Reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith’s 17-year-old daughter Dannielynn Birkhead has managed to live a relatively normal life with her dad Larry Birkhead.
With the exception of the Kentucky Derby family tradition, the majority of Dannielynn’s life has been off-camera. Anna lived for the camera and took Dannielynn everywhere before her untimely death in 2007. Anna’s death sparked a wild custody court case to prove who was Dannielynn’s father.
Anna Nicole said Dannielynn’s father was Howard K. Stern
Anna originally said that boyfriend Howard K. Stern was Dannielynn’s father when she was born on Sept. 7, 2006, in Nassau, Bahamas. In fact, Dannielynn’s original last name was Stern.
But after Anna died from an accidental overdose, Larry sought custody of 5-month-old Dannielynn. Howard and Larry entered a messy custody battle that played out in court, but also in the public eye. Ultimately, a DNA test proved...

Reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter Dannielynn Birkhead recently turned 17 and her father Larry wished her a happy birthday through throwback photos of when she was a baby. But he didn’t have newborn photos alongside Dannielynn because he only gained custody of her after Anna died.
Dannielynn was five months old when Anna suddenly died in a Florida hotel. Custody of who would raise the baby came into question because Anna originally said that boyfriend Howard K. Stern was Dannielynn’s father. But Larry insisted he was Dannielynn’s father and a wild court case ensued. Anna and Larry had a romantic fling that lasted for several months. She broke off the relationship but was pregnant.
After several weeks, a DNA test proved that Larry was the father. At that point, Dannielynn was seven months old.

Larry Birkhead, the ex-partner of the late Anna Nicole Smith, has spoken out against the new Netflix documentary about the late model and actress, which started streaming Tuesday, May 16. Speaking to Et Online, Birkhead said he refused to participate in the documentary for several reasons, the main one being to protect the couple’s daughter Dannielynn from being part of a “poorly reviewed cesspool of a project about her mother.” “We declined to participate as I did not want my daughter in an overwhelmingly poorly reviewed cesspool of a project about her Mother, where some people were allowed to invent things and rewrite history,” the photographer said. He added, “I am looking forward to a true definitive Anna Nicole project where her truth can be heard from her own perspective and by those that truly knew her the best and not just another ‘wash, rinse and repeat’ Anna Nicole project.
