While Hayden hasn’t spoken about her fitness regimen in a few years, she has talked about how she grew up playing lots of sports, and back in 2014, she shared with Shape that she was into hiking, swimming, Bikram yoga, and Pilates.
But these days, Hayden’s way more focused on talking about the importance of mental health, and she has been incredibly outspoken about her passion for bringing more awareness to the topic. Hayden has even talked openly about her own struggles that she went through as a young star in Hollywood during a recent episode of Jada Pinkett-Smith’s Red Table Talk.
During the show, Hayden shed light on her postpartum depression and her addiction to alcohol and opioids, which at the time, led to many misconceptions about how her daughter ended up in Ukraine with her ex, Wladimir Klitschko.
