Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, was born September 7, 2006, in New Providence, The Bahamas. In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live" after the death of Smith's son, her longtime personal attorney, Howard K. Stern, said that he and Smith had been in a relationship for "a very long time" and that due to the timing of the pregnancy, he was confident that he was the father of the baby. Entertainment photographer Larry Birkhead maintained that he was the baby's father and filed a lawsuit to establish paternity. The Bahamian birth certificate recorded the father as Stern.
