Dannielynn's father could be Anna's death hubby, since she's frozen his sperm and might use it to get pregnant.
Anna Nicole Smith's dead husband, billionaire J. Howard Marshall, could be
her daughter Dannielynn's father, it has been claimed.
Anna Nicole's sister, Donna Hogan, says the former Playboy Playmate froze
the 89-year-old's sperm and may have used it to get pregnant.
Anna Nicole married the Texan oil tycoon in 1994, but he died the following
year.
Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern - who bears the names of two of her possible
fathers - was born in the Bahamas five months ago and has been the subject
of a bitter paternity battle.
Anna Nicole was ordered to have her daughter undergo a paternity test just
days before she tragically died last week, after photographer Larry Birkhead
filed a lawsuit claiming he fathered Dannielynn during a two-year affair.
The former model insisted Howard K Stern - her lawyer and lover - was the
father of the child. He is named as the father on Dannielynn's birth
certificate.
Stern flew to the Bahamas at the weekend to see Dannielynn.
As he held her he sobbed: "This is the only piece of Anna I have left."
However, Anna Nicole's mother Virgie Arthur - who also spent the weekend in
the Bahamas trying to convince child services to let her care for the
child - accused Stern of only grieving because he had lost his "meal ticket".
She said she believed Birkhead is Dannielynn's biological father.
Birkhead's lawyer Debra Opri said: "Everybody is in agreement that the child
must be removed from Stern's environment."
Prince Frederic von Anhalt - husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor - joined the paternity
battle on Friday (09.02.07) by claiming he had a ten-year affair with Anna
Nicole.
He also said up to 30 men could be Dannielynn's father.
Prince Frederic revealed: "Anna liked to have fun. She liked to have fun
with men. She was a very sexy woman."
Whoever is ruled to be Dannielynn's father will take control of Anna Nicole's estate and the £240 million she could inherit from Marshall's estate.
Stern faced more heartache at the weekend after discovering the locks had
been changed on the house he shared with Anna Nicole.
Anna Nicole, 39, was pronounced dead in Florida's Memorial Regional Hospital
at around 2.45pm on Thursday (08.02.07).
The Florida medical examiner said it could take several weeks to establish
the cause of death, amid reports the model had been drinking heavily and
prescription drugs were found in her hotel room.
