The commitment ceremony took place 18 days after the demise of Anna’s elder son Daniel Smith who died of the lethal combination of antidepressants and painkiller on 10th September 2006.
Before the death of Anna in February, the couple was planning official wedding ceremony. In the interview with People.com, he revealed that:
“We were going to make everything legally binding in less than two weeks.”
On 1st June 2006, Anna Nicole Smith announced that she is pregnant and she wouldn’t be any happier. Her attorney and boyfriend Howard K. Stern revealed that he had been in secret relationship with Anna for an extended period and he is the father of the daughter named Dannielynn.
Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, who stepped into the world on 7 September 2006, had the name of Howard K, Stern on her birth certificate, though there were claims and confusion about the biological father. During those days, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, Alexander Denk, and Larry Birkhead were all claiming to be the father.
On 10th April 2007, the court ruled the judgment that Larry Birkhead is the biological father of Dannielynn and Howard didn’t contest the result. While Dannielynn lives with Larry in the United States, he maintains a relationship with his daughter.
After the acquittal from the court, he lives a life away from the limelight and as of 2017; there is no confirmed news of him getting married to another woman and having a wife.
