Larry Birkhead remains dedicated to ensuring his and Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, now 18, is surrounded by people who genuinely care for her. The photographer emphasizes the importance of carefully considering the motivations of those around them.
Birkhead, 52, said ahead of Father’s Day 2025 that discerning genuine intentions was challenging, especially when Dannielynn was younger. He has always tried to shield her from media attention and those seeking personal gain.
He admitted that his protective efforts haven’t always been prosperous. Some individuals, he noted, approached them with hidden agendas.
“Some would say, ‘I want to hang out with you because I think I can get on entertainment Tonight,’ or ‘Can you help my kid model? or ‘We need a vacation but can’t afford it,'” Larry recalled.
What’s next
Birkhead plans to continue prioritizing Dannielynn’s well-being, focusing on fostering authentic relationships and shielding her from exploitation as she navigates adulthood and defines her own role in the public eye.
