That’s right, in a somewhat surprising revelation, Howard K. Stern says he is the father of the baby that Anna Nicole Smith gave birth to recently. Stern was with Anna Nicole when the baby was born, along with Anna’s son Daniel, who died that same night in mysterious circumstances.

The child, he said, is “the one thing that is really keeping her going. And through it all, even with all the pain, she has been a great mom, a very attentive mom.”

The Anna Nicole Smith situation is nearly epicly tragic in the sense of the contrast between one child dying and one child living at the same time. Apparently, Anna plans on focusing on the life. Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole Smith have been romantically involved, secretly, for quite some time.

As for his relationship with Anna Nicole, Stern said: “We love each other and it’s been going on for a very long time and because of my relationship as her lawyer, we felt it was best to keep everything hidden. And we’ve done a pretty good job of that.”

The investigation into her son’s death continues.
