The Bahamas Supreme Court has ordered a DNA test for Dannielynn's biological father, leaving Larry Birkhead happy and Howard K. Stern devastated.
The father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter will be revealed soon. A DNA test to determine five-month-old Dannielynn's father was ordered by the Bahamas Supreme Court yesterday (20.03.07).
Anna Nicole's former lover photographer Larry Birkhead, who claims he is Dannielynn's father, was overjoyed by the ruling. Birkhead, who pumped his fists in the air and jumped up and down as he emerged from court, said: "I feel great. It was a great day in court for me. Bahamian people, thank you so much!"
Asked if he thought he would see Dannielynn soon, he smiled and winked. Anna Nicole's lover and lawyer Howard K. Stern - who is listed as Dannielynn's father on her birth certificate - was left devastated by the judge's decision. He said: "I'm doing the best I can."
Stern, who is currently caring for Dannielynn, was ordered not to leave the Bahamas with her before the custody ruling.
Frederic von Anhalt, the husband of legendary Hollywood beauty Zsa Zsa Gabor, also claims he could be Dannielynn's father.
Dannielynn has been at the centre of a paternity battle since her mother collapsed in a Florida hotel room and died aged just 39 last month. She could inherit millions from the estate of Anna Nicole's late husband, oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall.
Anna Nicole had been fighting his family for his estimated $500 million fortune since he died in 1995.
