Stern is listed as the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s newborn baby, People magazine is reporting.On the certificate, issued by the Registrar General’s office in Nassau, The Bahamas, the child is identified as Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, born on Sept. 7 in the Doctors Hospital in Nassau on the island of New Providence. Stern, who has been Smith’s longtime attorney and confidante, said during a Sept. 26 “Larry King Live” appearance that he is the baby’s father.
“Based on the timing of it, there shouldn’t be a doubt (of the paternity),” he said.
