Baby Daddy Drama for Anna Nicole

Posted by Deanna Couras Goodson Sep 27, 2006

Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's friend and longtime attorney, has announced that he is the father of her new baby. The couple, who are planning to remain in the Bahamas away from the media glare, has named the little girl, Dannie Lynn Hope. The baby is Anna's one 'ray of hope' since the death of her son, Daniel. Stern says that the two plan to marry soon.

Rumors abounded that the father of the baby was Anna's previous beau, photographer Larry Birkhead. Larry, for his part, doesn't believe Howard's admission and has asked for a paternity test.
