Anna Nicole Smith's Daughter Dannielynn Turns 17 & Her Birthday Photos Prove She's Just as Stunning as Her Mom
The late Anna Nicole Smith was jaw-droppingly beautiful, and it seems she’s passed those genes to her daughter Dannielynn Birkhead. In new birthday photos that span her 17 years, Dannielynn looks absolutely stunning.
Her dad, Larry Birkhead, shared a video to Instagram today made up of photos of his and the Playboy model’s little girl. From her blue-eyed stare in a baby bouncy seat to her trendy toddler outfits and her grown-up smile, you can tell that she looks just like her model mother. It’s heartwarming to see how happy and grown up she seems!
The Kentucky-based photographer also wrote a moving tribute to his little girl. “Happy 17th Birthday Dannielynn! I am so proud of you in each and every way. Wishing you the best day ever !” he wrote in the caption.
“You are funny, crazy smart, pretty and just about everything I could ever imagine,” Birkhead continued. “Your Mom would be so proud of you, I sure am. Happy Birthday! Love Dad ❤️.” Are you crying yet? Because we are sobbing!
In the caption, Birkhead told a sweet anecdote about a request his daughter once made. “By the way, when you asked me if you could live in my basement forever. I said yes, but I didn’t have the heart to tell you there aren’t any basements in Florida ???? ❤️ #HappyBirthday ????,” he said. Their relationship is so special!
Many people commented on how much Dannielynn looks like her beautiful mother.
“Happy Birthday Dannielynn!! She looks so much like her beautiful mama I just know she’s so proud ❤️❤️,” one person said.
“She’s the spitting image of her mom. So beautiful and congrats for being such a great dad!
Happy Birthday Dannielyn!!!????????????????????” someone else commented.
Another wrote, “Us die hard Anna fans have loved watching Dannielynn grow and Larry being a doting father whilst keeping Anna’s legacy alive xx.”
Dannielynn was born in 2006, just months before her mother died of a drug overdose in Feb. 2007. But while she looks just like her famous mama, she doesn’t necessarily want to dress like her.
In a May 2023 interview with PEOPLE, Birkhead shared that Dannielynn thinks her mom’s old clothes are “not my style.” He explained, “Everything that she has of her mom’s is all cataloged in storage with pictures of every event that she wore it to. If she appreciates it one day, she can. If she wants to give it to her kids, she can. If she doesn’t like it, she can sell it, whatever she wants to do.” He added, “But it’s there, and it’s for her whenever she wants.”
These celebrity kids are giving their parents a humbling reality check by having zero interest in their movies.
