DNA tests show Anna Nicole Smith ’s former boyfriend Larry Birkhead is the father of her baby, and he emerged from a court hearing Tuesday to proclaim that his daughter would soon be home.
Birkhead jubilantly announced the DNA results after the closed hearing, and then hugged his rival, Howard K. Stern. The reality TV star’s lawyer-turned-companion has been caring for baby Dannielynn since Smith’s sudden death in February.
Stern said he would not fight for custody.
“I’m obviously very disappointed but my feelings toward Dannielynn have not changed,” Stern said, adding Birkhead can come to his Bahamas home to visit Dannielynn at any time.
A joyous Birkhead said, “My baby’s going to be coming home pretty soon.”
Even Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur, who had also sought custody, seemed appeased by the DNA results. “I’m happy that Dannielynn will know who her real father is,” she said outside court.
An expert in genetic evidence said DNA analysis proved Birkhead is Dannielynn’s father. Dr. Michael Baird, who analyzed the results of a March 21 DNA test, announced the results outside court. “Essentially, he’s the biological father,” Baird said.
Birkhead, a Los Angeles photographer, began seeking custody before Smith collapsed and died in a Florida hotel Feb. 8.
The baby, whose full name is Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, could inherit millions from the estate of Smith’s late husband, J. Howard Marshall II. The former model had been fighting the Texas oil tycoon’s family over his estimated $500 million fortune since his death in 1995.
Truly, I am happy for Birkhead… he obviously loves Dannilynn very much. Hopefully the circus for this poor little girl is over.

I said all along Larry is the father. I have also said that it is unethical for an Attorney to contiue to be an attorney for his client when he now has a relationship with his client beyond that of a client and attorney only. The medication was in his name but says it was for Anna. He is an attorney and ignorance of the law is no excuse and he knows that it is illegal for anyone to take medication that is perscribed for another person. I believe he motivated Anna to move to the Bhama’s and knew what he was planning to do. The easiest person to murder is someone who has and is having a drug problem. Because people will always see it as “an overdose.” My question, was both of them self inflicted overdose or was it done by Stern? A man who $500 million reasons who knew all Anna’s personal demons which made it easy to get away with this. I think Larry should walk in take his daughter, she will adjust just fine. Children bounce back quick and especially at this age. Go get your daughter Larry! I wouldn’t trust that possible murder as far as I could throw him. Get that baby out of there. Also go get yourself another attorney to help you on the custody issue. Distance yourself from this man he is up to no go and has been the whole time. He has always known I believe that you were her father and still put you through this. Go get your daughter.
I am sorry to say this but I believe that Anna wanted Howard to raise that baby and not Birkhead And I think it should stay like that , I also believe that the money is what is pushing Birkhead . Lets face it he would never have to work again, And as far as her mother goes Anna Hated Her why would anyone want her to have access to that baby ,I don’t trust that women for a split second
lmfao this guy woulda never stepped up till anna died now he does not give a fk he only wants the money and he knows he can get it through her he needs to be well not shot but takin out back and had the chit beat out of him if anna was still alive he’d not pat a bit of child support
