NASSAU, Bahamas - Larry Birkhead is the father of

Anna Nicole Smith's baby, according to DNA tests, and the late reality TV star's former boyfriend emerged from a court hearing Tuesday to proclaim that his daughter would soon be home.

 

"I told you so!" Birkhead said as he jubilantly announced the DNA results after the closed hearing. Then he hugged his rival, Howard K. Stern. Smith's lawyer-turned-companion has been caring for baby Dannielynn since her sudden death in February.

 

The hearing left unresolved who will have custody of the girl. Another custody hearing was scheduled for Friday.

 

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, 39, collapsed and died in a Florida hotel Feb. 8.

 

The baby, whose full name is Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, was born five months before her mother's death. She 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.

I kinda of feel bad for Stern. He has lost everyone around him in the last 8 months. Has to be hard.

Hopefully this saga will go away now.

 

Kind of hard to say he lost Danielynn, seeing as she was never his to begin with. Which leads me to this point, never sign your name to a birth certificate if you didnt cause the birth.

 

And this saga wont go away for a while. We have TV movies, tell-all books, ET exclusives, the matter of who gets the billionaire inheritance. Unfortunately, this one is gonna be stuck in our craw for quite some time.

Stern may have had legit reason to believe the baby was his, and for all we know ANS may have convinced him the baby was his.

I thought it was a little weird how Birkhead was posing and celebrating for the media. I understand he's happy that the DNA test confirmed his fathering of the baby, but it just put me off a little bit. Nothing should surprise me in this story, though - plenty of weirdness to go around.

CHA CHING

Well, yeah, I get that part of it totally.

It's just a shame that he couldn't exhibit a little bit of decorum in that situation.

Of course, ending up with a whackjob like Anna Nicole kind of scratches decorum off the list anyway.

Has to be hard my ass... the only reason he was around her was for the inheritance anyway, and he probably could care less about her kid, or Nicole, or the baby. F'in creep.

This guy is an a-s-s-h-o-l-e that has used and abused every person around him. He didn't care about Anna Nicole Smith. What he did to her was a disgrace and he was only trying to get custody of her little girl for the inheritance. I don't feel bad for him at all.

Why are some people so slow to get these damn tests if there's a quetion of paternity? Then again there are those idiots who get letters from a doctor's office about not being a dad, accept it, and pitch the letter in the trash. Some people are just not smart! :P
