Birkhead and Smith dated in the last few years of her life, and he is the father to her only surviving child, Dannielynn.,

Actress and Playboy Playmate of the Year Anna Nicole Smith died in 2007 at age 39 in a Hollywood, Fla., hotel room as a result of an overdose of prescription drugs. She appeared on the "The Anna Nicole Show" from 2002-2004.

Anna Nicole Smith’s ex, Larry Birkhead, is revealing new details on what it was like dating the infamous star. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JANUARY 13: Larry Birkhead attends the Lifetime special screening: Robin Roberts Presents "Stolen By My Mother, The Kamiyah Mobley Story"on January 13, 2020 in New York City. “She did not want to share the spotlight she was getting and the attention she was getting with anybody else because that was where she felt loved,” Birkhead said on Bunnie Xo’s. “You’re taking that love away when you’re taking a piece of whatever away. That’s why I think she was the way that she was.” Birkhead dated Smith near the end of her life and is the father of her only daughter, Dannielynn. Smith had a son, Daniel Wayne Smith, who died in September 2006 from an accidental drug overdose. The former Playboy model died from an accidental overdose just a few months later in February 2007. He recalled spending time at the late model’s home, where her attorney, Howard K. Stern, was also a frequent fixture. Anna Nicole Smith, right, smiles as she walks to the courthouse with her attorney Howard K. Stern in Houston. “When I first came to the house it kind of felt a little cultlike. Like we were in some kind of cult,” Birkhead said. “I didn’t want to be an entourage member, or whatever. I maintained independence I tried to as far as I could. I still worked and did my own thing. I wasn’t asking her for money, that kind of stuff.” “The people in the house, they were having their bills paid,” Birkhead continued. “But at the same time, people in the house were working for her.” He credited Stern with working “tirelessly” for her and acting like “a father figure” to her son but also felt the lawyer “stepped into the relationship territory” between Smith and Birkhead. The photographer also admitted it was difficult to have Smith keep their relationship so private, presenting herself as “this available goddess that people desired to be with. When she went out on a red carpet, that was what she projected. Like, you would want to be with this woman if you could be with this woman. That was part of her image.” He continued, “If she was on an interview, there’s tons of them out there, , ‘I haven’t had sex in years. Oh my god, no guy asks me out. I don’t go on a date.’ All that stuff. That was part of her thing. She said it because she wanted to appear to be available and for you to think you could have a chance with Anna Nicole.”“Home Improvement” star Zachery Ty Bryan will be serving another 19 months in prison in Oregon after admitting to three probation violations.Investigators in Iowa believe they may have found the person responsible for the 2011 slaying of realtor Ashley Okland.Police believe the dog had been outside for more than 24 hours, exposed to the elements.The 2023 shooting death of a pregnant woman on her way to work in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood is again drawing attention to Washington’s “born alive” rule aKing County prosecutors are seeking to have a teenage suspect charged as an adult in connection with the murders of two high school students.
