Anna Nicole's Lawyer Says He's The Father

Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer revealed live - via satellite from the Bahamas - that he's the farther of little Hannah and not photographer Larry Birkhead, as had recently been speculated.

Stern called himself the "Proud father" and revealed that the newborn's name is Danilynne Hope. Dani pays tribute to the recently deceased Daniel and Lynne is an homage to Anna Nicole's birth name, Vicky Lynne Hogan.

Stern said that he and Anna wanted to keep the relationship private because he is her lawyer.

Stern also said: "We will never get over Daniel not being with us but at the same time we have a big responsibility and a big bundle of joy that hopefully, hopefully, will not be affected at all by what we are going through right now."

Stern, who works exclusively for Smith, said at the time of his death Daniel had been struggling after breaking up with his girlfriend but Stern did not believe "suicide was an issue."

"We are still waiting to find out what the cause is," Stern said. "We also now have an indication that there may have been other prescriptive medication in his system but we don't know, you know, if that would have contributed to his death or not."
