Anna Nicole Smith's bodyguard: 'I could be the father'

13/02/2007

Just when you think the paternity battle for Anna Nicole Smith's baby girl couldn't be more complicated, a fifth potential father comes along.

Her bodyguard has now said there is a possibility that he could be the daddy of her five-month-old baby girl Dannielynn after a two-year secret relationship.

Speaking on US television show Extras, bodyguard Alex Denk admitted that children had not been ruled out while together saying: "She always told me she wanted to have kids with me."

Although Mr Denk said that he wasn't sure that he was the father he confessed that "there's always a possibility".

And it seems he's not the only one who thinks that. Ms Smith's partner and lawyer Howard Stern, whose name is on the birth certificate, claims to be the daddy alongside former partner Larry Birkhead and Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband Prince Frederic Von Anhalt.

Bizarrely, Anna Nicole's sister also thinks Dannielynn could be the result of the preserved sperm of the oil giant J. Howard Marshall who the former Playboy playmate controversially married in 1994.

Anna Nicole was found to be "unresponsive" in her Floridian hotel room on Thursday and was later pronounced dead in hospital, although it is not yet known what caused her death.

The reality television star, 39, lost her 20-year-old son Daniel in September to an overdose of Zoloft, Lexapro and methadone.

Dannielynn was born just three days before the death of Daniel.
