Just this year, Hayden published her memoir, in which she shared what she had been through over the course of her life, from struggling with addiction and postpartum depression to surviving sexual harassment and assault, domestic violence, exploitation as a child star, a traumatic childbirth, the painful separation from her daughter, and the devastating loss of her younger brother, Jansen.
Her brother died due to a heart condition in 2023 at the age of 28.
