DNA tests prove Birkhead is father of Anna Nicole’s baby

DNA analysis has proved that Anna Nicole Smith’s former boyfriend Larry Birkhead is the father of her baby daughter, an expert in genetic evidence said last night.

Dr Michael Baird, who analysed the results of a March 21 DNA test, announced the results outside the court in Nassau, Bahamas, where a closed hearing in a legal battle for custody of the girl was heard.

“Essentially, he’s the biological father,” Dr Baird told reporters.
