She also went on in the same online post, titled 25 Things You Don't Know About Me, to divulge how much weight she gained during her pregnancy.

'I was 110 pounds before pregnancy and 153 pounds by the time I gave birth!' the 5ft0in actress stated.

Meanwhile, Hayden appeared on Live With Kelly And Michael on Monday where she discussed her desire for more children following the birth of her daughter in Hawaii in December of 2014.

Hayden is engaged to heavyweight boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko, 39. 

'I always said four,' she told the breakfast TV hosts, 'but I'm not going to speak too soon. One at a time.'

'I mean, I would love it if Wlad figured out a way to get pregnant and he could have the baby,' the Heroes alum added humorously.

'We would be going right now, no problem.'

Kelly and Michael then pressed, asking whether the world heavyweight champion boxer was on board with her fantastical wish. 

'Absolutely. Absolutely,' she answered. 'I asked him this question... He's going to be like, "I can't believe you told them!" 

'But when I was pregnant, he did this thing where he would suck in his stomach and then I would put my stomach to his so that he could feel when she was moving - almost like she was in his stomach.

'He wanted to feel what it was like to have a baby as close to him as it was to me.'
