Overview
- Birkhead posted a slideshow on Instagram celebrating his daughter’s 20th birthday, which he shared on Monday, Sept. 7, with the caption “Happy 20th Birthday Dannielynn! Love, Dad.”
- Dannielynn is now a college student majoring in forensic science and has said she may add a culinary-related field, signaling her own career interests separate from her mother’s fame.
- Photos and online comments have renewed attention to Dannielynn’s physical resemblance to her late mother, Anna Nicole Smith, and she has occasionally worn pieces that reference her mother’s wardrobe.
- The father and daughter have kept an annual Barnstable Brown Gala and Kentucky Derby tradition, but Larry has said that as she grows older the pair may stop attending together.
- Larry raised Dannielynn largely out of the Hollywood spotlight in Kentucky after Anna Nicole Smith’s death in 2007 and after paternity was confirmed by DNA tests, a history that frames the duo’s guarded public moments and the current focus on family and legacy.
