Larry Birkhead Career Highlights

Larry Birkhead started his photography career in the early 2000s by taking pictures of famous people. He first met Anna Nicole Smith in 2004 at a party called the Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Gala. 

Birkhead continued to work as a photographer, but he shifted away from taking pictures of celebrities. Now, he focuses on real estate and making sure his daughter has a regular life.

Besides photography, Larry has been on TV quite a bit. He appeared on shows like "Life After Anna" on E!

He has also been a guest on talk shows like the "Wendy Williams Show" and "Good Morning America." 

Larry Birkhead Paternity Claim  

Larry Birkhead and Anna Nicole Smith first met at the Kentucky Derby in May 2004. They were a couple on and off for two years, but they kept their relationship private. Larry said on a TV show in 2017 that Anna didn't want him in the public eye, and their relationship had a lot of ups and downs.  

 Anna had a baby girl on September 7, 2006, in the Bahamas. Some other men, including Anna's lawyer Howard K. Stern, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, and Alexander Denk, said they might be the father too.  

Many men said they could be the baby's dad. After a long legal fight, a DNA test showed that Larry was Dannielynn's real father. In April 2007, a court gave him full custody. 

Larry Birkhead Media Appearances  

Back in 2012, Larry Birkhead teamed up with Guess? to make a special ad campaign with Dannielynn. Some people didn't like this and said he was using her, especially because her mom had modeled for the same company in the 1990s. But Birkhead said it was a way for his child to feel a connection to her late mom.  

Then, in 2014, Birkhead showed up on two reality TV shows and talked a bit about his life after Anna Nicole. He was on "Celebrity Wife Swap," where he switched lives with race car driver Helio Castroneves, and later he was on "Millionaire Matchmaker" with Patti Stanger. 

Dannielynn Birkhead's Inheritance  

In the most recent court decision, it was determined that Dannielynn Birkhead won't get any part of the $450 million inheritance from J. Howard Marshall's estate. Anna Nicole Smith said she was promised this money through a spoken agreement with the wealthy man who passed away. 

After almost 15 years of legal battles that went on even after J. Howard Marshall, Anna Nicole Smith, and J. Howard Marshall's son had passed away, a Texas appeals court decided that the billionaire never truly meant to leave everything to Smith.
