Dannielynn Birkhead Is The Spitting Image Of Her Mother — Almost 10 Years After Her Death

Dannielynn Birkhead was an infant when Anna Nicole Smith died from a drug overdose in 2007, but a recent interview proves that she is the spitting image of her mother.

Larry Birkhead, who began dating Smith in 2004, said that he made the purposeful decision to raise his daughter in a small town in Kentucky.

“I’m not the best dad,” Birkhead said during an interview with the Today show this week. “I have my faults, but I do the best I can with what the situation is. We make the best of it, and I think Dannielynn’s best days are still to come.”

“She’s got such a bright future in front of her, and I try every day to keep a little bit of the memory alive of her mom.”

“I made a conscious decision a long time ago to move to Kentucky,” he added. “I do that on purpose because it takes away the chase, it takes away the curiosity, it takes away the false stories.” (RELATED: America Is Stunned By How Much Anna Nicole Smith’s Daughter Looks Like Her)

“People call me all the time and say can she be in a movie, can she model? I didn’t care about it, so I’d say no she’s not interested. She’s just a regular kid. She’s into technology now and she’s into games and these YouTube videos.”

After Smith died, five different men claimed they were Dannielynn’s father.

“You look back on it and I’m a better person and a stronger person because of the stuff that I went through,” Larry said. “I look back ten years, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” (RELATED: Anna Nicole Smith’s Ex: Raising Our Daughter Without Her Is ‘Tough’)

“There’s things left unanswered, things that I didn’t get to say to her, and it’s tough when you go to school and you’re filling out the forms. It gets me every year. And you have to put ‘deceased’ on her mom’s information.”

“There’s days that if I stop and think about it, and you ask me about it, you will see a tear, but every other minute of the day you will see a smile. That’s just how it goes.”
