It turns out, Kaya loves to jump competitively on horses – and she’s not so interested in acting or singing.

“I get asked all the time, ‘If she wanted to be a singer or actor, what would you say?’” Hayden said, adding, “I look at her, that’s not her thing. She’s not into performing. She’s all into horses.”

The actress reflected, “She’s so me. But she’s also a little bit more reserved. She’s very independent, she loves to do her own thing, loves to be normal.”

Hayden recognizes a desire in Kaya to simply be “treated like everyone else.” She told the outlet that she finds that “soothing.”

Hayden recently defended her costar Melissa Barrera following her Scream firing.
