Ex Wlad Says He’s Paying Her Tax Debt To Protect Estate
Published
Hayden Panettiere’s ex, Wlad Klitschko, says he’s putting up $30K of his own money to cover the late actress’s tax bill … to avoid her estate being hit with a ton of interest and penalties … TMZ has learned.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Wlad, who shares a daughter named Kaya with Hayden, said he believes her 2025 individual state and federal income tax returns are currently due on October 15.
Wlad said Hayden owes approximately $30K for the year, which he says he will pay with his own money. He said he will ask to be reimbursed by the estate once it is set up.
Hayden’s ex is using the issue as another reason to sign off on him being named guardian of Kaya … to allow him to represent her in the estate … where she is the sole beneficiary.
As TMZ first reported, Wlad also fears Hayden’s property is at risk of being stolen or sold off … claiming a non-relative sold off her jewelry at a pawn shop … but he’s struggling to get law enforcement to investigate what items were sold without officially being appointed Kaya’s rep.
