Larry Birkhead is father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby · 2007-04-11 10:28
A former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, was identified yesterday as the father of Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith's 7-month-old daughter after DNA test results were released by a Bahamas court.
The revelation brought to an appropriately dramatic climax a tabloid maelstrom that was kicked off by the abrupt death of the buxom widow of a billionaire from an accidental drug overdose in a Florida casino hotel on Feb 8.
Her baby, Dannielynn, could one day be worth a fortune if Smith's estate wins a decade-long battle to inherit from former oil tycoon husband J. Howard Marshall, Sun2surf.com reports.
"I hate to be the one to tell you this but, I told you so," Birkhead, a Los Angeles photographer, said outside the court in Nassau. "Nothing's really determined except parentage and I'm the father."
"I'm going to the toy store," he said.
