back and said, 'I'm awesome, thanks.' So hopefully she will be back on the set soon."

Us Weekly broke the news about Hayden Panettiere's post-partum depression, which was later confirmed by a rep for the "Nashville" actress.

Her rep said in a statement, published on Radar Online, "Hayden Panettiere is voluntarily seeking professional help at a treatment center as she is currently battling postpartum depression. She asks that the media respect her privacy during this time."

The "Nashville" star previously talked about her post-partum depression during a guesting at "Live! With Kelly and Michael."

"It's something a lot of women experience," she said. "When [you're told] about postpartum depression you think it's 'I feel negative feelings towards my child, I want to injure or hurt my child.' I've never, ever had those feelings."

She went on to add, "Some women do. But you don't realize how broad of a spectrum you can really experience that on. It's something that needs to be talked about. Women need to know that they're not alone, and that it does heal."

On Oct. 10, Hayden Panettiere tweeted, "Feeling like I'm #finally coming back in to my own body!mother #daughter #blessing #wellworthit @bonesthenskin."

Three days ago, Hayden Panettiere also shared a photo on Instagram where she appeared to be having the giggles. The "Nashville" star wrote, "Tomorrow is my #birthday And i think im gonna lose my mind."

Hayden Panettiere gave birth to baby Kaya with her partner Wladimir Klitschko in December last year, and their Instagram posts didn't reveal anything about the struggles she's going through from the post-partum depression.
