Louisville, Ky. – Anna Nicole Smith’s ex-boyfriend arrived in Kentucky from the Bahamas on Tuesday with their infant daughter and said he is looking forward to introducing the baby to his family.
“It just feels good to be home,” Larry Birkhead said after stepping off a private jet.
Birkhead said he plans to show off 7-month-old Dannielynn to his family in Louisville and “relax and horse around.” He said his plans include attending the Barnstable Brown party Friday, an exclusive celebrity-packed gala on the eve of the Kentucky Derby. The event is where he and Smith first met when he was working as a freelance photographer.
He said Tuesday the baby had an easy flight: “She did great.”
Birkhead, 34, said he’s unsure if he will stay in Louisville with his daughter.
It is the first trip out of the Bahamas for Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead, who was born three days before Smith’s adult son, Daniel, died at her hospital bedside from a lethal combination of drugs. Smith, 39, died in February from an accidental drug overdose.
Birkhead was authorized by a judge last week to take Dannielynn out of the Bahamas. The ruling followed legal battles by Birkhead to prove his paternity claim and gain custody following Smith’s death.
