ANNA NICOLE SMITH - ANNA NICOLE'S BODYGUARD: 'I COULD BE THE DADDY'

ANNA NICOLE'S BODYGUARD: 'I COULD BE THE DADDY'

A fifth potential father has joined the messy paternity battle over ANNA NICOLE SMITH's baby girl DANNIELYNN - her bodyguard ALEX DENK. In a new US TV interview, Denk claims he was the late model/actress' secret lover - and he fathered her daughter, who is the subject of a paternity fight between Smith's partner/attorney HOWARD K. STERN and ex-boyfriend LARRY BIRKHEAD. In an interview that aired on US TV show EXTRA last night (12FEB07), the chef-turned-bodyguard claims he had an intimate relationship with his employer for two years. He said, "She was wonderful, a very good kisser." Denk insists Anna Nicole always talked about having his child: "She always told me she wanted to have kids with me." The bodyguard admits he can't be sure that he's Dannielynn's biological father, but adds, "There's always a possibility." As well as Birkhead and Stern, actress ZSA ZSA GABOR's husband PRINCE FREDERIC VON ANHALT has hinted that he's the father of the child, and Smith's half-sister DONNA HOGAN claims frozen sperm from the actress' late husband J. HOWARD MARSHALL could have been used to impregnate Anna Nicole.
