After months of waiting, DNA samples of Larry Birkhead and the 6-month-old daughter of deceased supermodel Anna Nicole Smith have finally been collected, as confirmed by MSNBC earlier today. And now, we wait some more.
Gossip Web site TMZ.com is confirming that DNA samples from Birkhead and Dannielynn Hope were collected in a Bahamas doctor’s office at 9 a.m. this morning. DNA was not collected from Howard K. Stern be cause of a legal presumption that he’s the baby’s father, as printed on her birth certificate.
The collection of DNA samples brings to a close a fight that started long before Smith’s sudden death in a South Florida hotel room last month. Birkhead has been claiming he’s the father of Dannielyn since shortly after her birth.
Smith and Stern both dismissed those claims, first by announcing Stern was the father, followed by a lavish and, by some accounts, unexpected revelation that the lawyer/client relationship had been taken to a new level. If the DNA is found to be a match, Birkhead can then challenge Stern to a DNA test and take the battle for custody to court.
According to TMZ.com, the DNA samples were sent to a lab in Columbus, Ohio. Bahamian officials say they expect results within four working days.
