Anna Nicole SmithRumours about Anna Nicole Smith and a possible pregnancy have been circulating for a while but now the unborn’s dad has confirmed she is pregnant with a little girl.

Celebrity photographer Larry Birkhead told TMZ.com: “I have been told that I am expecting a child, I have seen the ultrasound and have spoken to doctors. I am very excited about the possibility of becoming a father.”

He claims he had previously been asked to deny the rumours by Anna’s lawyer, Howard K Stern. Stern continues to deny the pregnancy, even after Larry’s confirmation.

Stern replied to TMZ.com: “Anna wants that guy completely out of her life and obviously he is having trouble dealing with it. You’ll be able to find out soon enough [about the pregnancy].”
