Paternity Test Ordered For Anna Nicole Smith’s Baby
A paternity test has been ordered for the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith.
“Los Angeles Superior Court has ruled today that Anna Nicole Smith and 3-month-old baby daughter Dannielynn are ordered to submit to paternity testing,” read a statement from Luck Media & Marketing Inc, reports Yahoo! News.
Smith’s ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, has insisted he is the real father of the infant, not Smith’s current partner, lawyer Howard K. Stern.
“I believe there is not an issue about Anna’s willingness or unwillingness to submit to testing,” Smith’s attorney, Ron Rale. “Any kind of allegation that she’s blatantly refusing DNA tests is off the mark and not an accurate depiction of the legal process at this time.”
Birkhead, a Los Angeles photographer, filed a lawsuit in October claiming paternity of Dannielynn, who was born in September in the Bahamas.
Anna Nicole has remained in the Bahamas since the birth of her daughter, seeking solitude after her son Daniel suddenly died.
