Hayden Panettiere opened up about the loss of her younger brother Jansen Panettiere, who passed away 18 months ago. Jansen's death was a devastating blow to the Panettiere family, with his parents Lesley Vogul and Skip Panettiere revealing that he died of cardiomegaly and aortic valve complications. The loss of her only sibling had a deep impact on Hayden, both emotionally and physically.
In a recent interview, the 35-year-old actress shared how she will never be able to get over her brother's death. She described Jansen as her "only sibling" and said that it was her job to protect him. Losing him felt like losing half of her soul. Hayden also revealed that the loss had a devastating effect on her health, leading to her developing agoraphobia.
She explained that her stress levels and cortisol levels were through the roof as she went through the process of grieving. This, coupled with seeing photos of herself leaving Jansen's funeral, led to her gaining weight and not feeling confident enough to leave her home. It became a destructive cycle of wanting to go out but not feeling good enough to do so.
In the 18 months since her brother's passing, Hayden has started working with a personal trainer who has helped her release her stress by going for long walks and talking about her pain. She has also gained a new perspective on life, realizing that when something as catastrophic as this happens, it teaches you to pick your battles and not let the little things bother you.
Jansen was found dead by some friends in his Nyack home, lying on his back in the living room. Although he was known as the brother of a famous actress, Jansen had his own path in the entertainment industry, with roles in popular shows like The Walking Dead and The Xs.
After his death, his family released an emotional statement praising his charisma, creative spirit, and joy for life. They also thanked everyone for their love and support during this difficult time and asked for privacy as they mourned the loss of their beloved son.
Hayden's heartbreaking confession about her brother's passing serves as a reminder to cherish our loved ones and to not let the little things in life get to us. Jansen will always hold a special place in their hearts, and his memory will live on forever.
